Probably easier to look at $HTTP_USER_AGENT variable and ereg_match() to determine what browser it is -- Depending on just how fine-tuned you need to check. Check the output from <?php phpinfo();?> using a couple browsers. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is not working -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?
