How to get exact browser name and version?
PhpJavascriptJqueryBrowserPhp Problem Overview
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.
Php Solutions
Solution 1 - Php
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] =>
)
Solution 2 - Php
this JavaScript give you the browser name and the version,
var browser = '';
var browserVersion = 0;
if (/Opera[\/\s](\d+\.\d+)/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
browser = 'Opera';
} else if (/MSIE (\d+\.\d+);/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
browser = 'MSIE';
} else if (/Navigator[\/\s](\d+\.\d+)/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
browser = 'Netscape';
} else if (/Chrome[\/\s](\d+\.\d+)/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
browser = 'Chrome';
} else if (/Safari[\/\s](\d+\.\d+)/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
browser = 'Safari';
/Version[\/\s](\d+\.\d+)/.test(navigator.userAgent);
browserVersion = new Number(RegExp.$1);
} else if (/Firefox[\/\s](\d+\.\d+)/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
browser = 'Firefox';
}
if(browserVersion === 0){
browserVersion = parseFloat(new Number(RegExp.$1));
}
alert(browser + "*" + browserVersion);
Solution 3 - Php
Got an awesome function here.
<?php
function getBrowser() {
$u_agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$bname = 'Unknown';
$platform = 'Unknown';
$version= "";
//First get the platform?
if (preg_match('/linux/i', $u_agent)) {
$platform = 'linux';
}elseif (preg_match('/macintosh|mac os x/i', $u_agent)) {
$platform = 'mac';
}elseif (preg_match('/windows|win32/i', $u_agent)) {
$platform = 'windows';
}
// Next get the name of the useragent yes seperately and for good reason
if(preg_match('/MSIE/i',$u_agent) && !preg_match('/Opera/i',$u_agent)){
$bname = 'Internet Explorer';
$ub = "MSIE";
}elseif(preg_match('/Firefox/i',$u_agent)){
$bname = 'Mozilla Firefox';
$ub = "Firefox";
}elseif(preg_match('/OPR/i',$u_agent)){
$bname = 'Opera';
$ub = "Opera";
}elseif(preg_match('/Chrome/i',$u_agent) && !preg_match('/Edge/i',$u_agent)){
$bname = 'Google Chrome';
$ub = "Chrome";
}elseif(preg_match('/Safari/i',$u_agent) && !preg_match('/Edge/i',$u_agent)){
$bname = 'Apple Safari';
$ub = "Safari";
}elseif(preg_match('/Netscape/i',$u_agent)){
$bname = 'Netscape';
$ub = "Netscape";
}elseif(preg_match('/Edge/i',$u_agent)){
$bname = 'Edge';
$ub = "Edge";
}elseif(preg_match('/Trident/i',$u_agent)){
$bname = 'Internet Explorer';
$ub = "MSIE";
}
// finally get the correct version number
$known = array('Version', $ub, 'other');
$pattern = '#(?<browser>' . join('|', $known) .
')[/ ]+(?<version>[0-9.|a-zA-Z.]*)#';
if (!preg_match_all($pattern, $u_agent, $matches)) {
// we have no matching number just continue
}
// see how many we have
$i = count($matches['browser']);
if ($i != 1) {
//we will have two since we are not using 'other' argument yet
//see if version is before or after the name
if (strripos($u_agent,"Version") < strripos($u_agent,$ub)){
$version= $matches['version'][0];
}else {
$version= $matches['version'][1];
}
}else {
$version= $matches['version'][0];
}
// check if we have a number
if ($version==null || $version=="") {$version="?";}
return array(
'userAgent' => $u_agent,
'name' => $bname,
'version' => $version,
'platform' => $platform,
'pattern' => $pattern
);
}
// now try it
$ua=getBrowser();
$yourbrowser= "Your browser: " . $ua['name'] . " " . $ua['version'] . " on " .$ua['platform'] . " reports: <br >" . $ua['userAgent'];
print_r($yourbrowser);
?>

This solved my problem of browser detection, I hope, this will also help you. Thank you.
Solution 6 - Php
Use get_browser() function.
It can give you output like this:
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
....

There is a conflict between (Safari) and (Opera) and (Chrome) !!!
-
The above codes couldn't work properly
This is my code, and it works very well without any conflict:
function ExactBrowserName()
{
$ExactBrowserNameUA=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
if (strpos(strtolower($ExactBrowserNameUA), "safari/") and strpos(strtolower($ExactBrowserNameUA), "opr/")) {
// OPERA
$ExactBrowserNameBR="Opera";
} elseIf (strpos(strtolower($ExactBrowserNameUA), "safari/") and strpos(strtolower($ExactBrowserNameUA), "chrome/")) {
// CHROME
$ExactBrowserNameBR="Chrome";
} elseIf (strpos(strtolower($ExactBrowserNameUA), "msie")) {
// INTERNET EXPLORER
$ExactBrowserNameBR="Internet Explorer";
} elseIf (strpos(strtolower($ExactBrowserNameUA), "firefox/")) {
// FIREFOX
$ExactBrowserNameBR="Firefox";
} elseIf (strpos(strtolower($ExactBrowserNameUA), "safari/") and strpos(strtolower($ExactBrowserNameUA), "opr/")==false and strpos(strtolower($ExactBrowserNameUA), "chrome/")==false) {
// SAFARI
$ExactBrowserNameBR="Safari";
} else {
// OUT OF DATA
$ExactBrowserNameBR="OUT OF DATA";
};
return $ExactBrowserNameBR;
}
Solution 8 - Php
Since some codes gave a wrong result for Edge and Opera, I suggest to try this code:
$popularBrowsers = ["Opera","OPR/", "Edg", "Chrome", "Safari", "Firefox", "MSIE", "Trident"];
$userAgent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$userBrowser = 'Other less popular browsers';
foreach ($popularBrowsers as $browser) {
if (strpos($userAgent, $browser) !== false) {
$userBrowser = $browser;
break;
}
}
switch ($userBrowser) {
case 'OPR/':
$userBrowser = 'Opera';
break;
case 'MSIE':
$userBrowser = 'Internet Explorer';
break;
case 'Trident':
$userBrowser = 'Internet Explorer';
break;
case 'Edg':
$userBrowser = 'Microsoft Edge';
break;
}
echo "Your browser: " . $userBrowser;
For information about agent strings for different browsers and some similarities in them, please refer to: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/User-Agent

Use 51Degrees.com device detection solution to detect browser name, vendor and version.
First, follow the 4-step guide to incorporate device detector in to your project. When I say incorporate I mean download archive with PHP code and database file, extract them and include 2 files. That's all there is to do to incorporate.
Once that's done you can use the following properties to get browser information:
$_51d['BrowserName'] - Gives you the name of the browser (Safari, Molto, Motorola, MStarBrowser etc).
$_51d['BrowserVendor'] - Gives you the company who created browser.
$_51d['BrowserVersion'] - Version number of the browser
