[SOLVED] some help and guidance

[40esp]

I don't know where to start, but in Linux, there is a problem with wmode in flash, On the web site i am developing, wmode is needed because there is a drop down menu above a flash banner. It allows the drop down portion to be displayed above the flash. Well in linux, this is crippled. Very crippled. I know in php there is a way to obtain the operating system.

 

Does anyone know of a script that will check a persons OS, and if it brings back true for Linux, echo a GIF, and if it isnt, echo my flash code?

 

Any help is apreciated.

 

Thanks

      (

              // Match user agent string with operating systems

              'Windows 3.11' => 'Win16',

      );

       

      // Loop through the array of user agents and matching operating systems
      foreach($OSList as $CurrOS=>$Match)
      {
              // Find a match
              if (eregi($Match, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))
              {
                      // We found the correct match
                      break;
              }
      }

      // You are using Windows Vista
      echo "You are using ".$CurrOS;
?>

 

Hope this helps!
