Conditionally requiring php scripts

Hi there,
Is it possible to check the viewport width using PHP?
I created a few functions in separate files and would like to 'require' them inside the functions.php file based on certain viewport size.

Hi there,
you can't do it simply with pure PHP, as the script is run server side. There are some methods prescribed on stackoverflow on using Ajax or redirects to pass those variables. Might be worth checking out.
For pure PHP you can detect the UserAgent - so its device specific, heres a Stack on that:

Hope it helps.
Hi David,
Thanks for the information!
I've decided to use http://mobiledetect.net/. Seems to be working fine.
