/*
the order is important, because opera must be tested first, and ie4 tested for b
efore ie general
same for konqueror, then safari, then gecko, since safari navigator user agent i
d's with 'gecko' in string.
note that $dom_browser is set for all modern dom browsers, this gives you a def
ault to use, unfortunately we
haven't figured out a way to do this with actual method testing, which would be
much better and reliable.
Please note: you have to call the function in order to get access to the variabl
es, you call it by this:
browser_detection('browser');
then put you code that you want to use the variables with after that.

you would call it like this:
$user_browser = browser_detection('browser');
if ( $user_browser == 'opera' )

{
do something;
}
or like this:
if ( browser_detection('dom') )
{
execute the code for dom browsers
}
else
{
execute the code for non DOM browsers
}
and so on.......
