Something quite easy (if you know how to.. which officialy I don't!!)

I'm looking at isolating the browser name from the HTTP_USER_AGENT ..
Anyone know how to do this?

I'm looking for something like:
$Sname=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
if (stringsearch($Sname)="FireFox") {firefox=1;}
if (stringsearch($Sname)="Netscape") {Netscape=1;}
if (stringsearch($Sname)="MSIE") {MS=1;}

Thanks

You need use strpos()
See a similar complete example http://www.mediasworks.com/scripts/

thats looking good - thks :)

A quicky .. I think there's a bug in PHP using strpos() - if anyone wants to check it and post it to Mr PHP

if your string="BlackBerry3270/5.3.1" and you do:
if(strpos(string, "BlackBerry") == true) { echo "Blackberry web browser detected"; }
That doesn't work.. However if you do:
if(strpos(string, "lackBerry") == true) { echo "Blackberry web browser detected"; }
That work fine.. so officialy strpos() isn't checking the 1st caracter...

True.

echo strpos($string, "BlackBerry"); // displays '0'
echo strpos($string, "BBlackBerry"); // displays 'nothing', NULL?

I tried to comapre it with 'NULL', still, it not yields!!

so,
is fine as strpos() returns string position in integer, and NULL? when it not finds..

Alternatively, you may use preg_match() or preg_match_all() functions for absolute-n-powerful matching; these are PHP functions supporting PCRE. It'll take you a while to learn regex ( if you don't know ), but it's a worthy stuff, to invest time.

I just changed $String=" ".$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
I'm not for complication ;)
