Browser Info.

[pranshu82202]

Is their any method by which i can get browser info of the client side...

 

I used

 

 $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']

 

but it gives

 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/12.0.742.112 Safari/534.30  - WHEN I USED CHROME

 

and

 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1 - When i used firefox.....

 

(I just need the browser's name then why its attaching a big string  "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101"  with every name)

you have all of the info you need there, just extract the browser name from the string. Becareful however as chrome uses the same webkit as safari. Here is some old code of mine i managed to dig out. Im sure you could put it into a function of some sort:

 

if (strstr($agent,"Firefox/3")) {$br = "Firefox 3";}
  if (strstr($agent,"Firefox/2")) {$br = "Firefox 2";}
  if (strstr($agent,"Firefox/1")) {$br = "Firefox 1";}
  if (strstr($agent,"Phoenix/")) {$br = "Phoenix (Mozilla lite)";}
  
  if (strstr($agent,"MSIE 5")) {$br = "IE 5";}
  if (strstr($agent,"MSIE 6")) {$br = "IE 6";}
  if (strstr($agent,"MSIE 7")) {$br = "IE 7";}
  if (strstr($agent,"MSIE 8")) {$br = "IE 8";}
  
  if (strstr($agent,"Netscape6/6")) {$br = "Netscape 6";}
  if (strstr($agent,"Opera")) {$br = "Opera";}
  if (strstr($agent,"Opera") and strstr($agent,"Version/10")) {$br = "Opera 10";}
  if (strstr($agent,"Opera") and strstr($agent,"Version/9")) {$br = "Opera 9";}
  if (strstr($agent,"Chrome")) {$br = "Chrome";}
  if (strstr($agent,"Chrome") and strstr($agent,"Chrome/5")) {$br = "Chrome 5";}
  if (strstr($agent,"Safari/")) {$br = "Safari";}
  if (strstr($agent,"Safari/") and strstr($agent,"Version/5")) {$br = "Safari 5";}
  if (strstr($agent,"Safari/") and strstr($agent,"Version/4")) {$br = "Safari 4";}
  if (strstr($agent,"Safari/") and strstr($agent,"Version/3")) {$br = "Safari 3";}
  if (strstr($agent,"SeaMonkey/") and strstr($agent,"Gecko")) {$br = "SeaMonkey";}

 

i wouldnt reccoment using this code as is though. its from about a year ago when i was less experienced
