Changing PHP variable outcome

I'm trying to display the name of the apple device model on my website

I'm currently using this PHP code to get the device model:

$device = $_SERVER["HTTP_X_MACHINE"];
echo $device;

this code gets the device model but display it as for example if i'm on an iPad 4 Wifi the result is iPad3.4 how can i change the displayed text in a way to replace "iPad3.4" with "iPad 4 WiFi" and "iPad3.5" with "iPad 4 GSM" etc...

...If you want, you can do something like this:

$device = $_SERVER["HTTP_X_MACHINE"];

$conversions = array(
  'iPad3.4' => 'iPad 4 WiFi',
  'iPad3.5' => 'iPad 4 GSM',
);

if (isset($conversions[$device])) echo $conversions[$device];

Without knowing any PHP, this might be a little hard to get working correct, though. Feel free to try it, anyway.

Something like that should do the job, assuming you known most of values :

$deviceMapping = array(
    'iPad3.4' => 'iPad 4 WiFi',
    'iPad3.5' => 'iPad 4 GSM',
);

$device = $_SERVER["HTTP_X_MACHINE"];
if (isset($deviceMapping[$device])) {
    echo $deviceMapping[$device];
} else {
    echo "Unknown device";
}
