IE is installed on Windows. In all Windows installations you set your language and country, and I bet that IE knows its way around the registry to compose a correct language string and send it to you. Finally IE is only used on Windows. Though you can set the same info in Unix it is probably so that Netscapes encodes only the language you use in the interface, or the one used while downloading the program, or something similar. Obviously it doesn't go to the same lengths as IE to extract the needed information. > Is there anyway to do this, using php? Probably, but not using the info here. You can look up which block an IP address belongs to and then find out which country this is in. (Try www.ripe.org and siblings for more info on this). That's probably the only consistent (and costly in network time/parsing) method, and I wouldn't rely on it either... -- Paul K Egell-Johnsen Utvikler/PR Manager eZ systems as http://ez.no/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
