PHP passes on *everything* the server passes on which is usually
*everything* the browser provides.

There is no "more" information hidden somewhere from you.

It's incredibly unlikely that Linux browsers provide this info to the web
server, so it's not going to be available to PHP.

JavaScript *might* let you read "Environment" variables, though I doubt it.

Google for "JavaScript and Environment Variables" and you should find it
if it's possible.

Perhaps if you explained why you want the DISPLAY variable we could
suggest some work-arounds...

I can't imagine what that would be, mind you, but...
