ccBrowserInfo

A PHP Class for Detecting Client Agent Information by Chip Chapin

ccBrowserInfo is a simple PHP class for browser (user agent) detection. It provides sufficient browser differentiation to handle most common coding problems.

A more elaborate solution is to use phpSniff (http://phpsniff.sourceforge.net/). phpSniff is much more rigorous in discerning user agent distinctions, offers more functions, and has a considerable amount of field usage. But it is too elaborate for my taste or needs. The phpSniff home page itself is a demonstration of phpSniff, and offers a wealth of useful information.

ccBrowserInfo is directly inspired by browser.php from the SourceForge 2.5 distribution. Other influences are sniffer.js from Netscape, as distributed with HTML_TreeMenu (http://phpguru.org/treemenu.php), and phpSniff.

The first version of ccBrowserInfo was created 2002-01-01, by Chip Chapin.
