Different information if it's a mobile browser

[Hans Rein Jacobi]

We've implemented the latest PHP browsecap version. The strange thing is that the website sometimes gives different information if it's a mobile device. For example if I go to the webpage http://browscap.org/ua-lookup It detects a Galaxy SIII and HTC ONE M8 as mobile device but when i'm on our website it tells me it's not. iPhones don't give any problem.

Is it something what's obvious what i'm doing wrong?

Best regard

Can you give us the UA string you are testing with?

Thanks

James

This is the string from the Galaxy III

What is the full information that is given when you call get_browser() on your site with that UA? Might be a configuration issue or something I'm thinking, as that UA definitely gets identified correctly.

THanks

The phone of the string i've send you was of a colleague that isn't here. We also had the problem with a HTC ONE m8. The full information is pasted below. If we use the browscap function getBrowers this is the array it returns, on a mobile browser with the same issue:

array(35) {
["browser_name"]=>
string(152) "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.4.2; nl-nl; HTC_One_M8/1.54.161.5 Build/KOT49H) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30"

if we use the PHP function get_browser() to return browser information. It returns the following array:

nl; HTC_One_M8/1.54.161.5 Build/KOT49H) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30

Could you tell me exactly which version of browscap.ini you have? (e.g. 5029, full_php_browscap.ini)

Thanks

James

[Hans Rein Jacobi]

We use the latest version 5029.

Thanks for your effort
