Re: [PHP] $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] in html email

[Graham Anderson]

What would be the standard/accepted  way to do this?
is it better to spell it out in the html email ?
Download:
Mac             PC              Linux ?
many thanks :)

php is server-side, so no. you might be able to do what you're after
with javascript, but any sensible person has that turned off in

[remember, there are more operating systems/platforms than pc and mac
(with OS variations within those), so defaulting to "download" if it's
not mac would not be a nice thing to do. the download should be on the
positive match, not the fall-through.]

Subject: [PHP] $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] in html email
is it possible to use $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] in an html email ?
something like:
//What should we download based on user's platform ?
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Macintosh') !== FALSE) {
$download  = 'Fonovisa.dmg';
echo 'Mac';
}
else
{
echo 'PC';
$download = '!Fonovisa.exe';
}
