get_browser — Надає інформацію про можливості браузера користувача
Намагається визначити можливості браузера користувача, шукаючи інформацію про браузер в файлі browscap.ini file.
user_agentРядок, яким позначається браузер користувача. Початково, використовується значення HTTP-заголовка User-Agent; тим не менше, ви можете змінити це (наприклад, щоб отримати інфу за інший браузер), передаючи значення для даного параметра.
Можна передавати для цього параметра значення null.
return_array
Якщо встановлено true, ця функція буде повертати масив
(array), а не об'єкт (object).
Повертається інформація у вигляді об'єкта чи масива, який містить
декілька елементів даних, репрезентуючи, наприклад, старшу і меншу (major,
minor) цифру версії браузера та рядок ID; Значення true/false для
позначень наявності такої функціональності як фрейми, JavaScript, та
куки; і т.д.
Причому, що стосується cookies, то тут йдеться про те,
що браузер має можливість приймати куки, але це не показує, чи у користувача
підключена можливість приймати куки, чи ні. Єдина можливість перевірити чи
приймаються куки - це відправити їх через setcookie(),
перезавантажити, та перевірити наявність значення.
Приклад #1 Вивід інформації про браузер користувача
<?php
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . "\n\n";
$browser = get_browser(null, true);
print_r($browser);
?>Поданий вище приклад виведе щось схоже на:

Зауваження:
Для того щоб ця функціональність працювала, параметр browscap у файлі конфігурації php.ini повинен вказувати на коректне місцерозташування файла browscap.ini у вашій системі.
browscap.ini не поставляється з PHP, але ви можете знайти йоо свіжу версію тут - » php_browscap.ini.
Хоча у файлі browscap.ini міститься інформація про більшість браузерів, її потрібно оновлювати для підтримки бази даних в актуальному стані. Формат записів у файлі є досить очевидним.
As of PHP 7.0.15 and 7.1.1 and higher, get_browser() now performs much better - reportedly 100x faster. The Changelog, bug description, and solution are here:
http://php.net/ChangeLog-7.php (search for get_browser())
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70490
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2242This function is too slow for todays needs.
If you need browser / device / operating system detection, please try one of listed packages here: https://github.com/ThaDafinser/UserAgentParserIf you ONLY need a very fast and simple function to detect the browser name (update to May 2016):
<?php
function get_browser_name($user_agent)
{
if (strpos($user_agent, 'Opera') || strpos($user_agent, 'OPR/')) return 'Opera';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Edge')) return 'Edge';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Chrome')) return 'Chrome';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Safari')) return 'Safari';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Firefox')) return 'Firefox';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'MSIE') || strpos($user_agent, 'Trident/7')) return 'Internet Explorer';
return 'Other';
}
// Usage:
echo get_browser_name($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
?>
This function also resolves the trouble with Edge (that contains in the user agent the string "Safari" and "Chrome"), with Chrome (contains the string "Safari") and IE11 (that do not contains 'MSIE' like all other IE versions).
Note that "strpos" is the fastest function to check a string (far better than "preg_match") and Opera + Edge + Chrome + Safari + Firefox + Internet Explorer are the most used browsers today (over 97%).Since browser detection can be tricky and very slow, I compared a few packages.

The consistent winner (by speed, not necessarily coverage) by far is:
https://github.com/sinergi/php-browser-detectorTo my surprise I found that none of the get_browser alternatives output the correct name / version combination that I was looking for using Opera or Chrome. They either give the wrong name eg Safari when in fact it should be Chrome and if the ua string includes a version number as with the latest versions of Chrome and Opera the wrong number is reported. So I took bits and pieces from the various examples and combined them and added a check for version.
<?php

$u_agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

$platform = 'mac';
}
elseif (preg_match('/windows|win32/i', $u_agent)) {
$platform = 'windows';
}
// Next get the name of the useragent yes seperately and for good reason

His function works for most human traffic; added a few lines to cover the most common bot traffic. Also fixed issue with function failing to detect strings at position 0 due to strpos behavior.

https://www.256kilobytes.com/content/show/1922/how-to-parse-a-user-agent-in-php-with-minimal-effortGood news! The latest version of PHP has a performance fix for this function. It's reportedly now 100x faster. See the ChangeLog for specifics.PHP cron script to automatically update browscap.ini. It compares version numbers to determine if update is needed:
<?php
$eol="\r\n"; //set end of line - cron
$fileurl = "https://browscap.org/stream?q=PHP_BrowsCapINI";
$verurl = "https://browscap.org/version-number";
$file = "/path/to/browscap.ini";
//Find current version
$fp = fopen($file, "r+");
while (($line = stream_get_line($fp, 1024 * 1024, "\n")) !== false) {
if(strpos($line,"Version=")===0) {
list($temp, $curver) = explode("=",$line);
break;
}
}
fclose($fp);
echo("Current browscap.ini file version: " . $curver);
//Get browscap.org current version
$newver = file_get_contents($verurl);
echo($eol . "New browscap.ini file version: " . $newver);
//Update if new version available
if($newver > $curver) {
if(file_put_contents($file, file_get_contents($fileurl))) {
echo($eol . "browscap.ini has been updated!");
}
else {
echo($eol . "browscap.ini update failed!");
}
}
else {
echo($eol . "browscap.ini is up to date!");
}
echo($eol . "End of Cron job." . $eol");
?>To automatically update your browscap.ini file on linux servers, you can use this simple shell script:
wget -O /etc/browscap.ini "http://browscap.org/stream?q=Full_PHP_BrowsCapINI"
chmod 664 /etc/browscap.ini
You can put it in the weekly cron job folder usually located in /etc/cron.weekly just don't forget to make the script executable (chmod 775 scriptname).As ruudrp had given the code http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-browser.php#101125, I have added code for Internet Explorer 11

?>Be aware that loading php_browscap.ini via the browscap php.ini setting may consume a non-trivial amount of memory. Current versions are several MB in size (even the “lite” one) and can eat tens of MB of RAM in each PHP process. This happens even if you never call get_browser() since php_browscap.ini is loaded when PHP is starting up.
Make sure to leave the browscap php.ini setting empty if you don’t use get_browser() – maybe you only call it only from PHP Web pages, but not from PHP CLI code.
I’d recommend comparing your processes’ memory consumption with and without php_browscap.ini being loaded. If necesseray, consider creating your own stripped-down copy of php_browscap.ini with just the browsers that are important to you.For those of you using this function to target MSIE, a better idea maybe to use MSIE specific conditional comments. More info: <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512%28VS.85%29.aspx>.
For example to indicate your disregard for users of MSIE 6 or earlier:
<!--[if lt IE 7]>It appears that you are using a <em>very</em> old version of MS Internet Explorer (MSIE). If you seriously want to continue to use MSIE, at least <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/">upgrade</a>.<![endif]-->You should not rely on just this for cross-browser compatibility issues. Good practice would be to include HTML if-statements for IE stylesheets as well as dynamically checking the browser type.Be aware of the fact that this function shows what a specific browser might be able to show, but NOT what the user has turned on/off.
So maybe this function tells you that the browser is abel to to javascript even when javascript is turned off by the user.Be careful about using homegrown versions of these.
For example Francesco R's highly rated [ https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-browser.php#119332 ] version is no longer correct with Edge:
Current Edge is reporting a string similar to:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/127.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/127.0.0.0
Note the "Edg/xxx" instead of "Edge"
While it is trivial to update his code to:
<?php
function get_browser_name($user_agent)
{
if (strpos($user_agent, 'Opera') || strpos($user_agent, 'OPR/')) return 'Opera';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Edg')) return 'Edge';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Chrome')) return 'Chrome';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Safari')) return 'Safari';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Firefox')) return 'Firefox';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'MSIE') || strpos($user_agent, 'Trident/7')) return 'Internet Explorer';
return 'Other';
}
?>
You never know when a value might change in the future.Be careful if you use the "Full" Browscap INI file in your php.ini config: I wondered why each Apache thread took 350MB RAM on my server until I changed the "Full" version by the "Lite" one (45MB to 0.7MB)
Now, each thread takes only 16MB...
So if it is enough for you, use the Lite version!To complete Francesco R, I added the version of the navigator :
function getNavigateur($user_agent)
{
if(empty($user_agent)) {
return array('nav' => 'NC', 'name' => 'NC', 'version' => 'NC');
}
$content_nav['name'] = 'Unknown';
if (strpos($user_agent, 'Opera') || strpos($user_agent, 'OPR/')) {
$content_nav['name'] = 'Opera';
if (strpos($user_agent, 'OPR/')) {
$content_nav['reel_name'] = 'OPR/';
} else {
$content_nav['reel_name'] = 'Opera';
}
}
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Edge')) {
$content_nav['name'] = $content_nav['reel_name'] = 'Edge';
}
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Chrome')) $content_nav['name'] = $content_nav['reel_name'] = 'Chrome';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Safari')) $content_nav['name'] = $content_nav['reel_name'] = 'Safari';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Firefox')) $content_nav['name'] = $content_nav['reel_name'] = 'Firefox';
elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'MSIE') || strpos($user_agent, 'Trident/7') || strpos($user_agent, 'Trident/7.0; rv:')) {
$content_nav['name'] = 'Internet Explorer';
if (strpos($user_agent, 'Trident/7.0; rv:')) {
$content_nav['reel_name'] = 'Trident/7.0; rv:';
} elseif (strpos($user_agent, 'Trident/7')) {
$content_nav['reel_name'] = 'Trident/7';
} else {
$content_nav['reel_name'] = 'Opera';
}
}
$pattern = '#' . $content_nav['reel_name'] . '\/*([0-9\.]*)#';
$matches = array();
if(preg_match($pattern, $user_agent, $matches)) {
$content_nav['version'] = $matches[1];
return $content_nav;
}
return array('name' => $content_nav['name'], 'version' => 'Inconnu');
}
