if netscape 4.x....

[gameon]

Hi I usually use cold fusion, but I'm doing a project with php.

I'm not completly lost, but cannot implement my fav functions.

How do you do an:

<if Netscape 4.x>
do this
<else>
do that
</if>

Cheers if you can help me...

Assuming that you are running PHP as a web server module, the data you need can be found in the predefined variable $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ______________________________________________________________________
TANSTAAFL!

Ok, so in my statement I go:

<?php
if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],&quot;Netscape 4&quot){
print &quot;do netscape 4.x stuff&quot;;
}else{
print &quot;do other stuff&quot;;
}?>

But I don't know what string is in $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],&quot; for netscape 4.

How do I output the var '$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']' to have a look?

Cheers

I'm also a PHP neophyte with a history in ColdFusion. I definitely like PHP better, don't you? Try this to detect Netscape 4:

<?php
  $isNav4 = preg_match(&quot;/^Mozilla\/4/&quot;,$GLOBALS[&quot;HTTP_USER_AGENT&quot;]) && !preg_match(&quot;/MSIE/&quot;,$GLOBALS[&quot;HTTP_USER_AGENT&quot;]);
?>

<?php if($isNav4){ ?>
  do one thing
<?php } else { ?>
  do another
<?php } ?>

I so agree, but would like to be flexible. I suppose is because I started with cf.

So that does:

isNav4 is true is Mozilla4 and NOT MSIE is contained within $GLOBALS[&quot;http_USER_AGENT&quot;]

Cool
