A random User-Agent generator written in PHP. It generates desktop browser User Agent strings, roughly based on browser and OS usage statistics from Wikipedia and StatOwl.com as of July 2012.
Numbers for more minor variable components of the User Agent for each browser are chosen randomly, so it may at times generate User Agents that never actually exist in the wild.
Simply require uagent.php and call the function random_uagent(). You may
optionally pass a single parameter consisting of an array of language codes to
randomly choose from.
