And posting in ALL CAPS isn't going to get our attention.  It's more likely to
irritate us and make us IGNORE YOU.

How about PHP?

<? echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT; ?>

In my browser it returns:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt)

And you could use functions like explode() and/or regular expressions to pull
out the components from that string that interest you.  You may want to create a
PHP page with the following code: <? phpinfo(); ?> and then load the page in a
browser and get familiar with the Apache environment variables and PHP variables
available to you.
