PHP get_browser() doesn't match browsers with '+' (plus sign). about browscap HOT 5 CLOSED

I think this is actually a bug in PHP's get_browser function, it seems to have a problem with the + symbol. A workaround, as mentioned in the post you linked to is to change + to ? - but this is a hack, and is not the correct way to fix this, so we won't be doing this in the .ini files themselves. I haven't had a chance to look into this to confirm, but I'm fairly sure this is a PHP bug, not Browscap.

Yes, ti's a bug in browscap PHP library. The files themselves are constructed correctly. Is browscap library managed by php.net? If so, then I'm gonna submit a bug to them, although I don't know how long it will take them to fix it.

Yes, the get_browser() method is part of the PHP "standard" extension - you can see the file here: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/standard/browscap.c -

I would recommend using the browscap/browscap-php library in the mean time.

If you do report it to PHP, could you link to the bug here for anyone looking for a resolution to this please?
