Re: $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] in html email

What would be the standard/accepted way to do this? is it better to spell it out in the html email ? Download: Mac PC Linux ? many thanks :) On Jan 18, 2005, at 4:06 PM, php-list-replies@listmail.innovate.net wrote:

php is server-side, so no. you might be able to do what you're after with javascript, but any sensible person has that turned off in general, and especially for html e-mail. [remember, there are more operating systems/platforms than pc and mac (with OS variations within those), so defaulting to "download" if it's not mac would not be a nice thing to do. the download should be on the positive match, not the fall-through.] ---------- Original Message ----------
