Let me repeat -- that was the IE browser *masquerading* as Mozilla-compatible. ALL versions of IE do exactly the same -- you have to look at the end of the parenthesis following it to get the real version information (in this case, MSIE 6.0). Cheers!

The clue here is in the next word: "compatible" -- that's Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) 6.0 claiming it's compatible with Mozilla 4.0 browsers (of course, it's not, but that's MS for you!). > > Here's my code: > > Your are currently using: > > > You are using : browser > > > btw - Both produce the same. Is it because the apache webserver uses > Mozilla in a default sort of way ??? hum . Absolutely nothing to do with Apache -- it's just reporting what the user's browser is telling it. They're the same because they *are* the same: $HTTP_USER_AGENT is the register_globals copy of the $_SERVER[] element. Cheers!

Re: [PHP-DB] getting client browser info
Hey guys, Does anyone know of script or tutorial to point me to that can obtain client browser info, (got that part) but then using php, be able to use if statements to distinguish what they're using. example msie 5.1 - netscape - aol...And act upon it. I know the logic but am clueless on the correct syntax to use with the different browser versions. Found some for asp and javascript...need php. I should probably also post this to php general Thx for any input Mignon -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP-DB] getting client browser info
Use this to get the array in which you can find the var you need: "; print_r($_SERVER); print ""; ?> So this is the var you're looking for: $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]; -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: Mignon Hunter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Verzonden: maandag 20 januari 2003 16:05 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: [PHP-DB] getting client browser info Hello all, I need a quick script to get the client's browser make and model. ie 5 ns 4.7 etc. I've found some info in two books but no examples of how to use it to get your visitors info.

Re: [PHP-DB] getting client browser info
$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] - contains most/all of what you need. if you want color settins etc,. you'll have to include some javascript. hth jeff Mignon Hunter <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] shiba.com> cc: Subject: [PHP-DB] getting client browser info 01/20/2003 10:04 AM Hello all, I need a quick script to get the client's browser make and model. ie 5 ns 4.7 etc. I've found some info in two books but no examples of how to use it to get your visitors info.
