php-browser-detector's Issues

Get rid of "Mozilla"

Since Mozilla/5.0 is used everywhere, many "unknown" browsers are simply being detected as Mozilla. There has never been a "mozilla browser", so this is false at any rate.

Based on this NetScape UA history: http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/netscape-history.html, we can summise the following rules:

• Anything with Mozilla/5.0 or higher, which does NOT also contain "Netscape", "Netscape6", "Navigator" or "NS8", is not NetScape.

• Anything lower than Mozilla/5.0, which also contains the word "compatible" or "like", which does NOT also contain "Netscape", "Netscape6", "Navigator" or "NS8", is not Netscape.

• Anything which contains the exact version "Mozilla/4.0" is not netscape.

• Anything lower than Mozilla/5.0, except the exact version "Mozilla/4.0" or UAs containing the words "compatible" or "like", probably are genuinely NetScape

Chrome on IOS

Hi, just a quick notice.

at the moment Chrome for iOS is recognized as Safari. Chrome uses CriOS/xxx in the User Agent.

Browser\Browser::isMobile() doesn't work.

Hi,
I recently started using this library with Composer (https://packagist.org/packages/gavroche/browser) on my website. Here is what I tried:

if (Browser\Browser::isMobile() === "true") {
    header("Location: /mobile/");
    die();
}

This had no effect on redirecting mobile browsers to "/mobile" and did not cause any errors. Also, there was no output or errors when I tried this:

echo Browser\Browser::isMobile();

Am I doing something wrong or is this an issue? Thanks in advance for any help.

Note: I switched to this library from browscap (http://tempdownloads.browserscap.com/) which isn't updated very often. Should I switch back?

This cache store does not support tagging

We are getting issues as we use a cache driver that does not support a file or database cache driver.

BadMethodCallException · This cache store does not support tagging.
.....
$userActivity->uniqid = request()->token;
}
$location = geoip()->getLocation();
$browser = new \Sinergi\BrowserDetector\Browser();
$userActivity->updated_at = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
.....

Perhaps a good idea to add a note to the README on this? We will look into Redis or Memcached.

You should unite with https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect

It would be much better tool. That's all I wanted to say.

Windows 10

Detect Windows 10

$browser->getBrowser() does not work

Instead $browser->isBrowser(Browser\Browser::Firefox) should be used. I think the docs should be updated accordingly (maybe for other functions too). Great work by the way.

Cant detect Blackberry

it comes back as Unknow OS, and Safari Browser

Chrome OS detected as OS X

(thanks for the useful package btw)

add_windows_version_8_1

Hey Gabriel,

I found there are some usage to detect windows version 8.1, which is mapped to 6.3 in the user-agent. Is it ok to add this into OsDetector? Thanks.

Opera detected as Chrome

Hello,

installed Opera 21 on Mac OS X. It is detected as Chrome.

Detecting IE in Compatibility Mode

Wondering if BrowserDetector::checkBrowserInternetExplorer() would benefit from a mechanism to detect IE's true version when in compatibility mode. I believe if the user agent string contains the combination of strings below, the true version at hand can determined. Of course, it's not a simple as just returning the actual version, as IE11 in compatibility mode renders pages more akin to 7, for instance, but some mechanism by which to determine both the actual version and compatibility mode would be quite useful. Thank you for all the hard work on what is really a very nice package!

MSIE 7.0 && Trident/7.0 is IE11 in compatibility mode
MSIE 7.0 && Trident/6.0 is IE10 in compatibility mode
MSIE 7.0 && Trident/5.0 is IE9 in compatibility mode
MSIE 7.0 && Trident/4.0 is IE8 in compatibility mode

Unexpected usage of "USE" :-(

Hi guys

I installed using composer
require ($home_dir . "/browser_detect/vendor/autoload.php");
use Sinergi\BrowserDetector\Os;
I get an error on the 2nd line above: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'use' (T_USE)
$home_dir is well set and the autoload.php exists there (points to the autoload_real.php in the composer directory under "vendor"

What's wrong?

Thanks in advance

Should not throw Exception, when could not detect browser

I found problem that, if this script can't find some information about browser, it throw Exception. Instead, it should return information, that it found and false or null, if something not found, but not Exception. To test this, I used this chrome plugin: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/random-hide-user-agent/einpaelgookohagofgnnkcfjbkkgepnp. Set User Agent to "Chrome" and this script will return:
Undefined offset: 1 in ../vendor/gabrielbull/browser/src/Browser/BrowserDetector.php:280

Unrecognised bots/user agents

Cancel - i'm doing a pull request instead.

wrong chrome version

I have newest chrome version (62.0.3202) but this package gives me version 10 .
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_version_history

$browser = new \Sinergi\BrowserDetector\Browser();
$browserVersion = $browser->getVersion();

Always "Unknown" browser

Copy one file "Browser.php" and used it as a readme.
But always get "Unknwon" browser.

What am I doing wrong?

iPad/Tablet Detection

It would be very handy to have the capability to determine tablets, specifically in my case iPad's. I'm happy to get involved in implementing this if you think it's of any value? I'm just not quite sure where it fit's in as this library is browser and OS specific and obviously this is a device specific feature.

Test suite - where are the user agents?

Hello,

i'm currently searching for the user agent tests

I just found one here https://github.com/sinergi/php-browser-detector/blob/master/tests/BrowserDetector/Tests/_files/UserAgentStrings.xml

Where are the others?

SamsungBrowser

The stock browser used by new Samsung Androids is significantly different compared to both Chrome and old android stock browsers. One important difference for instance, is that Samsung Browser does not support browser notifications (among other important differences.) I think it would be good if the library would not show this browser as Chrome.

Avoid possible namespaces conflicts

Current namespace can cause namespace conflicts. A valid namespace should starting by the vendor name.

Firefox on iOs is detected as Safari

When checking for firefox the first criteria to is the absence of 'safari' in the user agent string.

but on iOS 'safari' appears (@see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/User-Agent/Firefox)

Instead of 'Firefox/version' 'FxiOS/version' is used.

Hence firefox on iOS is identified as Safari with version:unkown.

IN:

Sinergi\BrowserDetector\BrowserDetector

public static function checkBrowserFirefox()
    {
        if (stripos(self::$userAgentString, 'safari') === false) {
            if (preg_match("/Firefox[\/ \(]([^ ;\)]+)/i", self::$userAgentString, $matches)) {
                if (isset($matches[1])) {
                    self::$browser->setVersion($matches[1]);
                }
                self::$browser->setName(Browser::FIREFOX);

                return true;
            } elseif (preg_match('/Firefox$/i', self::$userAgentString, $matches)) {
                self::$browser->setVersion('');
                self::$browser->setName(Browser::FIREFOX);

                return true;
            }
        }

        return false;
    }

Detect Facebook and Twitter browsers

How to detect Android Stock Browser?

I am not sure how to detect default browser on Android 4.3 and lower

Tie Android Browser version to Android OS version

Firstly, I propose that Browser::NAVIGATOR be changed to Browser::ANDROID - the official name of the app is "Android Browser", Navigator doesn't appear.

The detection of the Version/4.0 string is supposed to be correct, but the fact is that /every/ version of the Android Browser reports as Version/4.0.

Since the Android Browser is a core part of the Android OS, I propose that the OS version be used.

Some info to back up my proposal:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.2.2; de-de; SM-T110 Build/JDQ39) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.30

Here the Android browser is using WebKit

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.4.4; SM-G360H Build/KTU84P) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/33.0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36

Here the Android browser is using Blink

The layout engine was upgraded to Blink with the release of Android 4.4, which makes it almost an entirely new browser, but yet both are reported as Version/4.0.

Drop PHP 5.3 Support?

What about dropping PHP 5.3 support? Even 5.4 will stop getting security updates this september (2015). I would even argue for just having 5.5.9 (Symfony 3 and Laravel 5.1 uses this version).

$language = BrowserDetector::getLanguage();
$scriptedAgent = BrowserDetector::getScriptedAgent();

BrowserDetector::isScriptedAgent();
BrowserDetector::isChromeFrame();
BrowserDetector::isWebkit();
BrowserDetector::isFacebookWebView();
BrowserDetector::isTwitterWebView();
BrowserDetector::isCompatibilityMode();
