PhP script

[Anon]

Hi,
I tried to concoct a PHP script on my own here to put in a webpage that would redirect users with certain browsers to a different page. I get no more errors with it, but it doesn't seem to work. I appreciate any help you can give me with this.

Thanks,
Dave
Here is teh script

<? if (ereg( "^[Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)]", $HTTP_USER_AGENT )) {
header("Location: http://www.blah.com/dodo.htm");
}

?>

What are the [] in the regular expression for?

ereg( "^Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)", $HTTP_USER_AGENT ))

is what you want. What you have is exactly the same as

ereg( "^[ ()./;04589abcdeEiIlMmnopStwxz]", $HTTP_USER_AGENT ))

which matches any string that starts with any one of the characters in the []
