PHP - Check if the page run on Mobile or Desktop browser

Question

In my PHP page I should display two different text contents according to whether the page run under mobile or desktop browser  Is there a way to perform this control in PHP

User · Accepted Answer

There is a very nice PHP library for detecting mobile clients here: http://mobiledetect.net

Using that it's quite easy to only display content for a mobile:

include 'Mobile_Detect.php';
$detect = new Mobile_Detect();

// Check for any mobile device.
if ($detect->isMobile()){
   // mobile content
}
else {
   // other content for desktops
}
