Detect platform

[brooky]

Hi,

Is there a php function to detect the platform. e.g. Linux or Win32??

Thanks

[brooky]

A bit of research has got me this:

$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']

which on my current browser and platform has the following value:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

How about if I do the following:

$agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

if($agent contains "windows"){ ... etc

what do you rekon?

function extract_agent returns browser, version, and system
in an array. If there is no matching browser return the original
string instead of an array.

Call it:

} else {
