    Client environment detection is not reliable and often leads to false assumptions or missing information. This is due to the fact that it is based on insecure information. Insecure because it is under the sole control of the client, so can be filtered or manipulated at will. – arkascha Mar 31 '16 at 06:44

Pleas try using this function,

echo php_uname();
echo PHP_OS;

since codeigniter is written in php, this will work, you can also refer to the php doc here http://php.net/manual/en/function.php-uname.php

Hope this will help

You can use $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] to get client agent in PHP, User_Agent is one information in HTTP REQUEST HEAD so every client accessing your server will send this information to your server, but it not reliable and can be faked.

$this->load->library('user_agent');

if ($this->agent->is_browser()){

$agent = $this->agent->browser().' '.$this->agent->version();

} elseif ($this->agent->is_robot()){

$agent = $this->agent->robot();

} elseif ($this->agent->is_mobile()){

$agent = $this->agent->mobile();

} else{

$agent = 'Unidentified User Agent';

}

echo $agent;

echo $this->agent->platform();

  • While this code block may answer the question, it would be best if you could provide a little explanation for why it does so. Also, see [Formatting Help](https://stackoverflow.com/help/formatting). – nik7 Apr 22 '21 at 08:37
