Does anyone have any PHP code that detects if the user has flash, and if they dont replace the flash with a picture?

I just need something simple to get me started. Thanks

This flash detection script works very well. It detects the version of Flash they are using and automatically downloads and prompts the end user to install the version needed for your flash movie. For example they have Flash Player 6, but your movie is saved as Flash 8 it will download Flash 8. You can customize it so that if they do not have flash installed you can dictate what they see instead.

Simply incorporate it into the HTML content of your php file. (It is a little complicated so it will take you some studying and experimenting to work for your site.)

Whatever you do, if you use JavaScript to detect if they have flash, make sure they actually have JavaScript also prior to attempting to detect with it.
