Simple browser detection for PHP
, (*1)
This library provides simple browser detection for PHP. It uses a simple and fast algorithm to recognize major browsers., (*2)
The UserAgent package was developed for our spam-protection system Gatekeeper., (*3)
PHP provides a native function to detect the user browser: get_browser(). This function requires
the browscap.ini file which is 300KB+ in size. Loading and processing this file impacts the script performance. And sometimes,
the production server just doesn't provide browscap.ini., (*4)
Although get_browser() surely provides excellent detection results, in most cases a much simpler method can be just as effective.
The FlameCore UserAgent library has the advantage of being compact and easy to extend., (*5)
To make use of the API, include the vendor autoloader and use the classes:, (*6)
namespace Acme\MyApplication; use FlameCore\UserAgent\UserAgent; require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // Create a user agent object $userAgent = UserAgent::createFromGlobal();
Then the parsed values can be retrieved using the getter methods:, (*7)
$userAgent->getBrowserName(); // firefox $userAgent->getBrowserVersion(); // 3.6 $userAgent->getBrowserEngine(); // gecko $userAgent->getOperatingSystem(); // linux
When you create a UserAgent object, the current user agent string is used. You can specify another user agent string:, (*8)
``` php // Use another User Agent string $userAgent = UserAgent::create('msnbot/2.0b (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)'); $userAgent->getBrowserName(); // msnbot, (*9)
// Use current User Agent string $userAgent = UserAgent::create($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']); // ... which is equivalent to: $userAgent = UserAgent::createFromGlobal();, (*10)
Installation ------------ ### Install via Composer Create a file called `composer.json` in your project directory and put the following into it:
{ "require": { "flamecore/user-agent": "dev-master" } } ```, (*11)
Install Composer if you don't already have it present on your system:, (*12)
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Use Composer to download the vendor libraries and generate the vendor/autoload.php file:, (*13)
$ php composer.phar install
