Did I miss anything obvious? Just double checking. It seems to be working fine.

//returns 1 if the user agent is a bot

function is_bot($user_agent)

{

  //if no user agent is supplied then assume it's a bot

  if($user_agent == "")

    return 1;


  //array of bot strings to check for

  $bot_strings = Array(  "google",     "bot",

            "yahoo",     "spider",

            "archiver",   "curl",

            "python",     "nambu",

            "twitt",     "perl",

            "sphere",     "PEAR",

            "java",     "wordpress",

            "radian",     "crawl",

            "yandex",     "eventbox",

            "monitor",   "mechanize",

            "facebookexternal"

          );

  foreach($bot_strings as $bot)

  {

    if(strpos($user_agent,$bot) !== false)

    { return 1; }

  }

  

  return 0;

}

What is the Bing cralwer named? What type of bots are you looking for specifically?

I'm just trying to identify the real visitors from the bots.

Normally, bot names are {SEARCHENGINENAME}_bot.

eg. GOOGLE_bot.



Also Nambu bot is like this: Nambu_11_bot
