Hi,
The only problem I have with the wurfl.sourceforge.net system is that the
server I pay for has a memory limit ("Allowed memory size of 68157440 bytes
exhausted") and I can't unpack the XML file to the cache.
But an online service would be great for mobile sites.
There could be several ways to do this, but I would imagine that a 200ms
delay in the response would encourage the response to be stuck in a $SESSION
or cookie.
Low-level PHP could just be $x=file_get_contents("http://xxx.com/detect?"; .
$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
