A situation may come up when you want to redirect a user depending on what browser they are using. Below in a simple script that you can add to any PHP page that will redirect a user depending on what broswer they are using.

<? if ($name = strstr ($HTTP_USER_AGENT, "MSIE")) { Header ("Location: http://www.msn.com/"); } else { Header ("Location: http://www.google.com/"); } ?>
The code above is pretty simple. First, we check to see if the user is using Microsoft Internet Explorer. If they are, we will redirect them to http://www.msn.com

If the user is using a different browser (FireFox, Safaria, Opera, etc..) they will be directed to www.google.com. Pretty Simple!
