Hi vbscript guru's.

I am a php mainly but php won't cut it in this situation so I think
I'm looking to vbs and/or javascript to hand off the variables to php.
I'm a vbs Noob so bear with me if my terminology is wrong.

Here is my situation.

I have a series of IE Plugins to check for (Flash, Real Audio, if the
user is using AoL, etc, etc,) I see through searching that the
CreateObject() is used with some error catching to see if the Object
is present. Error mean no plugin no error means its running

Now what I am wondering is how do I know what goes in the ()? Is
there a list that IE can spit out or something in my registry i can
lookup, or am I going to each of the major plug in makers and asking
them?

Perhaps there is an online resource for this...

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Cheers and thanks to all in advance,

Gary

Probably not the correct answer but I cant tell you the number of times I
have used this simple script.
