Can PHP detect Flash..??

Hello,
I'm just wondering whether or not PHP can detect user browser's capabilities with flash... I see that there's get_browser() function, but I'm not sure if it can detect flash or not...?

Anybody have solution? I'm looking for a script that can detect flash... PHP is preferable.. haha thx

I am not sure if PHP can but i am quite sure you can make a .swf file to run hidden that communicates with the PHP, which can then output the flash version message.

deconcept › SWFObject: Javascript Flash Player detection and embed script - This is using only a .swf from what i read and it may help you to do something with detecting flash.

I was 99% sure you could detect with Javascript and i found - JavaScript - Flash detect it also uses a little VBscript in it also.

Sorry its not PHP but PHP is server side so chances are it can not detect flash on its own.

you can use Javascript (ClientSide) and redirect with JS to a Flash or Non-Flash version if you want

Flash is instantiated by the browser after proper HTML is presented which calls for the plugin, so it can't be detected from the server side. This is true for any browser-detected content-type: the browser instantiates based on the file type association for the OS present which necessarily varies from one computer to the next.
