README
A PHP desktop/mobile user agent parser with bot detection, based on Mobile Detect and CrawlerDetect with desktop support and additional functionality.
Note
This is a modified version of jenssegers/agent to support PHP 8.0 up and MobileDetect 4.x.
Installation
Install using composer:
composer require dimtrovich/user-agent
Laravel (optional)
Add the service provider in config/app.php:
Dimtrovich\UserAgent\Extensions\Laravel\AgentServiceProvider::class,
And add the UserAgent alias to config/app.php:
'UserAgent' => Dimtrovich\UserAgent\Extensions\Laravel\Facades\Agent::class,
BlitzPHP (optional)
Add the service provider in app/Config/app.php:
Dimtrovich\UserAgent\Extensions\BlitzPHP\AgentProvider::class,
And add the UserAgent alias to app/Config/app.php:
'UserAgent' => Dimtrovich\UserAgent\Extensions\BlitzPHP\Facades\Agent::class,
Basic Usage
Start by creating an Agent instance (or use the Agent Facade if you are using Laravel):
use Dimtrovich\UserAgent\Agent; $agent = new Agent();
If you want to parse user agents other than the current request in CLI scripts for example, you can use the setUserAgent and setHttpHeaders methods:
$agent->setUserAgent('Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/537.13+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.7 Safari/534.57.2'); $agent->setHttpHeaders($headers);
All of the original Mobile Detect methods are still available, check out some original examples at https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect/wiki/Code-examples
Is?
Check for a certain property in the user agent.
$agent->is('Windows'); $agent->is('Firefox'); $agent->is('iPhone'); $agent->is('macOS');
Magic is-method
Magic method that does the same as the previous is() method:
$agent->isAndroidOS(); $agent->isNexus(); $agent->isSafari();
Mobile detection
Check for mobile device:
$agent->isMobile(); $agent->isTablet();
Match user agent
Search the user agent with a regular expression:
$agent->match('regexp');
Additional Functionality
Accept languages
Get the browser's accept languages. Example:
$languages = $agent->languages(); // ['nl-nl', 'nl', 'en-us', 'en']
Device name
Get the device name, if mobile. (iPhone, Nexus, AsusTablet, ...)
$device = $agent->device();
Operating system name
Get the operating system. (Ubuntu, Windows, OS X, ...)
$platform = $agent->platform();
Browser name
Get the browser name. (Chrome, IE, Safari, Firefox, ...)
$browser = $agent->browser();
Desktop detection
Check if the user is using a desktop device.
$agent->isDesktop();
This checks if a user is not a mobile device, tablet or robot.
Phone detection
Check if the user is using a phone device.
$agent->isPhone();
Robot detection
Check if the user is a robot. This uses jaybizzle/crawler-detect to do the actual robot detection.
$agent->isRobot();
Robot name
Get the robot name.
$robot = $agent->robot();
Browser/platform version
MobileDetect recently added a version method that can get the version number for components. To get the browser or platform version you can use:
$browser = $agent->browser(); $version = $agent->version($browser); $platform = $agent->platform(); $version = $agent->version($platform);
Note, the version method is still in beta, so it might not return the correct result.
