Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The browscap.ini sometimes contains not valid entries not supported by
PHP's ini parser. Simply remove those lines, there are usually very few
of those.

Hello Bug Report reader.

<?php
 function list_array ($array) {
     while (list ($key, $value) = each ($array)) {
     $str .= "<b>$key:</b> $value<br>\n";
     }
     return $str;
 }
 echo "$HTTP_USER_AGENT<hr>\n";
 $browser = get_browser();
 echo list_array ((array) $browser);
?>

The browser information will be output together with the following
message appended:
PHP: Error parsing [drive]:\[path]\browscap.ini on line 8206 

browscap.ini at line position 8206 reads:
browser=AE/2.1(Linux)

Changing "AE/2.1(Linux)" to "AE/2.1 Linux" solves the parsing error.
The parsing procedure seems to "dislike" brackets [(,)].

This problem is quite old, but still persists with PHP 4.2.3.

Suggestion: Update browscap.ini for PHP distributions accordingly.

Kind regards
Juri
