[Resolved] IE and Firefox

[fr8]

i know HTTP_USE_AGENT has the varible but I have seen so many strings. I dont think it will work.. Is there a general varible for Internet Explorer that i can compare to?

if(IE == IE General){
display IE specific CODE
}else{
display code for all other browsers.
}

MSIE for ie. Gecko for firefox and any other mozilla based browser.

You could also search google for a browser sniffer. There are a few premade ones for php.

Found a real nice one and it gets the job done.

$browsers = "mozilla msie gecko firefox ";
$browsers .= "konqueror safari netscape navigator opera ";
$browsers .= "mosaic lynx amaya omniweb";

$browsers = split(" ", $browsers);

$nua = strToLower( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);

$l = strlen($nua);
for ($i=0; $i<count($browsers); $i++){
  $browser = $browsers[$i];
  $n = stristr($nua, $browser);
  if(strlen($n)>0){
    $GLOBALS["ver"] = "";
    $GLOBALS["nav"] = $browser;
    $j=strpos($nua, $GLOBALS["nav"])+$n+strlen($GLOBALS["nav"])+1;
    for (; $j<=$l; $j++){
      $s = substr ($nua, $j, 1);
      if(is_numeric($GLOBALS["ver"].$s) )
      $GLOBALS["ver"] .= $s;
      else
      break;
    }
  }
}
echo $GLOBALS["nav"];

echo $GLOBALS["ver"];

You could also use [man]get_browser[/man] with a recent browscap file.
