QuickStart

How to quickly setup your browser capabilities script without get_browser().

Code

How to quickly setup your browser capabilities script without get_browser():

• Download the package and unpack it
• Upload everything on your server (You haven't to modify the Browscap class!)
• Change permissions on Browscap/cache to 666 (you might need 777)
• Create a .php file with the following content:

    <?php
    
    // Loads the class
    require 'path/to/Browscap.php';
    
    // Creates a new Browscap object (loads or creates the cache)
    $bc = new Browscap('path/to/the/cache/dir');
    
    // Gets information about the current browser's user agent
    $current_browser = $bc->getBrowser();
    
    // Output the result
    echo '<pre>'; // some formatting issues ;)
    print_r($current_browser);
    echo '</pre>';

Result

Now open your web browser and navigate to the file you just created, you should see a result similar to the following but with your browser's information:
