Answer 1

I’ve heard many people complain about how the function just doesn’t work on their site. If you take a careful look at the manual, you’ll notice the following notice further down:

1. The first thing you need to do is to check if your system has browscap.ini installed and if not, can you do so by yourself. invoke the phpinfo() function. This will help you gather some information about your system:

2. If browscap is not installed, then look for Configuration File (php.ini) Path. This is where your PHP configuration file is located and enable browscap settings.After you’re done, it should look something like this:

   [browscap]

   browscap = "D:\xampp\php\extras\browscap.ini"

3. Restart your apache try the below code

   $browser = get_browser(null, true);

   print_r($browser);

4. if still your get_browser() is not functioning proper there might be problem with your browscap.ini file. You can download the updated browscap.ini file from https://browsers.garykeith.com/downloads, and replace your browscap.ini will be located in /php/extras/browscap.ini

5. Once you done, restart your apache again and execute the code.
