README
This is a userland replacement for PHP's native get_browser()
function, which is officially supported by the Browser Capabilities Project.
Note that you are currently viewing the 4.x series. If you're looking for the unsupported 2.x version, please read the documentation for that branch here.
Installation
Run the command below to install via Composer
composer require browscap/browscap-php
Then you may identify the current user agent this way:
$cache = new \Roave\DoctrineSimpleCache\SimpleCacheAdapter($doctrineFileCache); // or maybe any other PSR-16 compatible caches $logger = new \Monolog\Logger('name'); // or maybe any other PSR-3 compatible logger $browscap = new \BrowscapPHP\Browscap($cache, $logger); $info = $browscap->getBrowser();
Recommended Setup
Before you can start, you have to download the browscap.ini file and convert it into a cache. There are two ways.
a. Download the file and convert it in two steps. The downloaded file will be stored in a local file, but there is no check
if the remote file has changed. If your cache gets corrupted you only need to rerun the convert
command.
vendor/bin/browscap-php browscap:fetch vendor/bin/browscap-php browscap:convert
b. Download the file and convert it in one step. The downloaded file will not be stored in a local file, but there is a check if the remote file has changed. If your cache gets corrupted you have clean the cache and restart the process.
vendor/bin/browscap-php browscap:update
If you want to autoupdate the used cache, we recommend a separate cron job that calls the command listed above.
What's changed in version 4.x
BC breaks listed
- Strict type hints have been added throughout. This may break some type assumptions made in earlier versions.
CheckUpdateCommand
,ConvertCommand
,LogfileCommand
,ParserCommand
,UpdateCommand
removedsetCache
methods so that caches must now be constructor-injected- Many classes are now
final
- use composition instead of inheritance PropertyFormatter
now assumes any non-truthy values arefalse
checkUpdate
method now throws an exception if we could not determine the "remote" version, or if there is no version in cache already.log
method was removed
Changes
- for caching the Doctrine Cache package is used
- Any other Cache compatible with PSR-16 could be used
- instead of the
debug
flag for the CLI commands the verbose flag has to be used
What's changed in version 3.x
Changes
- the namespace was changed to
BrowscapPHP
- the
Browscap
class was split into pieces- for caching the WurflCache package is used
- for downloading the browscap.ini the Guzzle HTTP package is used
Removed features
- the autoupdate function was removed
- all public properties were removed
New features
- now it is possible to use other caches than the file cache (see the WurflCache package formore information)
- now it is possible to write your own formatter to change the output format
- now it is possbile to set a PSR-3 compatible logger
Setup Examples
Update your setup to version 4.x
This is the base setup in version 3.x.
$bc = new \BrowscapPHP\Browscap(); $adapter = new \WurflCache\Adapter\File([\WurflCache\Adapter\File::DIR => $cacheDir]); $bc->setCache($adapter); $logger = new \Monolog\Logger('name'); $bc->setLogger($logger); $result = $bc->getBrowser();
Change this to the base setup for version 4.x. to use the current cache directory
$fileCache = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\FilesystemCache($cacheDir); $cache = new \Roave\DoctrineSimpleCache\SimpleCacheAdapter($fileCache); $logger = new \Monolog\Logger('name'); $bc = new \BrowscapPHP\Browscap($cache, $logger); $result = $bc->getBrowser();
NOTE: You may use any other cache which implements the PSR-16 interface.
Using the full browscap.ini file
$bc = new \BrowscapPHP\BrowscapUpdater(); $bc->update(\BrowscapPHP\Helper\IniLoaderInterface::PHP_INI_FULL);
Setting up a proxy configuration
If you are behind a proxy or need a spcific configuration, you have to set up a client instance. See into the Guzzle documentation for more information about this.
$proxyConfig = [ 'proxy' => [ 'http' => 'tcp://localhost:8125', 'https' => 'tcp://localhost:8124', ], ]; $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client($proxyConfig); $bcu = new BrowscapUpdater(); $bcu->setClient($client);
Usage Examples
Taking the user agent from the global $_SERVER variable
$bc = new \BrowscapPHP\Browscap(); $current_browser = $bc->getBrowser();
Using a sample useragent
$bc = new \BrowscapPHP\Browscap($cache, $logger); $current_browser = $bc->getBrowser($the_user_agent);
the CLI commands
NOTE: If you don't want to use a file cache, you could not use the CLI commands. It is not possible to use other caches there at the moment. NOTE: Each operation (fetch, update, check-update) which fetches data from the remote host browscap.org may run into the rate limit of that site. If this happens an Exception is thrown.
Each CLI command returns zero
if everything went fine.
check-update
If you only want to check if a new version of the browscap.ini is available, you can use the check-update
command.
vendor/bin/browscap-php browscap:check-update
options
cache
(optional) the relative path to your cache directory
return codes
- 1: no cached version found
- 2: no new version availble
- 3: an error occured while checking the cached version
- 4: an error occured while fetching the remote version
- 5: an other error occured
fetch
The fetch
command downloads an ini file from browscap.org.
vendor/bin/browscap-php browscap:fetch
options
cache
(optional) the relative path to your cache directoryremote-file
(optional) only required if you dont want to download the standerd file, possible values arePHP_BrowscapINI
downloads the standard file (default)Lite_PHP_BrowscapINI
downloads the lite fileFull_PHP_BrowscapINI
downloads the full file
file
(optional) the relative path to the local file where the remote content is stored
return codes
- 3: an error occured while checking the cached version
- 9: an error occured while fetching the remote data
- 10: an other error occured
convert
The convert
command reads a local stored browscap.ini file and writes the contents into a cache.
vendor/bin/browscap-php browscap:convert
options
file
(optional) the relative path to the local file where the remote content is stored, this should be the same file as in the fetch commandcache
(optional) the relative path to your cache directory
return codes
- 6: the name of the file to convert is missing
- 7: the file to convert is not available or not readable
- 8: an other error occured while reading the file
update
The update
command downloads an ini file from browscap.org and writes the contents into a cache. No local files are created.
vendor/bin/browscap-php browscap:update
options
remote-file
(optional) only required if you dont want to download the standerd file, possible values arePHP_BrowscapINI
downloads the standard file (default)Lite_PHP_BrowscapINI
downloads the lite fileFull_PHP_BrowscapINI
downloads the full file
cache
(optional) the relative path to your cache directory
return codes
- 3: an error occured while checking the cached version
- 9: an error occured while fetching the remote data
- 10: an other error occured
parse
The parse
command parses a given user agent and writes the result to the console.
vendor/bin/browscap-php browscap:parse
options
user-agent
(required) the user agent which should be parsedcache
(optional) the relative path to your cache directory
return codes
- 11: an other error occured while parsing the useragent
CLI Examples
Updating the cache using the full browscap.ini file
Note: Both ways to create/update the cache will use the standard
mode file as default.
If you want more detailed information you may change this with the remote-file
option.
Please use the help function this parameter.
vendor/bin/browscap-php browscap:update --remote-file Full_PHP_BrowscapINI
Updating a custom cache dir
Each operation expect fetch uses a cache inside the resources
directory inside the project. If you update this library with
composer, the cache is cleared also. If you want to avoid this and want to set your own cache folder,
you can use the cache
option. If you do this, you have to set a Cache Instance for this this path.
vendor/bin/browscap-php browscap:update --cache ./browscap-cache
