Mobile-Detect: A PHP repository from avecms

Motto: "Every business should have a mobile detection script to detect mobile readers."

Mobile_Detect is a lightweight PHP class for detecting mobile devices (including tablets). It uses the User-Agent string combined with specific HTTP headers to detect the mobile environment.

We're committed to make Mobile_Detect the best open-source mobile detection resource and this is why before each release we're running unit tests, we also research and update the detection rules on daily and weekly basis.

Your website's content strategy is important! You need a complete toolkit to deliver an experience that is optimized, fast and relevant to your users. Mobile_Detect class is a server-side detection tool that can help you with your RWD strategy, it is not a replacement for CSS3 media queries or other forms of client-side feature detection.

Announcements

For 2.x branch we are no longer taking optimizations pull requests, but only new regexes and User-Agents for our tests. On 2.x releases we are focusing on new tablets only. All the pull requests about TVs, bots or optimizations will be closed and analyzed after 3.0.0-beta is released.

Still working on 3.0.0 branch to provide you with device detection! We're really excited on this one! We would like to speed this up, but life and family gets in the way ;)
