If IE6...

I made a snippet with the code:



i call for the code by adding [[ie]] to my code, but here is the problem, when i visit my page i don’t se "You have Internet Explorer 6" even if I am using IE6.

Maybe there is a easy solution for my problems?

Thanks

<?php
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE 6.0') !== FALSE) {
    echo 'You have Internet Explorer 6';
}

else {
    echo 'You have something else: ';
    echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
}
?>

Try the above instead, you’ll see what user agent is being reported. You might have to change it to just ’MSIE 6’

It’s also likely that you can achieve what you want more easily with conditional comments: http://virtuelvis.com/archives/2004/02/css-ie-only. Another method that I like a lot can be found here: http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/cc-plus.html.

Hope this helps.

In IE6the script is reporting: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9) even if I change it tå MSIE 6.

I have tried the code and it works as i should when i don’t use it as a snippet.

The reson why i wan’t to do this is because IE6 is so old and crappy and when a visitor with ie6 visits my homepage they will recieve a message that tells him to upgrade/change browser. If there is any easier way to do this, feel free to help me

Thank you for you help so far!

This targets anyone with IE6 or older (lte is for "less than or equal"). If you only want to target IE6, just leave out the "lte" altogether.

IE6 users will still see the rest of the page. To avoid that you can put another conditional comment around the rest:



I haven’t tested this second part and I wouldn’t count on it working in all browsers. Most of us still use specific code to make our pages work properly in IE6 because many of the people using it haven’t a clue about how to upgrade and some (e.g. students in computer labs) don’t have the authority to upgrade.

If you cache this snippet you my get into problems.
If the first user after clearing the cache uses IE6, the second user using Firefox will get the:

<p>You need to upgrade your browser</p>

So do not cache this snippet. Or use CSS
