Module development and code questions

Hai,

I am a PHP programmer.
I am new to drupal.
Can anyone tell me how to customize and understand the coding structure in drupal

Thank u

I am fairly new to jQuery.

basically I just want to do $('body').width(), which returns the width of the body element. I want to store that in a php variable.
Also if i wanted this in my page.tpl.php how would I go about it.
I know I use something like:

<?php
   drupal_add_js(
    '$(document).ready(function(){
         $("body").width();
     });',
    'inline'
   );
?>

thanks.

Thanks for any help.

I have a form with an element of type #file defined as follows:
