Posted December 14, 2013 9.5k views
I get this error when i run get_browser() function in php: Warning: get_browser(): browscap ini directive not set... I enabled that in php.ini and put file in etc/extra/browscap.ini as i wrote in php.ini, but still doesn't work. Why? I restarted httpd few times.

Which php.ini file did you edit? Where is it located?

Try creating a file with 
<?php phpinfo()
in it and browsing to it, do you see your browscap configuration set properly?

If not, try checking for other php.ini files (I'm not really familiar with CentOS so I don't know where everything is exactly): 
sudo find / -name php.ini -type f 2>/dev/null

After entering command in terminal, output is /etc/php.ini

phpinfo() at browscap says "no value"... Why?

Are you sure you configured browscap properly in php.ini? What lines did you change/add?

[browscap]
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/misc.configuration.php#ini.browscap
browscap = /etc/extra/browscap.ini


I uncommented that line and added my path.
