New Comment:
er, umm, did I make a bad assumption here??
I am assuming that the browscap.ini is installed by php??
But I just noticed that it is actually in the inetsrv folder.
Platform = Win98 with PWS, this is my first time installing php, so
please send your flames to dev/null
Thanks,

These appear to be the correct values for IE 6.0 created by a simple
hack of the IE5.0 info

Description:
------------
The browscap.ini file is out of date. The highest Microsoft browser
version supported is IE5.0
When it encounters IE6.0 and above it returns erronous info. Calims
it's a netsacpe 4.0 browser that does not support vbscript.
IE 6 has been available for over 1 year. this would imply that other
browsers are also out of date.
This may cause existing code to break.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . "<hr />\n";
$browser = get_browser();
foreach ($browser as $name => $value) {
echo "<b>$name</b> $value <br />\n";
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
correct info for IE 6.0
should be the same as for IE 5.0
Actual result:
--------------
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98)
--------------
browser_name_regex Mozilla/4\.0.*
browser_name_pattern Mozilla/4.0*
parent Netscape 4.00
