Showing browser and OS details

Hi folks,

I have a vBulletin forum and I want to display the browser and operating system in a widget at the side. This would only be displayed to the person viewing the forum, each member would see their own config.

Does anyone know how I can achieve this please?

Thanks!

 

You can use the $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] variable in PHP to get the info.

apptools.com/phptools/browser/source.php
(sorry, can't post links yet)

See that website if you want to see a good example. You can see, actually getting the browser info is easy, formatting it in a meaningful way is tedious.

 

<?php

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

?>

PHP:

or

<?php

if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== FALSE) {
    echo 'Gutted - you use Internet Explorer.';
}

?>

PHP:

for if you want to whack it into a user-friendly version...

Obviously you can have a play around with defining multiple browsers on the second one..

 

Thanks guys, this worked great!

 

you can make this only with simple JavaScript code, can query Google for this, or you can use these scripts:
- Browser Information script
- Browser Information

 

There should be no "gutted" - there are only 2 types of match operator : != and == .. what !== means ?
