How the phpbb3 detect the browser in viewonline.php I was finding it in code but no success.. Should i use the http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html ? or have i better possibility?

[Obsidian]

Use a PHP backend to detect the browser, and then just the templates to display the message. Don't use javascript, some people surf with it disabled.

[Kamahl]

but people using phpbb3 needs JS.

hmm but i think php would be better, i dont know JS i will fine some script to detect browser, or if you know some good, please post it here thx

edit : i will use this http://apptools.com/phptools/browser/source.php if you have better, please write me

[Mr. Bond]

I wouldn't suggest using that script because it uses the ereg extension, which is deprecated in PHP 5.3.0.

$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] will contain the browser being used. The best way to determine which browser it is to use strpos() to check for msie, mozilla etc. (eg: strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'msie')).

[Kamahl]

what about to use preg_match() ? instead of ereg

[Kamahl]

New version released

[Obsidian]

what about to use preg_match() ? instead of ereg

That's better, as ereg is depreciated and preg is not.

[Kamahl]

I have one question ... when i add the options to ACP like in this MOD, should i add an SQL command to create configs? or i can just add options to ACP and by first submiting of it in ACP, all line in config table will be created automaticly ... i do it by second way, but i dont know if it is right ... if not, i will provide the SQL commands too

[Obsidian]

Use a separate installation script, actually. That's the best way.

[Kamahl]

too complicated for "nothing" like warning about browser .. i know that is the best way ... but is it possible to do my way?
