Any browser detection function?

I've just searched for this in the internet, and it seems that there is no working snippet for detecting user's browser with javascript.

What I want to know is just the browser that the user uses (eg. Firefox, Opera, etc.)

Does anyone knows how to do that easilly?

Nevermind. It looks easier server side :

http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-browser.php

:)

lol

maybe we should move this post to the php forum...

You are right :)

I moved it

actually I was joking ;D

Well the question was about a javascript problem, but as the solution was php, I thought it would be right to move the thread here :)

of course you're right :)

But you may have to move this from PHP to Java!  ;)
