MrLeche Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hello, It's been less than an hour now thinking of where to post this topic. To start of with, I only know how to code php. I use a wyswyg to get my html coded (and others). So here's the thing: As Adobe turn greedy now, Adobe Flash doesn't have support for most postable devices that people use as their website browsing material these days. As a website developere's challenge. I wanted to achieve on how to I get value passed from client-side to server side automatically. In specifics to this question, I need to ask you guys if you know a way where the server would know the client's OS and Browser. I saw from another website that it has a widget (of some sort) saying your OS is: and Your browser is:. I tested it using different browsers, and different OS, finally tested mobile devices and play gadgets like nintendo browsers etc. The results using PC is perfect, Mobile Devices have a passing rate, playing devices are poor. Despite that, I wanted to somehow use if($YourOS is 'IOS4') { header("Location: noflash.php" } . This way I can even designate where the viewer accompanied by their browsing devices be thrown at. Note that I only know PHP no javascript knowledge of some sort. Thanks for hearing me out. Even if my question is a silly one because man it really feels like its too complicated for me.

Jonathon Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'm not sure 100% of your problem, are you aware of the $_SERVER array in php which can return the kind of information you said you were after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abigail Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I use this script I found on the internet. You might like to start with this. It's too long to post and not appropriate to post this copied code, I would suppose. You should be able to search for it. I only use it to detect windows from opera and firefox but I would think something similar would work for your others.
