Offline processing example of using 51Degrees device detection. The example shows how to:
  1. Fetch a pointer to the 51Degrees device detection provider instance. This is instantiated on server startup and uses settings from php.ini.

    $provider = FiftyOneDegreesPatternV3::provider_get();
    

  2. Open an input file with a list of User-Agents, and an output file. The output folder must be in the same directory as this page and have write permissions.

    $file_in = fopen("20000 User Agents.csv", "r");
    $file_out = fopen($outputFolder."/".$outputFile, "w");
    

  3. Write a header to the output file with the property names in '|' separated CSV format ('|' separated because some User-Agents contain commas)

    fwrite($file_out, "User-Agent");
    foreach ($properties as $property) {
    	fwrite($file_out, "|".$property);
    }
    fwrite($file_out, "\n");
    

  4. For the first 20 User-Agents in the input file, perform a match then write the User-Agent along with the values for chosen properties to the CSV.

    while( my $userAgent = <$file_in>) {
    	chomp $userAgent;
    	my $match = $provider->getMatch($userAgent);
    	print file_out $userAgent;
    	foreach $property (@$properties) {
    		print file_out "|".$match->getValue($property);
    	}
    	print file_out "\n";
    	last if $. == 20;
    }

The output directory must also exist and have write permissions. */ // Snippet Start require("../pattern/FiftyOneDegreesPatternV3.php"); /* Initialises the device detection provider with settings from php.ini.
