Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Run the command below to install via Composer

```
composer require browscap/browscap-php
```

Then you may identify the current user agent like so:

```
use phpbrowscap\Browscap;

$browscap = new Browscap();
$info = $browscap->getBrowser();
```

Recommended Setup
-----------------

[](#recommended-setup)

It is highly recommended that you disable the auto update functionality, and create a background cron script to perform the update. This way, you do not make another request every time. So your usual usage would look like this:

```
use phpbrowscap\Browscap;

$browscap = new Browscap($cacheDir);
$browscap->doAutoUpdate = false;
$info = $browscap->getBrowser();
```

And you could write a cron script such as this, to run once a day:

```
use phpbrowscap\Browscap;

$browscap = new Browscap($cacheDir);
$browscap->updateCache();
```
