I do agree 100% with Gary about the readability however, there are realistic reasons to desire the user’s browser and browser version and if your visitor is not echoing a false user agent we can take an educated guess. Searching for a way to do this at the PHP layer and not at the client layer was more of a challenge than I would have guessed the only script available was written by Gary White and Gary no longer maintains this script because of reliability. Because we all know how great IE6 supports PNG files it was necessary for us to tell our users the lack of power their browser has in a kind way. In an active project of mine we have a pretty graphically intensive and visually appealing user interface which leverages a lot of transparent PNG files. Not a great idea on a large scale public site but on a private application this type of check can be helpful.
