Docs For Class GetBrowser

Class GetBrowser

Description

replacement for PHP's get_browser function

This class retrieves information about the user's browser. Using the UA string, this matches it against a list of regexps which identifies the browser and various features of it. The list of browsers comes from http://www.garykeith.com/browsers/downloads.asp, and this uses the csv version. Note that this can (preferably) be replaced with the built-in php function get_browser, and will do exactly that if possible.
