Hi,

I was wondering if someone could write me a simple PHP script. I am looking for a way to redirect a browser to a different site if they are using IE 6. If they are using any other browser I want it to continue loading.

What would be the best way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

That would be more of a Javascript thing.

Code:

<!--[if IE 6]> 
<script type="javascript"> 
document.location.href= "http://www.yoursite.com";
</script>
<!--[endif]>

Just put that at the top of your <head> section, and it should redirect people that are using IE6

Your comment wasn't closed properly, should have been

Code:

<![endif]-->

But other than that it's perfect. Thanks alot!

Code:

<!--[if IE 6]> 
<script type="javascript"> 
document.location.href= "http://www.yoursite.com";
</script>
<![endif]-->

is the easiest way to do it.

See my post here: http://www.webmaster-talk.com/php-fo...tml#post448351 for a brief explanation on how to do this with php.
I wrote it for search engine spiders, but you could easily adapt it.
