Standalone replacement for php's native get_browser() function

Browser Capabilities PHP Project

This is a userland replacement for PHP's native get_browser() function, which is officially supported by the Browser Capabilities Project., _(*1)

Forked from https://github.com/GaretJax/phpbrowscap., _(*2)

, _(*3)

Installation

Run the command below to install via Composer, _(*4)

composer require browscap/browscap-php

Then you may identify the current user agent like so:, _(*5)

use phpbrowscap\Browscap;

$browscap = new Browscap();
$info = $browscap->getBrowser();

Recommended Setup

It is highly recommended that you disable the auto update functionality, and create a background cron script to perform the update. This way, you do not make another request every time. So your usual usage would look like this:, _(*6)

use phpbrowscap\Browscap;

$browscap = new Browscap($cacheDir);
$browscap->doAutoUpdate = false;
$info = $browscap->getBrowser();

And you could write a cron script such as this, to run once a day:, _(*7)

use phpbrowscap\Browscap;

$browscap = new Browscap($cacheDir);
$browscap->updateCache();
