PHP - Check if the page run on Mobile or Desktop browser

There is a very nice PHP library for detecting mobile clients here: http://mobiledetect.net

Using that it's quite easy to only display content for a mobile:

include 'Mobile_Detect.php';
$detect = new Mobile_Detect();

// Check for any mobile device.
if ($detect->isMobile()){
   // mobile content
}
else {
   // other content for desktops
}

Get source of device with php

You can use a php library for this purpose:

https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect

It has a lot of functions to detect any device eg: isMobile(), isTablet(), isiPhone() etc.

Only for php:

<?php
// include library file
require_once 'Mobile_Detect.php';
$object = new Mobile_Detect;


//Now detect device
<?php
// Return true or false based on your device
$detect->isMobile();
$detect->isTablet();


<?php
// Suppose you want to check for mobile environment.
if ($detect->isMobile()) {
    // Your code here.
}

Mobile devices detect

So... I did it like this... Create a detect.php file and include it to a document. If someone have ideas about it.. please...

<?php

$useragent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; //- Check user browser

/* Do not change anything under this line */
$iPod = stripos($useragent, "iPod");

$Skyfire = stripos($useragent, "Skyfire"); 
$Smart = stripos($useragent, "Smart");
$MobileSafari = stripos($useragent, "Mobile Safari");

//-- Create a variable
$DEVICE = ($iPod||$iPad||$iPhone||$Android||$iOS||$webOS||$Blackberry||$IEMobile||$OperaMini||$Dolphin||$Meego||$Avantgo||$Bada||$Blazer||$Compal||$Elaine||
$Fennec||$Hiptop||$Iris||$Kindle||$Lge||$Maemo||$Midp||$Mmp||$Netfront||$OperaMobi||$Palm||$PalmOS||$Phone||$Plucker||$Pocket||$Psp||$Symbian||$Treo||$Wos||

$GoBrowser||$uZardWeb||$Doris||$Skyfire||$CLDC||$MobileSafari);

?>

Now you can use it like:

  1. Include this file to all file that need to detect user device; you can include it once if you need
    For example: include_once ("path_to_file/detect.php");

  2. Use variable $DEVICE anywhere you need infinity times like:

    <?php if (!$DEVICE) {echo 'This is for all desktop devices text';} else {echo 'This is for all mobile text';}
    ?>

or

!!! Also you can use it like this (if you need to separate info to different devices)

<?php if ($DEVICE=$iPhone) {echo 'This is for iphone devices text';} else if ($DEVICE=$Blackberry) {echo 'This is for Blackberry text';}
?>

That's it. All ingenious is simple! Use it and be happy! */ ?>

How detect user mobile information such as brand and model?

Try this PHP library, it can give you something like user-agent but in array.

Detect mobile browser

Have my user agent code:

<?php

/* USER-AGENTS
================================================== */
function check_user_agent ( $type = NULL ) {
        $user_agent = strtolower ( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] );
        if ( $type == 'bot' ) {
                // matches popular bots
                if ( preg_match ( "/googlebot|adsbot|yahooseeker|yahoobot|msnbot|watchmouse|pingdom\.com|feedfetcher-google/", $user_agent ) ) {
                        return true;
                        // watchmouse|pingdom\.com are "uptime services"
                }
        } else if ( $type == 'browser' ) {
                // matches core browser types
                if ( preg_match ( "/mozilla\/|opera\//", $user_agent ) ) {
                        return true;
                }
        } else if ( $type == 'mobile' ) {
                // matches popular mobile devices that have small screens and/or touch inputs
                // mobile devices have regional trends; some of these will have varying popularity in Europe, Asia, and America
                // detailed demographics are unknown, and South America, the Pacific Islands, and Africa trends might not be represented, here
                if ( preg_match ( "/phone|iphone|itouch|ipod|symbian|android|htc_|htc-|palmos|blackberry|opera mini|iemobile|windows ce|nokia|fennec|hiptop|kindle|mot |mot-|webos\/|samsung|sonyericsson|^sie-|nintendo/", $user_agent ) ) {
                        // these are the most common
                        return true;
                } else if ( preg_match ( "/mobile|pda;|avantgo|eudoraweb|minimo|netfront|brew|teleca|lg;|lge |wap;| wap /", $user_agent ) ) {
                        // these are less common, and might not be worth checking
                        return true;
                }
        }
        return false;
}

?>

How to use:

<?php
$ismobile = check_user_agent('mobile');
if($ismobile) {
