Browser Detect Script Problem

[Anon]

I just wrote this script and it seems like it should work but, it's not. I first tried it with ereg, the I changed to preg_match, changed to strcmp from == and still nada. Can anyone give me some insight as to what the problem is.

<?
error_reporting(1023);

/MSIEliesaboutitsname/

	if(preg_match("/MSIE/",$HTTP_USER_AGENT)) 

{
$Browser_Name="MSIE";
}

if (preg_match("/5.0/", $HTTP_USER_AGENT)) {
$Browser_Version ="5.0";
}

if(preg_match("/Mac/",$HTTP_USER_AGENT))
{
$Browser_Platform="Macintosh";
}

if ( (strcmp($Browser_Platform,"Macintosh)) && (strcmp($Browser_Name,"MSIE")) && (strcmp($Browser_Version,"5.0")) ) {

print("this browser sucks");

	}else{
	print("not IE 5");
	}

?>

not sure if you got ereg to work but wanted something else ? anyway - this one works.

<?php if(ereg( "MSIE", $HTTP_USER_AGENT)){?>

Funny you mention that. I originaly wrote the code with the ereg function, just as you did and the same problem. I am using php4 and, so I was advised to try preg_match. Both provide me with errors. Hmm...

Like this you say..

<?
error_reporting(1023);

/MSIEliesaboutitsname/

if(ereg("MSIE",$HTTP_USER_AGENT))
{
$Browser_Name="MSIE";
}

if (ereg("5.0", $HTTP_USER_AGENT)) {
$Browser_Version ="5.0";
}

if(ereg("Mac",$HTTP_USER_AGENT))
{
$Browser_Platform="Macintosh";
}

if ( (strcmp($Browser_Platform,"Macintosh)) && (strcmp($Browser_Name,"MSIE")) && (strcmp($Browser_Version,"5.0")) ) {

print("this browser sucks");

}else{
print("not IE 5");
}
?>
