README.txt
Browscap provides an improved version of PHP's get_browser() function.
The get_browser() function can be used to tell what a visitor's browser is
capable of. Unfortunately, the version provided by PHP has a number of
limitations, namely:
* It can be difficult or impossible to configure for shared hosting
environments.
* The data used to identify browsers and determine their capabilities requires
consistent maintenance to keep up-to-date.
Browscap automates maintenance by storing browser data in a database and
automatically retrieving the latest data on a configurable schedule.
Requirements
------------
Browscap requires that your server be able to "phone out" (make a http request)
to retrieve and update its user agent database.
Note: Some hosting companies have this capability blocked.
Installation
------------
Browscap can be installed via the standard Drupal installation process.
http://drupal.org/node/895232
API
---
Modules can make use of browscap data by calling browscap_get_browser()
anywhere they would otherwise call the PHP get_browser()
(http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.get-browser.php) function.
Note: browser_name_regex is not returned.

A special thanks goes out to Gary Keith (http://www.garykeith.com) who provides
regular updates to the browscap user agent database, and specifically for
adding a non-zipped CSV version of browscap to support this module.
