Can someone tell me how to get the response from $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] into the email notification I receive from my webform?

Hi AJ,
Is your form hosted on S-Drive?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

There's a couple of ways to do this.
I would place an input on your form and hide with css or Jquery.
Then place this in the input as the value.
value="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];?>"


You'll need to set your server to parse php within html.

Results:
It did not work for me.
The page in question is hosted on Godaddy. Some of the content is cached by cloudflare. The cache was completely purged and disabled. The page was viewed with Firefox in private mode.

Added to top-level .htaccess:
# set your server to parse php within html.
# https://encodable.com/parse_html_files_as_php/
# begin displays all the PHP code ("echo", etc)
# AddHandler x-httpd-php .html .htm
# AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
# end displays all the PHP code ("echo", etc)

# begin prompts me to choose "What should Firefox do with this file?"
# AddHandler php-script .php .html .htm
# AddHandler php5-script .php .html .htm
# AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
# end prompts me to choose "What should Firefox do with this file?"

Used in my form:
<div class="fb-input-box">
<input name="item79REFERENCE2" id="item79" type="text" maxlength="254"
placeholder="" autocomplete="off" data-hint="" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];?>" />
</div>

Results: See .htaccess above. Nothing worked.

The objective:
Get the user agent info into the email notification sent from my form. Your info has nothing to do with getting the user agent info into the email notification but I like it so I might use it for something else if I can get it to work.

Can you enlighten me on how it doesn't?:lol:
Are you using the script provided by the Form Builder? If so remove the script that raps the iframe code.
Can you share a link to the form?
Were you able to parse php within your html?
Working here.
