EffectIO PHP Browser Detection 3.2.0

Description:

PHP Browser Detection is a WordPress plugin by Mindshare Labs, Inc. that detects a user's browser. Developers can use it to send conditional CSS files for Internet Explorer, display different content or custom messages anywhere on the page, or swap out Flash for an image on iPhones. Version 3 adds support for is_tablet(), is_desktop(), and is_browser() along with numerous bug fixes and code improvements.

Template tags test for specific browsers such as Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, and Internet Explorer. Each tag accepts an optional major version number, or you can leave it empty to test for any version. Other tags check for desktop, tablet, mobile, iPhone, iPad, and iPod. You can compare against a specific version with get_browser_version(), get just the name with get_browser_name(), or receive all details in an array from php_browser_info(). Shortcodes such as [is_browser name="chrome" version="45"] and [browser_info] let you show different content or output all browser info without writing PHP.

As of version 3.0 the plugin requires PHP 5.3 or above. Automatic updates of the browscap.ini user agent database are disabled as of version 3.1.2 because of memory usage issues, and the cached copy can be updated manually. Install automatically through the Plugin Browser, or upload the php-browser-detection folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory and activate it from the Plugins menu.

The vendor’s own page for PHP Browser Detection has the full details.
