How do I echo browser information in a form?

I just want to collect info about what browser is being used, version etc., possibly OS, resolution etc. and put this into a form so it sends browser info with the stuff they submit anyway.

alternatively, why no the get the info from the page submitted. These is no need to first place this info into form and then send it to server. When the request is made to server, you can get the desired info, how? See below.


Code:


<?php
$browser_name="Unknown";
$agent = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
if (preg_match("/MSIE/i", "$agent"))
{
   $browser_name = "IE";
}

else if (preg_match("/Mozilla/i", "$agent"))
{
   $browser_name= "Netscape";
}
//the $browser_name variable now has the browser name. Someone else may be help you in detail.
?>


You can get browser name, version, OS, but cant get Screen resolution with php. i think you need to do it which javascript.

echo "$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']";
