Hello Iliaa

Why do you release a browscap.ini with invalid entries with every new
distribution of PHP?

Everybody using browscap.ini is forced to edit it, before he may use
it. Cumbersom...

Kind regards
Juri

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The browscap.ini sometimes contains not valid entries not supported by
PHP's ini parser. Simply remove those lines, there are usually very few
of those.

Hello Bug Report reader.

<?php
 function list_array ($array) {
     while (list ($key, $value) = each ($array)) {
     $str .= "<b>$key:</b> $value<br>\n";
     }
     return $str;
 }
 echo "$HTTP_USER_AGENT<hr>\n";
 $browser = get_browser();
 echo list_array ((array) $browser);
?>

The browser information will be output together with the following
message appended:
PHP: Error parsing [drive]:\[path]\browscap.ini on line 8206 

browscap.ini at line position 8206 reads:
browser=AE/2.1(Linux)

Changing "AE/2.1(Linux)" to "AE/2.1 Linux" solves the parsing error.
The parsing procedure seems to "dislike" brackets [(,)].

This problem is quite old, but still persists with PHP 4.2.3.

Suggestion: Update browscap.ini for PHP distributions accordingly.

Kind regards
Juri
