>>I checked $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] function with my opera and my browser showed:
>>"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98) Opera 7.11 [en]". I'm intrested what
>>means "MSIE 6.0'" in this case? after all-i browsed with my opera, not IE! And in
>>example 2.2 my opera showed that i'm using IE 6.0 though i didn't. Can anyone tel me why?
Certain Microsoft sites and some others discriminate against Opera in favour of Internet Explorer
(see the opera.com website for more details and the tests that they did to prove this), so they
include MSIE, so that when checking for user agent strings, content is served as if it were IE.
