can be PHP be disabled by a user?

[danielmoski]

hello,

javascript can be disbaled by the user setting the security level to high in IE and disabling scripting directly in NS.

Can PHP be disabled by the end user changing browswer settings?

No. PHP runs on the server, not the client, so a PHP script, when called, will always run (assuming the server is set up correctly, and the script is composed properly)

hi,

thanks for your quick answer. so PHP would be good to do browswer detection since it could not be turned off. ie, to serve up different stylesheets based on the browser being used.

thx

Yep. Or to customize the actual content of the page, or send emails ... and lots more uses, too.🆒

[danielmoski]

yes, i am finding many uses for it. Can you recommend a cross browser detectoin script? I am sure good ones already exist.
