now here simple framework with PHP.
<?php
if(eregi("msie", $HTTP_USER_AGENT))
{
print("hello ie user, your browser is $HTTP_USER_AGENT");
}
elseif(eregi("mozilla", $HTTP_USER_AGENT))
{
print("hello netscape/mozilla user");
}
elseif(eregi("lynx", $HTTP_USER_AGENT))
{
print("hello lynx user");
}
elseif(eregi("opera", $HTTP_USER_AGENT))
{
print("hello opera user");
}
else {
print("you have $HTTP_USER_AGENT");
}

ok i don't have a clue what Opera has in it's $HTTP_USER_AGENT, nor i
don't have Mozilla's string quickly available (probably something
with mozilla, so goes down with netscape on that.. but). one could easily
add version detect on above too. if there was version detect, would be
easy to find if mozilla part actually means netscape 3, netscape 4, or
netscape 6 or mozilla. and you could add OS detect on it too.. you could
first do OS detect, then build a function out of the above... and so
on.. or you could ask someone to do it in perl, even better, obfuscated
perl ;)
i don't guarantee above works. didn't test it. so there might be typos :)
