When you want to save your browser information into the database then can filter your http user agent using a simple trick. Cause usually this $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] returns long big line of your user agent. If you want to get rid of big line and want to make it just like your browser name, you can use the following piece of code to filter it.

$borwserList = array('Mozilla','IE','Chrome','Safari'); foreach($borwserList as $thisBrowser) { if(preg_match("/$thisBrowser/",$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { $data['web_browser'] = $thisBrowser; } }

This is the fairly simple php code in this planet earth . All this code is doing is filtering the user agent. You will get your required browser name in your $data['web_browser'].

Now you can use this based on your requirements.
