Using $http_user_agent in a conditional statement depending upon what client is being used, what are the possible values I should use? For example:Are those the appropriate values for the user clients; should they be something else? Thanks.PHP Code:<?php
if ($http_user_agent == "Internet Explorer" or "Netscape 6" or "Opera 5")
{
echo("do this");
exit();
}
else
{
echo("do this");
exit();
}
?>

got a question, does an if (...) work like that or should it be:
?? i don't know, just wondering.PHP Code:if ($HTTP_USER_AGENT == "Internet Explorer" || $HTTP_USER_AGENT == "Netscape 6" $HTTP_USER_AGENT == "Opera 5")
but no, those user agent string aren't anything like the actual values. for example this is mine in IE 6:
so you'll have to use more of a regular expression to find out the browser.Code:Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)

Hello,
I think it depends on what application you creat. Here is an example at phpbuilder
here:http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/ti...21.php3?page=2
Dr: I've noticed that when i use just an or without the variable, it doesn't work.
That what i used and it works great.PHP Code:
<?
if ((!strstr(getenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT'), 'MSIE' OR 'Gecko'))) {
//For IE and NS 6
} elseif ((strstr (getenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT'), 'Opera'))) {
//For Opera
} else {
//For NS 5 and under
}
?>

Thank you. I'll give all of those a try.

The whole strstr(getenv... etc doesn't like me.
What is wrong with this? Opera and IE seem to work fine, but Netscape6/Mozilla keep including the content from the first if statement instead of the following elseif.PHP Code:<?php
if ($HTTP_USER_AGENT == "MSIE" or "Opera")
{
echo("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\" ?>\n" .
"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/transitional.dtd\">\n");
}
elseif ($HTTP_USER_AGENT == "Gecko" or "Netscape6/6")
{
echo("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\" ?>");
}
else
{
include("nostyle.php");
exit();
}
?>

Try
if (($HTTP_USER_AGENT == "MSIE") or
($HTTP_USER_AGENT == "Opera"))
($HTTP_USER_AGENT == "MSIE") can be true or false, but
(or "Opera") is true all the time. So
F or T is T
T or T is T
Therefore the first if statement is true all the time.
Anyone, correct me if I'm wrong
Okay -- so I simply need to separate those? I'll give that a go.
