Re: Re: Having trouble using get_browser() function

I downloaded a browscap.ini file from browserhawk or something recently that php choked on because of an error on the last line. I deleted the line and it worked fine. If you're using the apache module you can go: 'apachectl configtest' and if there's a problem with the file it will let you know.
