operating system

[Anon]

how do you detect the operating system with php?

[Anon]

the only way in php is to read the environment variable $HTTP_USER_AGENT, it gives you a string like this

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0)

maybe there's another way?

how about the server OS too ?
