I'll give you guys a special sneak preview of this tutorial... a good ten minutes before it comes out on my website... enjoy.
Internet Explorer Sucks Description Its time to send those pesky Internet Explorer users a message. Learn how with my brand new "IE Sucks" PHP Code. (Only $29.99, but wait there's more!) Try It Out Alright, in order to give those IE users what they deserve we will be using the good ol' HTTP_USER_AGENT command. This command grabs the users browser name, etc. Its also useful for all kinds of other things such as stalking somebody.... *cough* CODE <?php $browser = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; ?> Alright, good job, young php-learner. As you can probably guess, this does pretty much nothing. So far all we have done is create the $browser variable and given it a value. Next we'll create the message for those IE users. CODE <?php $browser = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; if(strstr($browser, "MSIE")) { $message = "You *_edit_*, you're using Internet Explorer. Get something else now!"; } else { $message = "You are not using Internet Explorer. Good."; } echo $message; ?> Ok, so basically, if the value of the $browser variable (which contains the HTTP_USER_AGENT command) has the phrase MSIE (Microsoft Internet Explorer) somewhere in it, the page calls the viewer a douchebag... And if they are not using MSIE, then it pats them on the back. Of course you can always modify this code to say "Good job" to MSIE users, etc. Or insult users of different browsers... in general, this is a very fun code to play around with and I hope you enjoy it. |

First of all that code is not intended in such way that is I think that you are misusing the code provided
 why? because this code is in face intended to help developers because different browsers have different ways of showing very different things and if you are clever enough to use some programs like dreamwaver then you may find that it has compatibility check this is one of its integrated options and this will help you because then you can adjust your code to return correct encoding for the computer that is using your site.Also remember that the thing that is very important is that internet explorer is still the most used browser today and something else internet explorers things that infacted me and most of the users the most are in fact its integration with the micrsoft operating system windows and as internet explorer was integrated into the kernel in windows xp this produced many problem and security issues however now things should have changed since it is no longer integrated in the kernel of operating system making it more reliable and a lot more secure. And one more final thing I use mozilla firefox because it is a lot betteer and more usuful then internet explorer or any other browser nto because other browsers "suck". Regards |

I use ie at work and it sucks. I love firefox. My ie crashes far too often. Especially now that I have ie 7 with vista.

Although I agree IE is not good, and that the tutorial title is misleading... please try to keep comments relative to the tutorial... not your comments on IE... please.

 .But yes, very good. Could you expand on this? Add ways to change the entire content of the website? |

Well I suppose that instead of hate-messages, have different layout codes etc. to suit different browsers.... I'll write that up later... unless someone else does.

You can even use Javascript just like this one:
CODE <script type="text/javascript"> var browser = navigator.appName var type = "Microsoft Internet Explorer" if ( browser == type) { alert('You are using Internet Explorer!!'); alert('Just click OK to download Firefox LOL!!'); document.location = "http://www.mozilla.com"; } </script> Hehe.. Just sharing..
