It’s usually tricky to configure php.ini to achieve get_browser() works seamlessly.

I’d recommend not reinvent a wheel and just use nice project phpbrowsecap (available at https://github.com/garetjax/phpbrowscap). It’s not my project, but I use it in my personal project and just works! 🙂

Additional benefit is that is periodically automatically updates browsecap (and caches it locally).
