Re: [PHP-DEV] Bug #14367: browscap not well documented

[Philip Olson]

Currently browscap.ini is a front by Cyscape to promote browserHawk. In
fact, they often diss on browscap.ini on their website and haven't updated
the file since Feb 2000.  Back in the good 'ol days it was updated and
made more sense, not anymore.

A feature request to not use browscap.ini at all exists here:

  http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=4856

This is a very nice feature request :)

Regards,
Philip Olson

AFAIK the browscap.ini is not anymore supported/updated. The only
alternative I know of is:

  http://phpsniff.sourceforge.net/

any other suggestions?

[PHP-DEV] Bug #14367: browscap not well documented

[knightemu]

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Operating system: win 98
PHP version:  4.0.6
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description:  browscap not well documented

As far as i can see, there is no documentation for getting the browscap.ini
to work on a win98 running apache. As i was looking at the documentation, i
also saw a general lack of documentation on the browscap.ini file on more
then one platform.

when looking up the get_browser, it was not clear that a file had to be
downloaded in addition to the php download and it was not clear that the
file had to be configured and installed on the system running php. This is
not a big problem, but while i was trying to get help on installing my
browscap.ini file i found none.

I cant get get_browser to work because i cant figure out how to install the
browscap.ini file. Is it possible? If it its not possible it would have
been nice to know.

Knight
