This library helps you detecting bots like Google, Yahoo or Bing.
use Vipx\BotDetect\BotDetector;
use Symfony\Component\Config\FileLocator;
use Vipx\BotDetect\Metadata\Loader\YamlFileLoader;
# Instantiate Symfony components required to load and parse YAML files.
$locator = new FileLocator();
$loader = new YamlFileLoader($locator);
# Use extended bot list prodivded in Resources directory.
$metadataFile = './Resources/metadata/extended.yml';
# Instantiate a BotDetector with the YamlFileLoader instance and path to YAML.
$detector = new BotDetector($loader, $metadataFile);
# Call detect() on BotDetector, passing in a user agent string and IP address,
# most commonly found in $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] and $_SERVER['REQUEST_ADDR']
# respectively.
# detect() will return a Vipx\BotDetect\Metadata\Metadata object containing the
# details of a matched bot and null on no match.
$bot = $detector->detect($agent, $ip);
- Add additional meta data loaders (xml, php)
