Re: catch the client OS user logon from php script

This is funny -- I see $_SERVER["HTTP_UA_OS"] in the output of phpinfo(), and naturally assumed it was part of the $_SERVER superglobal array. This definitely isn't the first time I've seen a discrepancy between what phpinfo() shows in terms of server/apache/environment variables, and what you can actually USE in a script. I mentioned it in the first place because I didn't see $_ENV["OS"] in phpinfo() output, or in the manual. I'd love to be able to use phpinfo() as the guide ... But it usually takes more experimenting than that. I suppose this is one of those times! : ) -Clay > From: "Brian McGarvie" <bmcgarvie@lennox-mckinlay.co.uk> > Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 10:29:25 +0100 > To: "Clay Loveless" <clay@killersoft.com>, "PHP-General" > <php-general@lists.php.net> > Subject: RE: [PHP] catch the client OS user logon from php script > > does... $_SERVER["HTTP_UA_OS"] exist? > > I can't see that ne where and when I try to use it t's blank... > > Also...
