Bootstrap handles it well, but you still have to implement it properly
(think Portrait vs landscape, phone vs. Tablet). Its very difficult to
do it properly...

If you are using PHP as your server side code, this is a good class
that provides that functionality that I need to detect info about

Be very careful with this "feature".  I can not count the number of
sites where they lost my business because it was not done well. 
Some of these sites will see "Android" or "iOS" and just assume its
a phone.  Then I hit it on my 10.2" tablet, and it looks stupid. 
Often, these sites are "auto detecting" and don't just default, so
there is no way to ask for the regular site.  When done well, its
nice when the site is smart enough to offer a good default and also
offer to not filter and deliver the regular HTML page.  Also, make
sure that if you do offer mobile, and you have a link to deliver the
full page instead, that this option sticks as you move throughout
the site.  I have one utility pay site that f's up when I go to it
with the tablet, but offers the "pc" page.  Click on it, and it
will fix the page you are on... click a link, and you are back to
the "mobile" version... click on the "pc" link again, and it takes
you back the the main page.  If this was a business I had an option
to not do business with (its our local utility and I am stuck with
them), I wouldn't.  So as I said, be careful and test, test, test

Thanks Eric and Nathan!

-----------
There are many frameworks which do what you want, namely
bootstrap or Foundation. I think ultimately what you want
is css @media queries. Do some digging on that and search
for detecting media type or screen size and displaying
a specific css for that device.

Joe asked:
Is there a way to set up an html page so that it will be
displayed at one size on a mobile device, but then make all
of the multiple small images that make up the html page scaled
down to a different (much smaller) size on a desktop computer?
