For this you can use the get_browser() function of PHP, which returns a
plethora of information as an array. If this function doesn't work (it
didn't for me because of hosting restrictions) then someone called sam
on the php.net manual page has written a function called
php_get_browser() which does the same thing. Just make sure you download
an up-to-date browscap.ini file and you'll have all the information you
want.
