Motto: "Every business should have a mobile detection script to detect mobile readers."

Mobile_Detect is a lightweight PHP class for detecting mobile devices (including tablets). It uses the User-Agent string combined with specific HTTP headers to detect the mobile environment.

We're commited to make Mobile_Detect the best open-source mobile detection resource and this is why before each release we're running unit tests, we also research and update the detection rules on daily and weekly basis.

Your website's content strategy is important! You need a complete toolkit to deliver an experience that is optimized, fast and relevant to your users. Mobile_Detect class is a server-side detection tool that can help you with your RWD strategy, it is not a replacement for CSS3 media queries or other forms of client-side feature detection.

This month updates

First of all a BIG THANK YOU to our growing community for your continuous support and for all the feedback received! I'm still working my way with the current issues and all the emails.

Nick is almost done with all the code for the upcoming 3.0.0 so that I only have to integrate the new parsing engine. We will release minor 2.8.xx versions until a feature freeze where we will switch to the new branch. You will all be announced before this and hopefully we can make the transition smooth for everyone.

Last but not least, special thanks for supporting us to our friends from TryCatch.us who are set to carefully curate the most talented developers in Europe!

Thank you all and we're excited for the new release!
