NYCPHP Meetup

[Sexton, David]

I would also point out that the HTTP_USER_AGENT can be modified on the
user's machine. I've read that even MSIE can have it's identity changed via
the registry, so I agree it is pretty useless. Especially when browsers like
Konqueror make it so easy to mask the true identity. What about using an
image as a submit trigger? Or use CSS to modify the look of your buttons. I
know the default look isn't very appealing... just some suggestions.

Well I was hoping for a more elegant display solution of not showing the
submit button if javascript is enabled, nonetheless, it ain't worth it. 
But thanx for the suggestions.  I think I'll steer clear of get_browser();
it's a waste.

I think Dan has a good point here... the more complicated web work i do the
thinner I like the client side. Why not just use a submit button all the
time instead of the JS submit method?
