But what happens if you do

<?php
$browser = get_browser();
print_r($browser);
?>

I'll bet not much, since it seems from the message that $browser isn't an 
array.  So, if that's the case, it means get_browser() isn't working right 
for you.

Of course, you realize, that just because a browser CAN use JavasCrap, 
doesn't mean the person has it enabled.  And that relying on JS for 
essential things can lead to your site being unusable for such people.  
See my rant at http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/weberror.htm about 
this if you care.
