I want to run some code if the user is not using an apple mobile device browser (iphone, ipad or ipod).

I tried the following but I have no idea if it works: 

<?php
if(!strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPhone') || !strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPod') || !strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPad')) 
{
     // user is not on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod device so execute code
}
?>

    afaik, the code you posted will work - is there some reason you didn't TIAS before asking? – Chris Browne Jan 23 '12 at 13:10

    Hope that you really do care about the device and aren't really looking for Mobile Safari. – Quentin Jan 23 '12 at 16:03

I have used php-mobile-detect and it works very nicely. Can detect all kinds of devices!

Mobile_Detect is a simple PHP class for easy detection of the most popular mobile platforms: Android, iPhone, Blackberry, Opera Mini, Palm, Windows Mobile, as well as generic ones.
