I've done a google and can't find anything on this.
I want to parse a long list of useragent strings for a web analysis script I am writing. I could use get_browser, but firstly this would slow down my script quite a bit and secondly I am relying on the browscap.ini file of the newness of which is upto my ISP as I am on shared hosting. Is there are a way of doing this?
I'd like to break down the string into it's componant parts but the difference in strings is big. eg-
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; stumbleupon.com 1.927)
Windows-Media-Player/10.00.00.3650
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

How do I start with this one?
Depending on your license, take a look at the code for webalyzer or awstats or some other package and see how they do it.
