|
|
## What It Is
|
|
|
|
A simple, streamlined PHP user-agent parser!
|
|
|
|
Licensed under the MIT license: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Why Use This
|
|
|
|
You have your choice in user-agent parsers. This one detects **all modern browsers** in a very light, quick, understandable fashion.
|
|
It is less than 200 lines of code, and consists of just three regular expressions!
|
|
It can also correctly identify exotic versions of IE others fail on.
|
|
|
|
It offers 100% unit test coverage, is installable via Composer, and is very easy to use.
|
|
|
|
## What It Does Not Do
|
|
|
|
### OS Versions
|
|
|
|
User-agent strings **are not** a reliable source of OS Version!
|
|
|
|
- Many agents simply don't send the information.
|
|
- Others provide varying levels of accuracy.
|
|
- Parsing Windows versions alone almost nearly doubles the size of the code.
|
|
|
|
I'm much more interested in keeping this thing *tiny* and accurate than adding niché features and would rather focus on things that can be **done well**.
|
|
|
|
All that said, there is the start of a [branch to do it](https://github.com/donatj/PhpUserAgent/tree/os_version_detection) I created for a client if you want to poke it, I update it from time to time, but frankly if you need to *reliably detect OS Version*, using user-agent isn't the way to do it. I'd go with JavaScript.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- PHP 5.3.0+
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
PHP User Agent is available through Packagist via Composer.
|
|
|
|
```json

|
{
|
|
"require": {
|
|
"donatj/phpuseragentparser": "*"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Sample Usage
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$ua_info = parse_user_agent();
|
|
/*

array(
