Are Constants safe to use?
Also is it a good idea to filter $_SERVER variables before you use them? I've read they aren't safe.

Obviously if the user has enough time they could change their user agent to whatever they want including malicious code or whatever. So if you had a site displaying all the operating systems that had visited the page a user could change their user agent values to something like "<script language="Javascript">alert ("You are a looser...")</script>"
I don't see how else these could be abused really.
I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you are displaying the info for users to see.
