Detect user's browser with PHP

11/14/2012

You can use this value with get_browser() to tailor your page's output to the capabilities of the user agent.

By php.net, get_browser attempts to determine the capabilities of the user's browser, by looking up the browser's information in the browscap.ini file.

Note:

In order for this to work, your browscap configuration setting in php.ini must point to the correct location of the browscap.ini file on your system.

browscap.ini is not bundled with PHP, but you may find an up-to-date » php_browscap.ini file here.

While browscap.ini contains information on many browsers, it relies on user updates to keep the database current. The format of the file is fairly self-explanatory.

Listing all information about the users browser
<?php
/*

*/
$browser = get_browser(null, true);
print_r($browser);

output something similar to:
Array
(
    [browser_name_regex] => ^mozilla/5\.0 (windows; .; windows nt 5\.1; .*rv:.*) gecko/.* firefox/0\.9.*$
    [browser_name_pattern] => Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; ?; Windows NT 5.1; *rv:*) Gecko/* Firefox/0.9*
    [parent] => Firefox 0.9
    [platform] => WinXP
    [browser] => Firefox
    [version] => 0.9
    [majorver] => 0
