Usage

This documentation is taken from http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/user_agent.html

When the User Agent class is initialized it will attempt to determine whether the user agent browsing your site is a web browser, a mobile device, or a robot. It will also gather the platform information if it is available.

if (Agent::isBrowser())
{
    $agent = Agent::browser() . ' ' . Agent::version();
}
elseif (Agent::isRobot())
{
    $agent = Agent::robot();
}
elseif (Agent::isMobile())
{
    $agent = Agent::mobile();
}
else
{
    $agent = 'Unidentified User Agent';
}

echo $agent;

echo Agent::platform(); // Platform info (Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.)

Agent::isBrowser()

Returns TRUE/FALSE (boolean) if the user agent is a known web browser.

if (Agent::isBrowser('Safari'))

{
    echo 'You are using a browser.';
}
