Redirect for IE brosers

[MadnessRed]

OK, my problem is that my site works fine under Firefox but if I try and view it under internet explorer it just goes weird..

 

I was a redirect that will redirect any Internet Explorer browsers to a more simple site. Is this possible?

What goes weird about the site?  If it's differences in CSS, you can try something like this.

 

$ie = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE");
$firefox = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "Firefox");
$opera = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "Opera");


if ($ie != FALSE){
echo "<link rel='stylesheet' media='all' type='text/css' href='../includes/iestyles.css'>";
}
elseif ($firefox != FALSE){
echo "<link rel='stylesheet' media='all' type='text/css' href='../includes/firefoxstyles.css'>";
}
else{
echo "<link rel='stylesheet' media='all' type='text/css' href='../includes/iestyles.css'>";
}

 

That way you could just change the stylesheets if you don't feel like using CSS hacks for IE/etc.

 

However you can modify that same code to do a redirect using Header: if you're really dead set on coding another site for IE.

its no problem making a new site because all the text content is saved and I can just do an include file and change the headers.

 

also with your cod, if someone came to my site with opera say would they use the IE version of the firefox version?

In it's current form it's set up if neither IE or FF are detected, it defaults to the IE stylesheet (or in your case, you can edit it for an IE redirect)

 

If you are having that big of a problem with the site displaying correctly in IE - feel free to email me your source.  I work with CSS more than anything at my job, would be more than happy to help you try and find a simpler solution.
