Is there any way to check for the flash plugin with php.

On thing that is very important is for me to find out the verion, as I need users to have version 7 to view the site.

If knowone can think of a php way to do this, I *do* know how to do it with javascrpt, *but* I would need to pass variables from JavaScript to PHP. Is there a way to do this / does anyone know how?

Thanks!

php cannot access the plugin information of a visitor directly, the data must be passed by the browser.. Javascript would be the way to check.. Course, if you use the right settings in your <object>/<embed> it shouldn't matter all that much, as they should be prompted to update, if they don't have it.
