[thelist] PHP Equivalent

[Burhan Khalid]

Hello Folks :

	Is there a PHP equivalent for navigator object? I tried the
$HTTP_USER_AGENT, but deciphering the information from that is getting to
be a headache. Also, I have a javascript snippet that does browser
detection for me (can't remember where I got it from). Is there a way to
access the variables in JavaScript using PHP? If not, then I'll have to go
about translating javascript code to PHP :(

Regards,

BTW, here is the JavaScript snippet (anyone recognize this?) :

function lib_bwcheck(){ //Browsercheck (needed)

	this.ver=navigator.appVersion
	this.agent=navigator.userAgent
	this.dom=document.getElementById?1:0
	this.opera5=(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera")>-1 &&
document.getElementById)?1:0
	this.ie5=(this.ver.indexOf("MSIE 5")>-1 && this.dom && !this.opera5)?1:0;
	this.ie6=(this.ver.indexOf("MSIE 6")>-1 && this.dom && !this.opera5)?1:0;
	this.ie4=(document.all && !this.dom && !this.opera5)?1:0;
	this.ie=this.ie4||this.ie5||this.ie6
	this.mac=this.agent.indexOf("Mac")>-1
	this.ns6=(this.dom && parseInt(this.ver) >= 5) ?1:0;
	this.ns4=(document.layers && !this.dom)?1:0;
	this.bw=(this.ie6 || this.ie5 || this.ie4 || this.ns4 || this.ns6 ||
this.opera5)

	return this
}
var bw=lib_bwcheck()
