How can I grabb the browser name Opera and the version number from a string, when it's very important that I get the whole version number. For example:
Windows XP) Opera 6.05 [en]
or
MSIE 6.0; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.1) Opera 7.0 [en]
Can anyone show me the best way to place Opera and the whole version (i.e., "Opera 6.05" or any other version number) in a string variable. I thought maybe a regex would work, but as a newbe I'm just spinning my wheels. Thanks.
While I saw that you got the answer you needed, no one interjected that this may not be the wisest thing to do as the browser's identification string is easily changed/spoofed/non-standard. And there is no good way to detect all browsers, as many spiders use their own variant. In general if your site is designed such that you need this information then you should revisit your design/code, if you are just doing stat tracking, etc. make sure to indicate that there is at least some margin of error. I know for one of the browsers and I thought it was Opera that it was even in the preferences how to change the string....
