Mobile_Detect is a lightweight PHP class for detecting mobile devices. It uses the user-agent string combined with specific HTTP headers to detect the mobile environment.
Note: this project is the same with http://code.google.com/p/php-mobile-detect/. We are keeping both repositories updated until the transition to GitHub is completed.
