Nope, 'cause there isn't a well defined way to format the text string. And
the browsers all pretend to be each other. IE tells you it's Mozilla, Opera
tells you it's IE, etc. And on top of that, the OS name is screwed. Win2K is
listed as NT 5.0 while XP is NT 5.1.
The only reliable way to detect the browser type is to compare the signature
to a database of known browsers, which is what get_browser() does.
Given that few of us has the resource to support every browser under the
sun, it's probably more practical to check for specific browser. If see if
the client is IE, do strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_AGENT'], "MSIE"). To see if it's
Netscape 6 or above or something like it, look for "Gecko".
