PHP Random User Agent generator
===============================

[](#php-random-user-agent-generator)

A random User-Agent generator written in PHP. It generates desktop browser User Agent strings, roughly based on browser and OS usage statistics from Wikipedia and StatOwl.com as of July 2012.

Numbers for more minor variable components of the User Agent for each browser are chosen randomly, so it may at times generate User Agents that never actually exist in the wild.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Simply require `uagent.php` and call the function `random_uagent()`. You may optionally pass a single parameter consisting of an array of language codes to randomly choose from.
