_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ This question already has an answer here:_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Simplest way to detect a mobile device_x000D_ _x000D_ 14 answers_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ I have a site and I have hosted the site in shared hosting. The thing is it looks great in PC but doesn't look that good in mobile devices. I know I can make it look good with media queries, but I want to deliver the user with a whole new experience. I have seen the thing in Facebook when I open it in PC, it just works good and when I open it in mobile device (cell phone) it asks me to download it for the cell phone. So, how does it know if my device is Android or iOS or PC? I want to do the very same thing in my site. I have a site made with Laravel and in the view I have: Route::get('/', 'PagesController@index'); And in my controller what I want to do is: So, is there a function in php or Laravel to do that?

_x000D_ Detecting OS/Browser is really complicated task, Laravel does not have a built in class/functions to do this. There is however a Laravel package to do this. https://github.com/hisorange/browser-detect // Determine the user's device type is simple as this: Browser::isMobile(); Browser::isTablet(); Browser::isDesktop(); if(Browser::isMobile()){ return "mobile_view"; }else{ return "pc_view"; } If you wana get browser details from a user agent other then the current user call the parse function. $result = Browser::parse('Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.0) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.14');
