Determine Browser

[Ell20]

Hi,

 

Is there anyway in which you can determine which version of browser, more specifically if the user has Internet Explorer Version 6 or lower?

 

If they do, is it possible to ask them to upgrade before they can view the site?

 

Really appreciate any help on this

Take a look into get_browser().

See the example over there, it explains the best.

I use this code for web browser checking:

<?php

// Web Browser Check

//        _______
// ----- | CONF. |
//     
// add new browsers in lower case here, separated
// by spaces -  order is important: from left to
// right browser family becomes more precise
$browsers = "mozilla msie gecko firefox ";
$browsers.= "konqueror safari netscape navigator ";
$browsers.= "opera mosaic lynx amaya omniweb";

//        _______
// ----- |PROCESS|
//   
$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;
    }
  }
}

//        _______
// ----- |  USE  |
//      
//echo("<pre>Your browser is: ");
//echo($GLOBALS["nav"] . " " . $GLOBALS["ver"] . "</pre>");

?>

Or simply...

 

<?php

$browser = get_browser(null, true);
echo "You are using {$browser['browser']} version {$browser['version']}";

?>
