In php there are lot of inbuilt function you can use one of them to check browser. HTTP_USER_AGENT gives a value of all browser info. You can use it with php preg_match function. This example for only beginners to understand basic php functionality. Below is the running example to check browser type.
<?php
$browser = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
//echo $browser."<br />";
if (preg_match("/Opera/i", "$browser")) {
echo "You are using Opera. <br />";
}
else if (preg_match("/MSIE/i","$browser")) {
echo "You are using Microsoft Internet Explorer. <br />";
}
else if (preg_match("/Firebird/i","$browser")) {
echo "You are using Mozilla FireBird. <br />";
}
else if (preg_match("/Netscape/i","$browser")) {
echo "You are using Netscape. <br />";
}
else if (preg_match("/Chrome/i","$browser")) {
echo "You are using Chrome.";
}
else if (preg_match("/Mozilla/i","$browser")) {
echo "You are using Mozilla.";
}
?>
$browser variable gives you all possible values and you can use it smartly. It’s very basic more you can do with php inbuilt functions.
