Question

im trying to redirect users to another page if they are using internet explorer but this code doen’t redirect them it loads the page up as normal on i.e.

I have tried different variations of MSIE but nothing seems to work

session_start();

  if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], '/MSIE/i') !== false){
header('Location: /ie.php');
die();
}else{
echo "User Agent not recognised.";
}

any one have any ideas?

try this:

session_start();

if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== false){
    header('Location: /ie.php');
    die();
}else{
    echo "User Agent not recognised.";
}

The reason is that strpos‘s second parameter, the needle, is not supposed to be a regular expression.
