Display a message to Opera and Safari Users

[Luke]

Hii

I'm developing a site, an di've just tested it in Opera and Safari,
In Opera, the scripts don't work so site litterally doesn't work lol
and in Safari it works but font is weird lol.

So is there a way i can make some text come up if they're using any of those browsers to recomend they use IE, FF oR GC?

Thanks
Luke

What if JS is turned off....

Ask someone to make a PHP file, grabbing HTTP_USER_AGENT, then say for me, it return "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1.", you can see im using Firefox, version 3.0.1.

Im in bed, so I cba to code.

[Luke]

hmm, could you maybe code it when your out of bed please (+rep ), as i'm having trouble understanding that.

At above, thanks for trying but ye, javascript is the problem in the first place

<?php
$agent = $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];

if(eregi('Opera', $agent)) {
echo("You are using Opera");
}

if(eregi('Firefox', $agent)) {
echo("You are using Firefox");
}
?>

Why not just develop the site to work in Opera, I wouldn't change browsers just to browse a site, and what about text-only browsers, you should make your website accessible to everyone.
