Installation
------------

Install using composer:

```bash
composer require jenssegers/agent
```

Laravel (optional)
------------------

Add the service provider in `config/app.php`:

```php
Jenssegers\Agent\AgentServiceProvider::class,
```

And add the Agent alias to `config/app.php`:

```php
'Agent' => Jenssegers\Agent\Facades\Agent::class,
```

Basic Usage
-----------

Start by creating an `Agent` instance (or use the `Agent` Facade if you are using Laravel):

```php
use Jenssegers\Agent\Agent;

$agent = new Agent();
```

If you want to parse user agents other than the current request in CLI scripts for example, you can use the `setUserAgent` and `setHttpHeaders` methods:

```php
$agent->setUserAgent('Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/537.13+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.7 Safari/534.57.2');
$agent->setHttpHeaders($headers);
```

All of the original [Mobile Detect](https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect) methods are still available, check out some original examples at https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect/wiki/Code-examples

### Is?

Check for a certain property in the user agent.

```php
$agent->is('Windows');
$agent->is('Firefox');
$agent->is('iPhone');
$agent->is('OS X');
```

### Magic is-method

Magic method that does the same as the previous `is()` method:

```php
$agent->isAndroidOS();
$agent->isNexus();
$agent->isSafari();
```

### Mobile detection

Check for mobile device:

```php
$agent->isMobile();
$agent->isTablet();
```

### Match user agent

Search the user agent with a regular expression:

```php
$agent->match('regexp');
```

Additional Functionality
------------------------

### Accept languages

Get the browser's accept languages. Example:

```php
$languages = $agent->languages();
// ['nl-nl', 'nl', 'en-us', 'en']
```

### Device name

Get the device name, if mobile. (iPhone, Nexus, AsusTablet, ...)

```php
$device = $agent->device();
```

### Operating system name

Get the operating system. (Ubuntu, Windows, OS X, ...)

```php
$platform = $agent->platform();
```

### Browser name

Get the browser name. (Chrome, IE, Safari, Firefox, ...)

```php
$browser = $agent->browser();
```

### Desktop detection

Check if the user is using a desktop device.

```php
$agent->isDesktop();
```

*This checks if a user is not a mobile device, tablet or robot.*

### Phone detection

Check if the user is using a phone device.

```php
$agent->isPhone();
```

### Robot detection

Check if the user is a robot. This uses [jaybizzle/crawler-detect](https://github.com/JayBizzle/Crawler-Detect) to do the actual robot detection.

```php
$agent->isRobot();
```

### Robot name

Get the robot name.

```php
$robot = $agent->robot();
```

### Browser/platform version

MobileDetect recently added a `version` method that can get the version number for components. To get the browser or platform version you can use:

```php
$browser = $agent->browser();
$version = $agent->version($browser);

$platform = $agent->platform();
$version = $agent->version($platform);
```

*Note, the version method is still in beta, so it might not return the correct result.*

Enhancing Payment Security: The Role of Encryption and Tokenization in Digital Transactions

As digital transactions proliferate, ensuring robust payment security is more critical than ever. Two foundational technologies that are pivotal in this effort are encryption and tokenization.
Encryption is a process that transforms data into a secure format, known as ciphertext, which can only be deciphered using a specific decryption key. This means that even if data is intercepted during transmission, it remains unreadable and protected from unauthorized access. Encryption is essential in safeguarding sensitive payment information, such as credit card details and personal data, during online transactions.
Tokenization, on the other hand, involves substituting sensitive data with unique identifiers or "tokens." These tokens serve as placeholders and have no value outside of the specific transaction context. If intercepted, tokens are meaningless and cannot be used to access the original sensitive data. This method significantly reduces the risk of fraud and data breaches, as the actual payment information is not stored or transmitted.
Together, encryption and tokenization form a powerful security framework. Encryption ensures that data is protected during transmission, while tokenization minimizes the risk of exposing sensitive information by replacing it with secure, non-sensitive tokens.
These technologies are integral to modern payment platforms, providing a robust defense against cyber threats. By implementing advanced encryption and tokenization techniques, businesses can enhance the security of digital transactions, ensuring that users' financial and personal information remains safe. This comprehensive approach not only builds user trust but also fortifies the overall security infrastructure of digital payment systems. As cyber threats evolve, the continued advancement of encryption and tokenization will be crucial in maintaining secure and reliable payment processes.
