How can I redirect a windows OS to another page?

Thanks

The only way I'm aware of to detect a user's OS is through the user_agent field. The value is determined from the user's request so it isn't 100% reliable. This code should work for typical users:

PHP Code:


			
if(stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'windows') !== false)

     header('Location: somepage.php');

Just curious, why do you need to redirect windows users?

Your "solution" would redirect ALL user agents not Windows users only AND this is the PHP board whereas your offering is in HTML.
