php - How to get exact browser name and version?

Question

I have tried some solutions but I am unable to get exact name and version:

I am trying following code:

$browserAgent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
echo $browserAgent;

Output of above code:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.68 Safari/534.24

But I am using:

Google Chrome 11.0.696.68
on   
Ubuntu 10.04

So I can find in Chrome/11.0.696.68 in output string but it is also showing some other browsers names that is confusing to extract exact browser name/version from string.

Answer 1

Use get_browser()

From Manual:

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . "

";

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

Will return:

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*/
