Send out different content depends on User Agent String

[Allerdyce.John]

Hi,

Is there an easy way in PHP which send outs different content depends
on User Agent String value?
If yes, is there an example/documentation?

Thank you.

Im not sure what exactly you want to achieve, but this reserved variable
will contain the useragent string (which can be forged easely)

$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']

It will return something like this:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; da; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111
Firefox/1.5"Use some str function to check for occurences of "mozilla" and
do some conditional code based on result ?A little untested
example:<?php$ouragent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; // could be fitted
into the IF sentence if (substr_count($ouragent,"Mozilla")!=0) {
echo "Mozilla..maybe";}else{ echo "some other stuff"}?>

Yes. There is a superglobal variable $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']
If yes, is there an example/documentation?

Here is the documentation on the subject in its entirety:

'HTTP_USER_AGENT'
Contents of the User-Agent: header from the current request,
if there is one. This is a string denoting the user agent being
which is accessing the page. A typical example is: Mozilla/4.5
[en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.9 i586). Among other things, you can
use this value with get_browser() to tailor your page's output
to the capabilities of the user agent.

Be aware that the user agent string can be changed, and therefor isn't as
accurate as detecting the browser using javascript (but, on the other hand,
is completely transparent)
Thank you.
