I can't get visitors browser

PHP
1

Hello,
I use wamp as localhost.
I have Chrome , firefox. OPera and internet explorer installed on my PC

I found code examples for detecting visitor browser

Here are 2 options:

//  Get user OS and browser

////     1     //////

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . "\n\n";

$browser = get_browser();
print_r($browser);
//   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgJ8jHARmCk
/////     2    / ////
$u_agrent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$ub = "";

if(preg_match('/MSIE/i', $u_agrent)){
    $ub = "explorer";
} elseif(preg_match('/firefox/i', $u_agrent)){
    $ub = "firefox";
} elseif(preg_match('/safari/i', $u_agrent)){
    $ub = "safari";
} elseif(preg_match('/Chrome/i', $u_agrent)){
    $ub = "Chrome";
} elseif(preg_match('/flock/i', $u_agrent)){
    $ub = "";
} elseif(preg_match('/opera/i', $u_agrent)){
    $ub = "opera";
} else {
    $ub = "OTHER / UNKNOWN";
}

echo "<br>your browser :".$ub;

When I ron the code the output says that I use safari

How can that be ? I never had it on my PC

P.S. my default browser is Opera how do I change default browser ?

Go to the browser you want to use, open “preferences” and there will be a check-box to set it as the default browser.

That’s because most Chrome-based user agents contain the string “Safari”.

Opera seems to contain the string “OPR” rather than “Opera” these days.
