It's not possible to know for sure. You can check the user agent as sent by the browser (might be missing or fake) with $_SERVER['USER_AGENT']

global $Moderator;
what's your purpose (why do you need to know)? if you're redirecting mobile users to a mobile version of your website, can check for known mobile browser UA strings and redirect them when found. It won't catch all of them (there are constantly new ones), and some might be PC browsers that have a similar UA string (shouldn't happen often, maybe not at all).
And of course (as Daniel says), the UA can always be missing, wrong, or faked.
The best option (if this is your purpose) is to put a link in the top left corner of your site that allows users to switch between your mobile and full-size sites at will. Mobile users will remember to bookmark the mobile version next time.
If this isn't what you're doing, let us know.
