Re: Is there a way to determine wich browser a visitor uses in php?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] contains whatever the browser passes to the
server to identify itself, which may be faked by certain browsers at the
discretion of the user.

The two user agents you provide as an example are both extremely common.

Cheers,
