PHP 4.0 Bug #8419 Updated: get_browser() returns false

ID: 8419 Updated by: sniper Reported By: chris-php-bugs@improbable.org Old-Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: *Function Specific Assigned To: Comments: And you have got the browscap.ini file ? And you have the browscap directive in you php.ini file? Please check this page for more info: http://www.php.net/manual/function.get-browser.php --Jani Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-28 13:11:07] chris-php-bugs@improbable.org register_globals is on. $HTTP_USER_AGENT is set to a valid user agent for the browser used (tested with Lynx & Netscape) and was definitely being read by get_browser() - it returns an error if it isn't set. Additionally, I called get_browser() with several other user agent strings as the optional parameter. The results were identical. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-28 08:55:35] sniper@php.net What does phpinfo() have in the Apache environment section for HTTP_USER_AGENT ?? And is register_globals = on in your php.ini? --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-26 02:35:39] chris-php-bugs@improbable.org $ua = get_browser(); print_r($ua); There are no error messages that I've been able to find - nothing in the php error log or the apache log. I've tested with a number of user-agent values and it has returned false in every case. (It is checking $HTTP_USER_AGENT, though - unset($HTTP_USER_AGENT) will cause an error indicating that it couldn't find the variable) I've verified that it is picking up the correct file and that the file is readable by the apache process (at least using the php file functions). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8419
