User Agent Parsing with PHP, JavaScript, or Python

Sample User Agent

<编码> 联合国

JavaScript Usage

var uaParser = require( ua-parser ),
	uaParser.parse(navigator.userAgent);

console.log(ua.tostring());  // -> "Safari 5.0.1"

console.log(ua.toVersionString());  // -> "5.0.1"

console.log(ua.family);  // -> "Safari"

console.log(ua.major); // -> 5

console.log(ua.minor);  // -> 0

console.log(ua.patch);  // -> 1

PHP Usage

// Require the pbrary
require("UAParser.php");

// Parse the UA
$result = UA::parse();

// Get loads of information! :)
print $result->full;  // -> Chrome 16.0.912/Mac OS X 10.6.8

print $result->browserFull;  // -> "Chrome 16.0.912"

print $result->browser;  // -> "Chrome"

print $result->version;  // -> "16.0.912"

print $result->major;  // -> 16 (minor, build, & revision also available)

print $result->osFull;  // -> "Mac OS X 10.6.8"

print $result->os;  // -> "Mac OS X"

print $result->osVersion;  // -> "10.6.8"

print $result->osMajor;  // -> 10 (osMinor, osBuild, & osRevision also available)

Python Usage

# Import the pb
from ua_parser import user_agent_parser

# Parse the user agent
user_agent_parser.Parse(request.META.get( HTTP_USER_AGENT ))

print result_dict[ user_agent ]
# { major :  5 ,  minor :  1 ,  family :  Mobile Safari ,  patch : None}

print result_dict[ os ]
# { major :  5 ,  patch_minor : None,  minor :  1 ,  family :  iOS ,  patch : None}

print result_dict[ device ]
# { is_spider : False,  is_mobile : True,  family :  iPhone }

The code samples above are all easily recognizable by those who can use them; using user agent information is simple, and the API is as well. Well done to Tobie for this nice pbrary.
