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.

  • There are a lot of good UserAgent parsers around. You can try one of the parser listed here https://github.com/ThaDafinser/UserAgentParser – ThaDafinser Jan 18 '16 at 11:28
  • Make sure you have browscap.ini file accessible through php.ini for any of the suggested solutions to work properly. Check the notes at: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-browser.php#101125 – Jerry Ajay Sep 28 '20 at 17:50

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

    You need browscap.ini for this to work. *browscap.ini is not bundled with PHP ... it relies on user updates to keep the database current.* Which makes its usage troublesome. – sumid Oct 09 '13 at 01:04

    Remember, that `get_browser` uses the browsercap.ini, which is an fat file with currently >2MByte. Using this function results in processing that big content, which could result in broken scripts, if you use that function multiple times in one script. – The Bndr Mar 14 '14 at 10:05

    maybe you can use this $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] this is a constant magic in PHP – simon Oct 13 '19 at 06:37

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 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);

    any reason for downvote? if the reason is, this is not PHP, did you see he mentioned PHP in the question? if he only want to get PHP answers why question is tag to the JavaScript and jQuery? – Chamika Sandamal Jan 06 '12 at 07:12

    +1 Answer in jQuery and JavaScript are also acceptable. That is why I added these tags. – Awan Jan 06 '12 at 07:24

    Can you test the script in 2015. with IE its showing nothing. –  Dec 07 '15 at 20:32

    In 2019, Edge and opera will return = Chrome – webchun May 02 '19 at 03:22
  • @webchun I think it's because Edge uses Chromium – Nanoo Jul 26 '20 at 08:49
  • I think a complete and precise answer should return Edge and Opera in Edge and Opera, not Chrome, like Some other codes on this page. I am right? – Nasim B. D Nov 22 '20 at 18:57

    The class cannot detect IE11. In the beginning of `function checkBrowserInternetExplorer()` add: `if( stripos($this->_agent,'Trident/7.0; rv:11.0') !== false ) { $this->setBrowser(self::BROWSER_IE); $this->setVersion('11.0'); return true; } else if( ... ` – Avatar Mar 31 '14 at 08:09

    A rewrite of that class is [available](https://github.com/Wolfcast/BrowserDetection). It support natively IE 11. – AlexV Jun 06 '14 at 14:19

I have created a function in PHP language to get browser name, browser version, operating system (windows/linux etc.) along with device type (desktop / mobile / tablet).

function getBrowserInfo(){
    $browserInfo = array('user_agent'=>'','browser'=>'','browser_version'=>'','os_platform'=>'','pattern'=>'', 'device'=>'');

    $u_agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; 
    $bname = 'Unknown';
    $ub = 'Unknown';
    $version = "";
    $platform = 'Unknown';

    $deviceType='Desktop';

This solved my problem of browser detection, I hope, this will also help you. Thank you.

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;
}

    I modified this function, to follow PSR-2 standards and to detect IE11. [Here it is.](http://codepad.org/9nlGer9B) Sorry to rely on an external website, but comments' limits forced me to, and I do not believe it is a different solution. Tested with Opera, Chrome, Firefox and IE. I do not have Safari installed, sorry. – tleb Jun 25 '15 at 20:15

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

Got this function here and updated. It works with Edge browser.
