Allows you to get browser information

Browscap/BrowscapBundle

, _(*1)

This is a service for you that is similar to the php fucntion get_browser(). It uses https://github.com/GaretJax/phpbrowscap project., _(*2)

Installation

php composer.phar require browscap/browscap-bundle:1.0.*

This will install the current version which is beta and is the master branch. I don't want to say it's stable yet until I have some more tests and real world usage under the belt, but should be good enough to use in a production site., _(*3)

In your app/AppKernel.php file, _(*4)

public function registerBundles()
{
    ...
    $bundles = array(
        ...
        new Browscap\BrowscapBundle\BrowscapBundle(),
        ...
    );
    ...
}
