In what situations might a PHP developer encounter discrepancies in browser detection, particularly with Safari?

PHP developers might encounter discrepancies in browser detection, particularly with Safari, due to the varying user agent strings sent by different versions of the browser. To ensure accurate browser detection, developers can use a combination of checking for specific features or behaviors unique to Safari, along with checking the user agent string. This can help account for any inconsistencies in user agent strings across different Safari versions. 

$is_safari = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Safari') && !strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Chrome');

if($is_safari){
    // Code specific to Safari browser
} else {
    // Code for other browsers
}
