Hi,

I am in a big need of grabbing visitor's operating system info. Actually, all I need is to know what Operating System the visitor in currently running on and perhaps the version? (XP, Vista, ME, 98, etc in Windowses and version number in Linux distros)

You can't reliably get it get hold of it as it depends on the client sending it to you. However, you can usually find something usefull in $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
