[Smackie]

Hello

          I'm just curious if there is a way to get PHP only to work with Firefox and IE7 but restrict from ie6. and if it is possible could someone show me a tutorial on this? I been meaning to look into it but Busy times doesn't help lol. Thank you

This is not a php code, rather javascript. When you put this into your index.php in your website, it will redirect the person if their browser isn't IE7 to error.html

 

Code is not tested and got it from google, if you wanna learn more just google "dynamicdrive browser redirect"

 

<script>
var browser_type=navigator.appName
var browser_version=parseInt(navigator.appVersion)
else if (browser_type=="Microsoft Internet Explorer"&&browser_version<=6)
window.location.replace("error.html")
else
window.location="http://www.website.com/welcome/"
</script>

Not sure why you would but you can try this function here.

<?php
function browser_detection( $which_test ) {

// initialize the variables
$browser = '';
$dom_browser = '';

// set to lower case to avoid errors, check to see if http_user_agent is set
$navigator_user_agent = ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) ) ? strtolower( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) : '';

// run through the main browser possibilities, assign them to the main $browser variable
if (stristr($navigator_user_agent, "opera"))
{
	$browser = 'opera';
	$dom_browser = true;
}

elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, "msie 4"))
{
	$browser = 'msie4';
	$dom_browser = false;
}

elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, "msie 6"))
{
	$browser = 'msie6';
	$dom_browser = false;
}

elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, "msie 7"))
{
	$browser = 'msie7';
	$dom_browser = false;
}

elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, "msie"))
{
	$browser = 'msie';
	$dom_browser = true;
}

elseif ((stristr($navigator_user_agent, "konqueror")) || (stristr($navigator_user_agent, "safari")))
{
	$browser = 'safari';
	$dom_browser = true;
}

elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, "gecko"))
{
	$browser = 'mozilla';
	$dom_browser = true;
}

elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, "mozilla/4"))
{
	$browser = 'ns4';
	$dom_browser = false;
}

else
{
	$dom_browser = false;
	$browser = false;
}

// return the test result you want
if ( $which_test == 'browser' )
{
	return $browser;
}
elseif ( $which_test == 'dom' )
{
	return $dom_browser;
	//  note: $dom_browser is a boolean value, true/false, so you can just test if
	// it's true or not.
}
}
$user_browser = browser_detection("browser");
if($user_browser == "msie6"){
echo "no soup for you";
}
?>

Now just check for the

I've been using this snippet to message IE6 users:

 

<?php
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE 6') !== false) {
//do something when user agent is IE6
}
?>

 

or the other way around

 

<?php
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE 6') === false) {
//do something when user agent is anything but IE6
}
?>
