eregi("Internet Explorer",getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) {
Header("Location: https://www.domain.com/ie_reject?;

How do I browser block code in php?

 

Hello,

I have a simple example that will show you how to block a browser using PHP. I documented each line for you and here is the code:

<?php

// This line will check what browser the user is using.

$agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; 

//This line will print to the screen the type of browser the user is using. You can keep the line or delete it .

echo $agentToBlock;

// Allow certain browser and disable others. This is a condition statement used to check if the browser is Internet explorer

if (preg_match("/bMSIEb/i", $agent)) 

{

   echo 'You are using IE, you can pass.';

} 

  // Other browsers are not allowed

else if (preg_match("/bFirefoxb/i", $agent))

{

   echo 'You are using Firefox, goodbye.';

  // use this function to abort.

   exit(); 

   }

?>

I hope this is useful.
