PHP & http_user_agent - please help..!

[Anon]

Hello all,

I'm wondering if php can do a browser detection through an include. When I write some code and plug it into a page I'm visiting it works fine, but when I plug the detection code into an include and run the include from the page I'm visiting, nothing happens. My code does not work anymore... =(

PHP must be better than this, I know I can do it all with asp, is there a newer version of php that you can reference browser detection code through a include, or am I stuck in limbo.....

Please help me.

Thank You All.

Jenny

well, without any code it is a bit hard to help you out. and yes php can do what you want it to. you just have to know how to make php do it.

Here's my browser.inc file contents

<?
echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT;
?>

Index.php contents:

<?php
include("browser.inc");
?>

Maybe you have a scoping problem? have you tried doing something like:

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; and seen if you can see that variable? Maybe echo some stuff to the screen?

Seeing your code would be helpful...
