Installation

Main Setup

2. Clone this project into your ./vendor/ directory.

With composer

1. Add this project in your composer.json:

   "require": {
       "neilime/zf2-browscap": "dev-master"
   }

2. Now tell composer to download ZF2 Browscap by running the command:

Post installation

1. Enabling it in your application.config.phpfile.

   <?php
   return array(
       'modules' => array(
           // ...
           'Neilime\Browscap',
       ),
       // ...
   );

Configuration

• string browscap_ini_path : (optionnal) only needed if the native php function get_browser is unavailable or if allows_native_get_browser option is set to false. Define the browscap.ini file path (allows locale or remote file)
• Zend\Cache\Storage\StorageInterface|string|array cache: (optionnal) Define the cache storage adapter to store parsed browscap.ini.
  Allows classname and service retrieving an Zend\Cache\Storage\StorageInterface, or an array to be use with Zend\Cache\StorageFactory::factory. This not only saves you from loading and parsing the "browscap.ini" each time, but also guarantees an optimized loading procedure.
• boolean allows_native_get_browser: Define if the native php function get_browser could be used if it's available.

How to use ZF2 Browscap

ZF2 Browscap module provides a service, helper for views and plugin for controllers

1. Call Browscap with the service manager

   /* @var $serviceManager \Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorInterface */	
   
   $browscap = $serviceManager->get('BrowscapService'); //Retrieve "\Neilime\Browscap\BrowscapService" object
   var_dump($browscap->getBrowser()); //Display an object which will contain various data elements representing, for instance, the browser's major and minor version numbers and ID string;

2. Call Browscap in a controller "get_browser" plugin expects the same params as the native php function get_browser.

   $browscap = $this->get_browser(); //Retrieve an object
   echo $browscap->parent;
   
   $browscap = $this->get_browser(null,true); //Retrieve an array
   echo $browscap['parent'];
   
   $browscap = $this->get_browser(
   	\Zend\Http\Header\UserAgent::fromString('User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.0.4; Desire HD Build/IMM76D) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.166 Mobile Safari/535.19')
   ); //Retrieve an object with an arbitrary user agent
   echo $browscap->parent;   	

3. Call Browscap in a view "get_browser" helper expects the same params as the native php function get_browser.

   $browscap = $this->get_browser(); //Retrieve an object
   echo $browscap->parent;
   
   $browscap = $this->get_browser(null,true); //Retrieve an array
   echo $browscap['parent'];
      	
   $browscap = $this->get_browser(
   	\Zend\Http\Header\UserAgent::fromString('User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.0.4; Desire HD Build/IMM76D) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.166 Mobile Safari/535.19')
