PHP browser detection...

[webmaster1]

I want to echo a message if my document is being viewed in IE6. I've come across the following 2 ways:

 

<!--[if IE 6]>
<p>IE6 detected!</p>
<![endif]-->

 

or

 

<?php
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE 6.0') !== FALSE) {
    echo 'IE6 detected!';
}
/*
else {
    echo 'IE6 not detected!';
}
*/
?>

 

Which approach do you reccomend?

Both will work the same way, looking for user-agent, if you want to give alert box in the page, you can go with javascript or if you want to display information in stylish way then go with php way...
