Limit the Length of the mysql field for browser to 15 characters bro...

Or try this,

$browser  = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

$browser = substr($browser, 0, 15);  // will return the first 15 characters from the browser

// then do your stuff here

Where you show the browser name...........But Limiting it with that way might end up with a ugly result like half of the words etc..rather it is good if u use a function like explode and break the names u need....

i dont know what your trying to accomplish. but it makes no sense what so ever.

my script already cuts down the browser name to names like.

$user = explode ('/', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
echo $user[0]; 

opera
mozilla
chrome
safari
etc etc.

and the users themselfs cannot modify the outcome of this result.
so i see this as a futial attempt at coding something that doesnt need fixing.

but each to their own.

Actualy they can and usualy do because UA is user input.
And by that, what if there isn't / slash in it...

[Ghost]

well ive never come across a situation where the user has been able to modify the outcome of what his browser name displays at, but ill take your word for it.

and your solution would be to do what?

[arnage]

Trust me. One of solutions is this.

well thats given me something to think about at least.
although that snippet seems like alot of work just to grab a browser name and dump it into a .txt file.
wether its a temp dump or a permenent one.

but thanks though.

Welcome. ;) But i think that everything less than that is meaningless, for it structure as it covers check for empty server var, it can be isset but with no value, and sets the word Browser if is, checks if there is / slash and if not sends it to check and cut if its longer that 10 chars, if is / slash there it goes to see what there is, as for browser reading many of phones is gonna display Mozilla even when it totally different models, not to mention manufactors, here is covered Nokia phones not to display Mozilla when its Nokia or if in first string is model to display, for example, NokiaN97, not Nokia. Similar goes for IEMobile and Android...
So, that function can only be extended, and plus better over strstr() as it uses strpos() is faster and clearly faster than regex and preg_match(). ;)

Well...Actually browser is a user input as I see....and of course user can change the browser name showing...there are many proxies which can do that..

I think it is better to use explode function like this.

$user = explode (" ", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']); 

now dont tell if his bowser has no spaces, haha. If there is a browser name like that which has no spaces. then use the function I mentoned in the above post which will get the first 15 characters of the browsr name.
