Step 1 – Download the Zip file from SourceForge.

Step 2 – Unzip the file into a directory of your choice within your project.

Step 3 – Then add the following code to your PHP page file:

include_once(‘path/to/51Degrees.php’);
include_once(‘path/to/51Degrees.usage.php’);

(It is recommended for performance purposes that these lines are included after a session_start();)

if ($_51d[‘IsMobile’] == TRUE)
{
//Start coding for a mobile device here.
}
