michaellunsford Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Thus quoteth the manual:[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--] While browscap.ini contains information on many browsers, it relies on user updates to keep the database current.[/quote]okay, we know get_browser isn't the solution. Is there an easier way to just find out what a site visitor's operating system is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 HTTP_USER_AGENT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 As Crayon_Violent pointed out, HTTP_USER_AGENT, which is a part of the global variable $_SERVER[]$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellunsford Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 I had hoped not to explode USER_AGENT by ";" and write a function to interpret the third array object. I guess browscap.ini is starting to look better than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poirot Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 get_browser RELIES on the USER_AGENT:[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]mixed get_browser ( [string [b]user_agent[/b] [, bool return_array]] )[/quote]It IS the best option. Finito. Maybe you can code something similar, but you'll have to use the USER_AGENT header anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
