Ban Browser

[DelFDgfd_gT]

Im sessions table in PHPMyAdmin You can view browsers. I wanted to know, How can I can a certain browser from my forums?
Seems small and easy, can anyone help?

Are you sure?

You can add this to the bottom of your "phpinclude" template:

To allow IE only:

PHP Code:

if (!eregi("MSIE",$HTTP_USER_AGENT)) show_nopermission(); 


To allow Netscape only:

PHP Code:

if (!eregi("Netscape",$HTTP_USER_AGENT)) show_nopermission(); 


To allow Mozilla only:

PHP Code:

if (!eregi("Mozilla",$HTTP_USER_AGENT)) show_nopermission();

For shame, using the ereg functions!

Better (according to php.net):

PHP Code:

if (preg_match("/.*MSIE.*/siU", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) show_nopermission(); 


Faster (according to my completely untested theories):

PHP Code:

if (strpos("MSIE", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) != false) show_nopermission();

Actually, I didnt wanna "allow IE only" or "allow mozilla only" thats completely irrelevant to what I asked.

What I want is to BAN a user using the browser:

Internet Explorer V Hohoh , i bet you wish you knew ++++ you though.

Block browsers.

Hi

I am not sure but this is a pseuocode if some one can recheck it will be grateful

PHP Code:

$agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
    if($agent == "AGENT_NAME"){
        header("Location:htt p : //url_to_e-direct_the_user");
        exit();
    } 


change AGENT_NAME to whatever brower you want to ban

for ex : IE = Mozilla/4.0

[NTLDR]

Provided that AGENT_NAME is the full name and not a subsring of it like Mozilla/4.0 then that will work fine.

[Linux]

yes

You must Provided the full name of the AGENT

for example you cannot just add WebCopier

it must be WebCopier v3.5
