        $b = get_browser();
 
        if ($b->parent == 'IE 6.0' || $b->parent == 'IE 5.5' || $b->parent == 'IE 5.01')  //this is line 18
            return true;
        else
            return false;
    }
public function isIE()
    {
        $b = get_browser();
        
        if ($b->parent == 'IE 6.0' || $b->parent == 'IE 5.5' || $b->parent == 'IE 5.01')  //this is line 18

The problem is that get_browser returns an array, not an object. use $b['parent'] , not $b->parent

Try the following:

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
public function isIE()
    {
        $b = get_browser(null, true);
 
        if ($b['browser']=='IE')
            return true;
        else
            return false;
    }
public function isIE()
    {
        $b = get_browser(null, true);
        
        if ($b['browser']=='IE')
            return true;
        else
            return false;
    }
