alexasigno Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Well my knowledge of php is even poorer than first imagined! Im trying to do something simple but jsut cant get it to work and would really appreiciate some help.Im trying to detect whether the user agent is a robot and if it is to send it to one page, and if its not to send it to another.[code]<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body><?php$botlist = array("alexa", "appie", "Ask Jeeves", "crawler", "FAST","froogle", "Firefly", "girafabot", "Googlebot", "InfoSeek", "inktomi","looksmart", "NationalDirectory", "rabaz", "Scooter", "Slurp", "Spade","TECNOSEEK", "Teoma", "WebBug", "WebFindBot", "URL_Spider_SQL","ZyBorg"); function detectBrowser($agent) { if (eregi("botlist", $agent)) { $browser = "Bot"; } else { $browser = "Browser"; } return $browser; }?><?php$user_agent = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];$isBrowser = detectBrowser($user_agent);if ($isBrowser=="Bot") {echo "<a href='http://www.sitea.com">";} else {echo "<a href='http://www.siteb.com">"; }?></body></html>[/code]But im not quite sure what im doing wrong?
