The only thing you can do is to ask him...

[NeverMind]

you have posted about this before in Javascript:

why did you start a new thread about it again?

well if you want it in PHP:

PHP Code:

<?php

$viewer = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT");



//Not IE then redirect to google

if(!preg_match( "/MSIE/i", "$viewer" ) ) { header ("Location: http://www.google.com"); }

?>

nice try but:

PHP Code:

function fakeBrowsing($page,$host) {

     $fp = fsockopen($host,80,$errno,$errstr,60);

     if(!$fp) return 'Error '.$errno.': '.$errstr;

     $req = "GET $page HTTP/1.0\r\n";

     $reg .= "User-agent: MSIE 6.0\r\n";

     $reg .= "Connection: close\r\n\r\n";

     fwrite($fp,$req);

     $contents = '';

     $body = false;

     while(!feof($fp)) {

         $line = fgets($fp,1024);

         if($line == "\r\n") $body = true;

         if($body) $contents .= $line;

     }

     fclose($fp);

     return $contents;

} 

this function will set a fake browser header which will enable anyone with php-enabled server to get the content of the page.

instead of limiting visitor to your page to certain browser, imho it's better to write cross browser compatible page.
