browser check

[Phate]

I need a php code that will check what browser a user is using. Then, if it is IE, i want it to display text.
Anyone help me out??

How did it you want it to work though cos you can just use.

Code: Select all

<!--[if !IE]> <-->
This content will only display if run in any browser except IE.
<!--> <![endif]-->


Or did you want it to call for another file that contains the content if it was not
IE?

Then if you want to display something in IE only you can use pretty much the same thing.

Code: Select all

<!--[if !IE]>
This content will only display in IE.
<![endif]-->


You can also add the version number to these tags so it will only work in certain versions of IE.

Code: Select all

<!--[if !IE 6]>
This content will only display in IE6.
<![endif]-->

Here's it in PHP:

[php]<?php

if (preg_match('/IE/', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) && (preg_match('/Opera/', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))) {
echo "You are using Opera";
} elseif (preg_match('/IE/', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {
echo "You are using IE";
}

?>[/php]

What I want it to do, is check to see what browser the person is using. If it is not firefox, i want it to say, "This site is best viewed in Mozilla Firefox" (with a link)

I would use Webmasters way then as the way I showed can only recogise IE or not, so you can only show/hide from IE.

Where as using PHP to check, you can check for firefox then show or hide.
