In order to add something to another bug report, I tried to retrieve the browscap.ini - I found two URL on php.net, both of them won?t reveal a browscap.ini file thus we should include that file in the php distribution I think.

Also we should remove these links from php.net:

1) Site moved 100% commercial, wasn?t able to find a browscap.ini on their site anymore, ?cause they want to sell theyr product "browserhawk", woo...
http://www.cyscape.com/asp/browscap/

2) Doesn?t work too
http://php.netvision.net.il/browscap/

The manual on get_browser() should be updated, the infos on php.net and php.ini should be updated.

Look more closely on the cyscape.com location. You have to scroll down
and fill out the form

wooo, I couldn?t imagine that they?ll force you to fill out a form to get the file - if that file is "free" we should include it in the distribution anyway

It's not free as in speech, only as in beer.
We cannot redistribute it.

You can also look at www.asptracker.com, the have file without the form.
