Hi Simon,

You could try something like this in JavaScrict:

Code: Select all

 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
 var bname=navigator.appName;
 var host=addr.getHostName();
 var ip=addr.getHostAddress();
 var os="unknown";
 
 if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win")!=-1) os="Windows";
 if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac")!=-1) os="Mac";
 if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("X11")!=-1) os="UNIX";
 if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Linux")!=-1) os="Linux";
 
 document.write('Your IP is ' + ip + '! Your ISP is ' + host + '.')
 document.write('<br />')
 document.write('You are running ' + os + 'and using ' + browser + '!')
</script>

but be aware of the fact that alot of people can spoof their user agent info and some firewalls will not send this info.

Check this out: http://de2.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php

Especially the $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] should be interesting.

Eran · #14 Nov 23rd, 2007, 12:16

its the same...
the only difference from the function i've uploaded is that this function is using array.
you can do it too...

the truth is that i don't know what better except that arrays looking nicer ;]

Monie · #15 Nov 24th, 2007, 02:22

The asp INSTR function will do just fine for now

simonb · #16 Nov 24th, 2007, 08:36

So i can tell people to get vista

Monie · #17 Nov 26th, 2007, 23:59
