I’m using $_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’] to detect user’s browser.
When I run the var_dump on my localhost on IE8 it returns:
…compatible; MSIE 8.0; …
But when I upload it to my host (godaddy), I get:
…compatible; MSIE 7.0; …
What’s the problem?
Check for the word
TRIDENTin the string. The compatibility-thing is ie in compatibility-mode. Google it if you want to know what it means. However, the term trident is only ie8+.Edit:
Also, you can set a headder/meta-tag to force ie8-mode (no compatibility). However, this will probably not take effect before the second request. Google that too.
