Adding "Media query" to If/else statements in PHP

Question

Im using the following code to echo content in wordpress based on the size of its title.

<?php 
$title  = the_title('','',false);
if(strlen($title) > 35):
    echo content(20);
else:
    echo content(45);
endif;
?>

Is there a simple way of projecting a media query before this to echo an output based on the window width so basically for mobiles and devices

As per a reply i still cant get this to work using:

<?php 
if ( wp_is_mobile() ) {
    echo content (20);
} else {
$title  = the_title('','',false);
if(strlen($title) > 35):
    echo content(20);
else:
    echo content(45);
endif;
}
?>

Even simplifying the code to following doesn't seem to work:

<?php 
if ( wp_is_mobile() ) {
    echo content(20);
} else {
    echo content(45);
}
?>

and simply uses the "else" value: echo content(45) on mobile

thanks for the quick comment but you misunderstood my question. ID like to basically add: if($windowwidth) > 480; echo "this" — PahPow, Jun 16 '16 at 03:36
What didn't work for you? What are input and expecting output? — sarahcoding, Jun 16 '16 at 08:16
Determining the output based on the "size" of the_title works fine. Its the wp_is_mobile that is not outputting as intended its basically ignoring the wp_is_mobile — PahPow, Jun 16 '16 at 08:25
Did you try it on real mobile devices or just resize your browser? — sarahcoding, Jun 16 '16 at 09:14

WordPress doesn't have any functionalities to detect window width. PHP itself cannot do that.

The most promising solution is to use wp_is_mobile():

if ( !wp_is_mobile() ) {
    echo "this";
} else {
    echo "that";
}

so in theory this should work? ` 35): echo content(20); else: echo content(45); endif; } ?>` – PahPow Jun 16 '16 at 08:08
