Hey PHP Freaks, I think you guys are fantastic for helping out noobs like me..
Well I'm here because I need some help with some Joomla/php coding. I'm using this Joomla extension called MetaMod. Theres nothing wrong with the module, but the module requires PHP knowledge, which is what I don't have. I'm trying to display a certain module in all browsers except Internet Explorer. I saw some MetaMod PHP recipies on the Documentation page, but I didn't know what to do with. I know I'm suppose to copy and paste the code, but I don't know how to edit the code so that the module won't show up in IE. Can you help me out?
Heres the code if you guys need it:
// browser detection example (display a different module based on which browser is being used)
$UA = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] : '';
$SF = strstr($UA, 'Safari') ? true : false;
$OP = strstr($UA, 'Opera') ? true : false;
$OPV = $OP ? preg_split('/opera\//i', $UA) : false;
$OPV = $OPV ? floatval($OPV[1]) : false;
$FF = !$OP && strstr($UA, 'Firefox') ? true : false;
$FFV = $FF ? preg_split('/firefox\//i', $UA) : false;
$FFV = $FFV ? floatval($FFV[1]) : false;
$IE = strstr($UA, 'MSIE') ? true : false;
$IEV = $IE ? preg_split('/msie/i', $UA) : false;
$IEV = $IEV ? floatval($IEV[1]) : false;
if ($IEV >= 7) return 55; // any version of IE greater or equal to 7
if ($IEV >= 6) return 55; // any version of IE greater or equal to 6
if ($IE) return 55; // any version (at all) of IE
if ($OP) return 66; // any version of Opera
if ($FF) return 77; // any version of Firefox
if ($SF) return 88; // any version of Safari
And here is the Documentation page
The reason I want to block IE is because IE can't handle the Javascript that is in the module(JW Player) I'm using. Thanks for helping out in advance.
