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'] . "\n\n";  $browser = get_browser(null, true); print_r($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*/     [parent] => Firefox 0.9     [platform] => WinXP     [browser] => Firefox     [version] => 0.9     [majorver] => 0     [minorver] => 9     [cssversion] => 2     [frames] => 1     [iframes] => 1     [tables] => 1     [cookies] => 1     [backgroundsounds] =>     [vbscript] =>     [javascript] => 1     [javaapplets] => 1     [activexcontrols] =>     [cdf] =>     [aol] =>     [beta] => 1     [win16] =>     [crawler] =>     [stripper] =>     [wap] =>     [netclr] => )
