I wish I could block IE users. They almost are more trouble than they
are worth. Luckily only about 20% of my users still use IE6. :p
<?
if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"msie")) {
die("No friend of Internet Exploder is a friend of mine.");
}
?>
Lol!!! I need to implement that on ALL my sites ... XD!!

Bah! You're right, I changed it to just be an easter egg in the
code. The original (now commented out) was:
<?
if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"msie")) {
die("No friend of Internet Exploder is a friend of mine.");
}
?>
It initially started to try to stop cURL, wget, Lynx, and other
automated clients from grabbing the content from the page. Again, I
know that headers can be spoofed, but that's a different topic. I try
to make a joke and Stut shoots me in the ass. ;-P
I've got to ask, why on earth would you want to do this? Robots and
things like wget I could understand more, but purposefully cutting out a
large chunk of your audience?
