are there any php methods that can accurately determine who the client is? mine is pretty basic...if I am a browser, then deny access
What you want is not possible. I guarantee you that I can make it so that you can't tell whether a particular request I send is coming from Firefox or just me copy/pasting an identical request into a raw telnet connection.
Why is it important for you to deny access to certain user agents? I don't quite understand your problem. In fact, I find it annoying when a web application forces me to spoof my user agent just to use it.
