I'm in need of a way to detect mobile browsers server-side. I'd like a way that requires me to do little to set up and little to maintain, yet still provide me with accurate detection of (at the VERY least) Android, Mobile Safari and Blackberry browsers, along with alternatives like Opera.
I'd like to have at least the majority of the mobile market covered, and I'd really prefer virtually all of the market if it doesn't take much.

The only way to do this is with a huge lookup table of User-Agent: strings. get_browser() would probably be able to do what you want, but you would need to make sure that you keep the browscap file very up to date - new tablet models are being released on a weekly basis.
The get_browser() function in PHP is an inbuilt function that is used to tell the user about the browser's capabilities. This function looks up the user's browscap. ini file and returns the capabilities of the user's browser.
WURLF is the ultimate way for mobile browser detection and a PHP API is available.

I found this one to be very easy to use php-mobile-detect
