Another browser question

Barrucadu · 09-02-2005, 01:39 AM

How do I get the users browser and store it in a variable, at the moment I use the HTTP_USER_AGENT command, but that outputs:

Code:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

and I just want to know the browser, is there anyway to get the browser out of the user agent string? because ife put a little script, when someone visits my sites index page it adds them to a database, but I want it to add the browser, not the whole user_agent string, is there anyway I can do this?

Code:

if((ereg("Nav", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (ereg("Gold", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (ereg("X11", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (ereg("Mozilla", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (ereg("Netscape", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) AND (!ereg("MSIE", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT")) AND (!ereg("Konqueror", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))))) $browser = "Netscape";
elseif(ereg("MSIE", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) $browser = "MSIE";
elseif(ereg("Lynx", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) $browser = "Lynx";
elseif(ereg("Opera", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) $browser = "Opera";
elseif(ereg("WebTV", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) $browser = "WebTV";
elseif(ereg("Konqueror", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) $browser = "Konqueror";
elseif((eregi("bot", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (ereg("Google", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (ereg("Slurp", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (ereg("Scooter", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (eregi("Spider", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (eregi("Infoseek", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT")))) $browser = "Bot";
else $browser = "Other";

Sets $browser to the user's browser.
