Get User Browser for if statement

[denoteone]

I am using a nivo slider that doesn't work in IE 6. I am trying to think of the best way to verify the users browser and if it is IE 6 show a static image anything else show slider. Is PHP the best way to accomplish this?

PHP will prob be the most reliable method as not everyone has javascript enabled...

 

You could do something like this.. Havent tested this as I refuse to run anything on a PC... Sorry!

<?php 
$useragent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$ie6 = "MSIE 6.";
$is_ie6 = strpos($useragent,$ie6);

if($is_ie6 == 'true'){

echo "Ooops, your feel into a time machine and are running IE6!";

}
