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.
Forked from https://github.com/GaretJax/phpbrowscap.
Installation
Run the command below to install via Composer
composer require browscap/browscap-php
Then you may identify the current user agent like so:
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:
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:
use phpbrowscap\Browscap;
$browscap = new Browscap($cacheDir);
$browscap->updateCache();
