copied!<h3>Can I Imitate Another Browser/Platform?</h3> <p>There are many ways to spoof user agent strings. In firefox, there happens to be an extension called "User Agent Switcher," which allows you to imitate other browsers.</p> <p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59</a></p> <h3>User Agents</h3> <p>Checking the user-agent often times can tell you this. For instance, my user-agent is:</p> <blockquote> <p>Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.0 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/3.0.195.38 Safari/532.0</p> </blockquote> <p>Which platform am I on?</p> <h3>Javascript Option</h3> <p>You can also use the <code>navigator</code> object in Javascript to get some information too. For instance:</p> <pre><code>alert(navigator.platform); // alerts Win32 alert(navigator.userAgent); // Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0... </code></pre> <h3>PHP Options</h3> <p>You can get the user-agent in PHP from the $_SERVER array:</p> <pre><code>print $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]; // Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT... </code></pre> <p>PHP also has further goodies, such as the <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-browser.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>get_browser()</code></a><strong>*</strong> function in PHP which returns an array of information, including the <code>platform</code>:</p> <pre><code>Array ( ... [parent] => Firefox 0.9 [platform] => WinXP [browser] => Firefox [version] => 0.9 ... ) </code></pre> <hr> <p><sup>* <code>get_browser()</code> relies upon browscap.ini - See<br/> <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/misc.configuration.php#ini.browscap" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.php.net...php#ini.browscap</a> for more information.</sup></p>
