#28545 [Com]: get_browser detecting spambot

ID: 28545 Comment by: php_bugs at garykeith dot com Reported By: gerwout at eigenwijze dot nl Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: all PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment: Thank you for a good suggestion. I already have such a thing in my browscap.ini file. Spammy or abusive user agents get put into the "Website Strippers" category. It's the single biggest category in my browscap.ini file. ~gary.

See http://www.garykeith.com/ J ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-27 19:46:28] gerwout at eigenwijze dot nl Description: ------------ Maybe this isn't a PHP feature request, but more a browscap related featurerequest, but the manual refers to a special php browscap.ini file, so it could be added. Currently the get_browser function returns an object which contains crawler, very handy, because we can easily detect searchengines now :-) In my opinion the returned object should also contain the variable spambot. Now we can detect a spambot on a simulair way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28545&edit=1
