Mobile Detect

Motto: "Every business should have a detection script to detect mobile readers."

About

Mobile Detect is a lightweight PHP class for detecting mobile devices (including tablets). It uses the User-Agent string combined with specific HTTP headers to detect the mobile environment.

Why

Your website's content strategy is important! You need a complete toolkit to deliver an experience that is optimized, fast and relevant to your users. Mobile Detect class is a server-side detection tool that can help you with your RWD strategy, it is not a replacement for CSS3 media queries or other forms of client-side feature detection.

How

We're committed to make Mobile_Detect the best open-source mobile detection resource and this is why before each release we're running unit tests and research and update the detection rules on monthly basis.

Example

var detect = new Mobile_Detect(new PhpArray() { }, "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/7B405");

var isMobile = (bool)md.isMobile();
var isTablet = (bool)md.isTablet();

var knownBrowsers = (PhpArray)Mobile_Detect.getBrowsers(ContextExtensions.CurrentContext);
