IE - specific message

Question

I use SVG Charts on my website. It works in all browsers except IE. I would like to add a snippet of PHP code with a message for IE users.

I think I can get the agent info with PHP, but I'm not sure how to detect version. I believe IE 9 supports it now, so I need only for versions below IE 9.

This (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/671890/can-i-detect-ie6-with-php) can be useful for you?? — Galled, Oct 12 '11 at 19:29

You don't need PHP for this.

Instead, use conditional comments.

Oh, that's cool, but they all seem browser specific if IE 7, if IE 6 etc. Can it be do for all IEs under 9? – santa Oct 12 '11 at 19:31

You could use the PHP function get_browser. See here.

The site contains numerous examples of how to detect the browser and display an appropriate message.

Put this around the html

<![if lt IE 9]> 
    Show stuff to browsers => IE 9
<![endif]-->
<!--[if lt IE 9]> 
    hide stuff from browsers < IE 9
<![endif]-->
