The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.

Check the value of the PHP_OS constantDocs.
ReplyDeleteIt will give you various values on Windows like WIN32, WINNT or Windows.
See as well: Possible Values For: PHP_OS and php_unameDocs:
if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === 'WIN') {
echo 'This is a server using Windows!';
} else {
echo 'This is a server not using Windows!';
}
The php_uname function can be used to detect this.
ReplyDeleteecho php_uname();
not the most robust way to do a test, but you can check if the directory seperator is / (linux) or \ windows. the constant name is DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR
ReplyDeleteif (DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR == '/') {
// linux
}
if (DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR == '\') {
// windows
}
From http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php#102162 :
ReplyDelete<?php
echo '<table border="1">';
foreach ($_SERVER as $k => $v){
echo "<tr><td>" . $k ."</td><td>" . $v . "</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>"
?>
This is the entire $_SERVER array... as ArtWorkAD has noted, by using the HTTP_USER_AGENT key, you can extract the OS more explicitly.
