[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #8419 Updated: get_browser() returns false From: chris-php-bugs <email protected>
Date: 12/28/00

ID: 8419
User Update by: chris-php-bugs <email protected>
Old-Status: Feedback
Status: Open
Bug Type: *Function Specific
Description: get_browser() returns false

As mentioned in the original report,
browscap.ini exists and the browscap entry
in php.ini is pointing to it. A simple test
script (e.g. "echo
count(file(ini_get('browscap')))") had no
problems loading the file.

And you have got the browscap.ini file ? And you have the browscap directive
in you php.ini file? Please check this page for more info:

register_globals is on.

$HTTP_USER_AGENT is set to a valid user
agent for the browser used (tested with
Lynx & Netscape) and was definitely being
read by get_browser() - it returns an error
if it isn't set.

Additionally, I called get_browser() with
several other user agent strings as the
optional parameter. The results were
identical.

What does phpinfo() have in the Apache environment
section for HTTP_USER_AGENT ??
And is register_globals = on in your php.ini?

$ua = get_browser();
print_r($ua);

There are no error messages that I've been able to find - nothing in the php error log or the apache log. I've tested with a number of user-agent values and it has returned false in every case. (It is checking $HTTP_USER_AGENT, though - unset($HTTP_USER_AGENT) will cause an error indicating that it couldn't find the variable)

I've verified that it is picking up the correct file and that the file is readable by the apache process (at least using the php file functions).
