using results ffrom javascript/vbscript in php

**numbenator** · 07-30-2006, 02:31 PM

HI there,

I've picked up a couple of vbscript/javascript functions that enable me to check across all browsers ther flash player version. Including IE
They are from the swfObject.

My question is how do i use the function results in php (one of which is defined using vbscript the other javascript) to output results depending on the version.
In my example, i wish to output one movie when ver 8.0 and another when 6.0

cheers

Code:

<script language="VBScript">

  Visual basic helper required to detect Flash Player ActiveX control version information
    Function VBGetSwfVer(i)
        on error resume next
        Dim swControl, swVersion
        swVersion = 0
        
        set swControl = CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." + CStr(i))
        if (IsObject(swControl)) then
          swVersion = swControl.GetVariable("$version")
        end if
        VBGetSwfVer = swVersion
      End Function
	  document.write(VBGetSwfVer(8))
 

</script>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

function JSGetSwfVer(i){
	// NS/Opera version >= 3 check for Flash plugin in plugin array
	if (navigator.plugins != null && navigator.plugins.length > 0) {
		if (navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] || navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"]) {
			var swVer2 = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] ? " 2.0" : "";
      		var flashDescription = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash" + swVer2].description;
			descArray = flashDescription.split(" ");
			tempArrayMajor = descArray[2].split(".");
			versionMajor = tempArrayMajor[0];
			versionMinor = tempArrayMajor[1];
			if ( descArray[3] != "" ) {
				tempArrayMinor = descArray[3].split("r");
			} else {
				tempArrayMinor = descArray[4].split("r");
			}
      		versionRevision = tempArrayMinor[1] > 0 ? tempArrayMinor[1] : 0;
            flashVer = versionMajor + "." + versionMinor + "." + versionRevision;
      	} else {
			flashVer = -1;
		}
	}
	// MSN/WebTV 2.6 supports Flash 4
	else if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv/2.6") != -1) flashVer = 4;
	// WebTV 2.5 supports Flash 3
	else if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv/2.5") != -1) flashVer = 3;
	// older WebTV supports Flash 2
	else if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv") != -1) flashVer = 2;
	// Can't detect in all other cases
	else {
		
		flashVer = -1;
	}
	document.write(flashVer);
}
JSGetSwfVer(6);
