Microsoft Edge regex for user agent

Question

Is there a fool-proof regex (I'm using PHP) to match the Microsoft Edge user agent string?

Answer 1

As well most browsers you can simply just say the browser name in the comparison string as shown below.

$user_agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; 
preg_match('/Edge/i', $user_agent)

This worked for me. Hope it does for you too.

Answer 2

I would HIGHLY recommend

1. not using us-sniffing. There is almost no reason to do so.
2. if you absolutely really have to, using a library like ua-parser rather than rolling your own.
