[Solved] Configure Browscap.ini

[randomer679]

Hello, I hope this is the correct place for this. I was wondering if you could please configure browscap in php? It just requires downloading a small text file and configuring php to show it where the file is. This is needed for the get_browser() function in php and it would be very helpful if you could do this please .

Further info:

The file can be found here (it's the 'php_browscap.ini' file): http://browsers.gary...m/downloads.asp

The relevant php documentation for the use: http://php.net/manua...get-browser.php

and for the configuration of it (just requires setting the path in the php.ini): http://www.php.net/m...hp#ini.browscap

Again sorry if this is the wrong place it was my best guess

EDIT: Sorry I just noticed the customer feedback board which may have been more appropriate, I didn't read that it included feature requests.

Yes! Configuring browscap would be excellent. But until then, this fix will work:

<?php
ini_set("browscap","path_to_browscap.ini");
?>

Put this at the top of pages using get_browser(), and upload your browscap.ini to your home folder.

Thanks, but I tried this and it didn't work. I looked through the php manual and it says that this option can only be configured in the php.ini file and not in user scripts.
