Getting browser / version from cgi.http_user_agent

[_G_1]

Hi,

I am succesfully storing away into the database each individuals cgi.http_user_agent.

What a want to do is chop out the browser/platform and version number from the string and display it in a cfgraph for stat puposes.  Is there any easy way of doing this?

Does somebody have a function I can look at/use?

Many thanks,

George

Hi All,

I have managed to find a function that strips out the irrelecant information from the cgi.http_user_agent and displays the information like so...

MSIE 9.0

MSIE 9.0

MSIE 10.0

Chrome 28.0.1500.95

Chrome 28.0.1500.95

Chrome 29.0.1547.62

Chrome 29.0.1547.62

Chrome 29.0.1547.62

Firefox 19.0

Firefox 23.0

Here is my code...

<cfquery name="get_browserstats" datasource="XXX">

          SELECT            XXX_NAME

          FROM           XXX_NAME_TABLE

          ORDER BY upper(XXX_NAME)

</cfquery>

<cfset myArray = ArrayNew(1)>

<cfoutput query="get_browserstats">

<cfscript>

<cfset browser_array = #ArrayAppend(myArray, "#browserDetect()#")#>

</cfoutput>

<cfset myList = ArrayToList(myArray, "<br>")>

<cfoutput>

    #myList#

</cfoutput>

What I want to do is use this information on my array and place it into a nice <cfchart> pie graph... although I am struggling.... Anyone got any useful tips on how to do this?  It would be much apprciated..

Many thanks,

George
