### Overview

[](#overview)

The WURFL module is a simple wrapper module around the WURFL API and database.

WURFL (Wireless Universal Resource FiLe) is a compendium of all (?) user agents available on the Internet. More general information on WURFL can be found [here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WURFL). For developer information on the WURFL project's PHP API please go [here](http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/php_index.php).

This module lets you use WURFL from within Xaraya. It has two API functions, wurfl\_userapi\_get\_device and wurfl\_userapi\_check\_device. The former returns an object modeling the requesting device (browser, iPad etc.), while the latter checks that device against a device ID entered (for instance generic\_web\_browser).

The module has no user interface, and a single admin page for testing WURFL here.

WURFL can be run in two modes: accuracy and perfomrance. The latter is the default, allowing for faster checks. Its output for any PC browser for instance will be a generic device descrioption. The accuracy mode can be used when speed is not as crucial, and an exact identification of the calling device (e.g. firefox\_11\_0) is required.

The workings of the API functions are simple and should be clear from examining the test page.

Note that after installing the module, the first time the test page (or any query of the WURFL database) is run, there will be a lag that can last up to 5 min while the module unpacks its database and sets up the required files for caching and persistence.
