Why use a PHP3 script when Apache can log it for you?

The most useful information you can get about the browser is the User-Agent
string, which identifies which browser is viewing the page.  This
information can be used for all sorts of sillyness should you desire to use
it that way.

Using a CustomLog, you can easily configure Apache to save the User-Agent
string [as well as many other parameters] recieved during a HTTP request so
you can then look at with which browser your site was hit with.
