Thanks, that would probably work.
What I wanted to do was distinguish between a web browser and a WAP browser
so that
if (isWAP) {
echo "WAP content";
} else {
echo "HTML content";
}
I'll try those things anyway - The WAP site is working anyway and I've set
up a redirect from my main site using header ("Location:
http://wapsite.com";);
