OS Detect

[Alexandre Plennevaux]

hello,

would it be possible to detect the client's OS system with php?
i don't need much detail, only if its a Windows, a linux or a macintosh
system.

any idea?

thanks,

Alexandre

No guarantees:

<?php
if (stripos($_SERV ER['HTTP_USER_AGEN T'], 'win') !== FALSE) {
// client is using a windows browser
} else {
// he is using Un*x :)
}
?>
