Identifying device type

[ameliabob]

I am trying to wirte an applicaetion that can be veiwed on phone,pad or computer. The user agent $_REQUEST[ HTTP_USER_AGENT] gives me what softwawre the browser is running but nothing about which physical device it is running on. Where can I find this?

 

Thanks,

Umm where do you need physical information of device?

 

If you're trying to find which processor + etc you would need additional program for that (Atleast i assume). I found this for mobile device detecting tho.

If you want to made application for multiple device (visual look) you may like to look into "responsive design" instead of detecting the user agents.
