How To Detect Browser Type With Php

[Zool]

I am looking for code in php to detect browser. The main purpose of this code is to find the browser type used by the visitors when they visit website. Is that possible in php?

Detecting the user’s browser type and version is helpful in web applications which give the idea to developer for new concepts. Some browsers allow the user to alter the way the browser identifies itself, or to not identify itself at all. With the browser type and version you can notify users about challenges they may experience and suggest they upgrade before using such application.Some firewalls block the sending of the browser identification, so no browser detection scheme is entirely successful.

you could also use something like this:

<pre><?php 
echo ( browser_detection( 'number' ) .'<br>'. 
bro_det( 'bro' ) .'<br>'. 
bro_det( 'os' ) .'<br>'. 
bro_det( 'os_num' ) ); 
?> 

outputs (browser version, browser, os, os number): 
y.4 
moz 
nt 
4.y ( ( browser_detection( 'bro' ) == 'ie' ) 
&& 
( browser_detection( 'num' ) >= 4 ) ) 
{ 
echo 'it is Mozilla firefox ' . 
browser_detection( 'num' ); 
} 
?> 
</pre>

<?php
$br = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']); 
if(ereg("msie", $br)) {
header("location: origpage.php");
} else {
header("location: alterpage.php");
}
?>
