Can’t tell you exactly why but that function didnt work for me either..
Finally i have found this script i have modified a little bit here: get_browser()
Here it is (in your functions.php):
function whatBrowser() {
//browsers
define("UNKNOWN", 0);
define("TRIDENT", 1);
define("GECKO", 2);
define("PRESTO", 3);
define("WEBKIT", 4);
define("VALIDATOR", 5);
define("ROBOTS", 6);
if(!isset($_SESSION["info"]['browser'])) {
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine'] = UNKNOWN;
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['version'] = UNKNOWN;
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['platform'] = 'Unknown';
$navigator_user_agent=" " . strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
if (strpos($navigator_user_agent, 'linux')) :
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['platform'] = 'Linux';
elseif (strpos($navigator_user_agent, 'mac')) :
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['platform'] = 'Mac';
elseif (strpos($navigator_user_agent, 'win')) :
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['platform'] = 'Windows';
endif;
if (strpos($navigator_user_agent, "trident")) {
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine'] = TRIDENT;
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['version'] = floatval(substr($navigator_user_agent, strpos($navigator_user_agent, "trident/") + 8, 3));
}
elseif (strpos($navigator_user_agent, "webkit")) {
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine'] = WEBKIT;
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['version'] = floatval(substr($navigator_user_agent, strpos($navigator_user_agent, "webkit/") + 7, 8));
}
elseif (strpos($navigator_user_agent, "presto")) {
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine'] = PRESTO;
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['version'] = floatval(substr($navigator_user_agent, strpos($navigator_user_agent, "presto/") + 6, 7));
}
elseif (strpos($navigator_user_agent, "gecko")) {
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine'] = GECKO;
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['version'] = floatval(substr($navigator_user_agent, strpos($navigator_user_agent, "gecko/") + 6, 9));
}
elseif (strpos($navigator_user_agent, "robot"))
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine'] = ROBOTS;
elseif (strpos($navigator_user_agent, "spider"))
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine'] = ROBOTS;
elseif (strpos($navigator_user_agent, "bot"))
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine'] = ROBOTS;
elseif (strpos($navigator_user_agent, "crawl"))
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine'] = ROBOTS;
elseif (strpos($navigator_user_agent, "search"))
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine'] = ROBOTS;
elseif (strpos($navigator_user_agent, "w3c_validator"))
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine'] = VALIDATOR;
elseif (strpos($navigator_user_agent, "jigsaw"))
$_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine'] = VALIDATOR;
echo $_SESSION['browser']['engine'];
switch($_SESSION["info"]['browser']['engine']) {
case UNKNOWN: echo "unknown";
break;
case TRIDENT: echo "trident";
break;
case GECKO: echo "gecko";
break;
case PRESTO: echo "presto";
break;
case WEBKIT: echo "Webkit";
break;
case VALIDATOR: echo "validator";
break;
case ROBOTS: echo "robot";
}
}
}
.
Then just change the body tag to this:
<body class="<?php whatBrowser(); ?>">
.
I tested it with chrome, IE & Firefox… worked gr8 for me..
Hope this Helps.
Best of luck, Sagive.
