everything I've read on headers so far has showed you how to send headers, ie.

Code: Select all

header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
how would you check what the content type, browser type, etc is?

Thanks in advance for help..

If I understood correctly;

For the types, this might be interesting.
http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.mi ... t-type.php

Combine that with http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.get-browser.php to fit your needs.

that tutorial is like the other ones i've been looking at; it shows the proper way to send header information
the basic jist of the whole tutorial was to either not include white space before using headers, or use ob_flush.

I'm looking for something on actually receiving and interpreting headers.


and Jam, thats sort of what I want, but i'm looking for the browser version (and I would use javascript, but you can't use JS in AIM windows :P )


thanks

Of course, no.
If you stated that in the question, we could respond accordingly also. ;)

No offence taken anyways. I'm used to that we think differently...

However, the get_browser() function sounds like it will give you information about the brower version.

Code: Select all

...
<b>majorver:</b> 4<br />
<b>minorver:</b> 5<br />
<b>browser:</b> Netscape<br />
<b>version:</b> 4<br />
...
Wouldn't that work for your piece of project?
