How to detect whether a site is browsing from IPAD or not

I have a Web Application which is browser compatible made in php and HTML5. I have a certain requirement when a client browse the site from Ipad I want to display different banner.

<?php $ua = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
   if(stripos($ua,'android') !== false) { // && stripos($ua,'mobile') !== false) {
$android = '1';

     }
     if(stripos($ua,'iPhone') !== false  || stripos($ua,'iPod') !== false  ||     strstr($ua,'iPhone') || strstr($ua,'iPod')  ) { 

$iPhone = '1';

 }

 ?>

This condition is working for android mobile and other devices but not for Ipad. Does anyone have idea how to detect Ipad device in php.

I believe the user agent has 'ipad' in it. Search for ipad.

If you're curious, use a page to spit out the HTTP USER AGENT, and visit with an ipad:

<?php
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
?>
