Re: server side user agent detection

check out : http://www.php.net/manual/function.get-browser.php also, i use a file called 'browser.inc' (oh that narrows it down :) and cannot find its origin. while looking found these : Browser Detector : http://px.sklar.com/code-pretty.html?code_id=396 HTTP_USER_AGENT parse : http://px.sklar.com/code-pretty.html?code_id=130 an sure others exist. but, what is wrong with getbrowser() ? i hear browscap.ini must be updated but so what i will update it them! is this not reliable enough to rely on? please someone explain this great mystery :-) or do many use this function, iirc people do not. regards, philip -- be outside the box.
