Re: Just to confirm...

I wish I could block IE users. They almost are more trouble than they are worth. Luckily only about 20% of my users still use IE6. :p

<?

    if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"msie")) {
        die("No friend of Internet Exploder is a friend of mine.");
    }

?>

Lol!!! I need to implement that on ALL my sites ... XD!! Xavier de Lapeyre -----Original Message----- From: Richard Heyes [mailto:richardh@phpguru.org] Sent: jeudi 20 décembre 2007 14:26 To: Daniel Brown Cc: Stut; ceo@l-i-e.com; Zoltán Németh; PHP General List Subject: Re: [PHP] Just to confirm...

    Bah!  You're right, I changed it to just be an easter egg in the

code. The original (now commented out) was: <?

    if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"msie")) {
        die("No friend of Internet Exploder is a friend of mine.");
    }

?>

    It initially started to try to stop cURL, wget, Lynx, and other

automated clients from grabbing the content from the page. Again, I know that headers can be spoofed, but that's a different topic. I try to make a joke and Stut shoots me in the ass. ;-P

I've got to ask, why on earth would you want to do this? Robots and things like wget I could understand more, but purposefully cutting out a large chunk of your audience?
