Identifies the browser for this session.
Identifies as much as possible of the browser name and version, OS name and version, and the renderer name and version. The renderer is then used to determine which capabilites are supported.
Located in Program_Root/browser.php (line 103)
Resolve the domain name of the browser.
Build date of the browser, if built with Gecko.
Gecko is the mozilla browser technology. Conforming user agent strings include the build date of the Gecko component. (Can be empty)
Calculated system name.
The most likely operating system derived from the user agent string.
Return actual ip address of browser (resolves proxies).
Does the browser use this renderer or run on this operating system?.
See the browser renderer/OS constants.
Name of the browser.
Not necessarily the same as the renderer name. AOL uses the IE engine or the Gecko engine, depending on version. MSN uses the IE engine.
Identifies the technology used by this browser.
This is often different than the name, since many browsers employ embedded renderers like Gecko, or are rebranded like Opera Composer browsers.
Identifies the version of the technology used by this browser.
This is the number used internall to identify whether a feature is supported.
Is the requested functionality supported?.
See the browser functionality constants.
Fully formatted operating system id.
Returns as much information about the operating system as possible.
Specific name of the operating system.
Operating system version.
This is specific, like Windows NT 5.1 (Windows 2000) will return 5.1, not 2000.
Version of the browser.
Not necessarily the same as the renderer version. Largely useless identifier for determining feature support, but nice to use when showing a user which browser they are running. e.g. displaying 'MSN 7.0' instead of 'IE 5.5sp1'.
