Ian,
That's it! The following script:
<?php
echo $_SERVER[HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE];
?>
..generates the following output using Safari:
en-us, ja;q=0.21, de-de;q=0.86, de;q=0.79, fr-fr;q=0.71, fr;q=0.64,
nl-nl;q=0.57, nl;q=0.50, it-it;q=0.43, it;q=0.36, ja-jp;q=0.29,
en;q=0.93, es-es;q=0.14, es;q=0.07
..and the following output using Windows IE 6.0.2800.1106:
en-us
I don't understand why Safari presents itself as supporting so many
languages. However, the match on 'ja' is clearly what's causing the
redirect. It's a positive match for stristr.
As a PHP coder by profession, I would suggest testing for the presence
of 'ja' in $_SERVER[HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE] and the absence of 'macintosh'
(!eregi('macintosh')) in $_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT].
Of course, I imagine you have a number of other tests taking place which
will complicate things a bit. In any case, it's the test for 'ja' that's
causing Safari to head to the Japanese page.
Thanks!
