Hi Guys,

Anyone know what variable to search for and match against User/Client  
Browser Language?  
Say i want to drop everyone that has browser lang set to US or  
something.

Thanks in advance, i should be able to figure this out but i cant recall  
which $var holds this data… did not work with user-agent obviously heh

Thanks  
Payam
