I'm so excited to actually be able to answer a question! I'm always the one asking questions around here and it feels nice to be able to help somebody else. Anyway, here's the script I use to do exactly what you're asking for (even though it seems you may not need it anymore).

<?php
//DETECT BROWSER
{ global $HTTP_USER_AGENT;
if(strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT, \"MSIE 6\")) {
  $browser = \"Microsoft Internet Explorer 6\";} // MSIE6
else if(strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT, \"MSIE 5\")){
  $browser = \"Microsoft Internet Explorer 5\";} // MSIE5
else if(strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT, \"MSIE 4\")){
  $browser = \"Microsoft Internet Explorer 4\";} // MSIE4
else if(strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT, \"Netscape6\")){
  $browser = \"Netscape Navigator 6\";} // NS6
else if(strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT, \"Mozilla/4\")){
  $browser = \"Netscape Navigator 4\";} // NS4
else if(strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT, \"Mozilla/5\")){
  $browser = \"Mozilla\";} // Mozilla
else if(strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT, \"Opera/6\")){
  $browser = \"Opera\";} // Opera
else {
  $browser = \"an unknown browser\";} // Unknown
};

print \"You're Using \".$browser.\".\n\";
?>

Sorry. All you do is copy paste that code into your php document. Then use if/else statements to redirect the url:

<?php
if($browser==\"msie\") { 
   $url = \"ie_page.php\"; // Internet explorer
{ elseif($browser==\"ns\") {
   $url = \"ns_page.php\"; // Netscape
} else {
   $url = \"other_page.php\"; // Everything else
}
header('Location:' . $url);
?>

You can also check it by using the (integer) variable called $version to redirect using the version or use $os to redirect according to the operating system.

P.S. This way is not fooled by Opera browser spoofing so if you want to detect opera simply use $browser == "opera"

just make sure Opera isnt set as IE (f12 at bottom - set as opera)

Khanny — Sun, 16 Feb 2003 05:20:12 +0000

Khanny — Sun, 16 Feb 2003 05:13:04 +0000

What you *really* need to do is re-evaluate whether you really need to redirect to various browsers.
