Re: [videoblogging] Re: Questions: RSS, PSP, 3g, IP ...
I wrote up a quick PHP script to check most of that stuff. It returns an array of data so that in your page you can call the function and then test things like:$request['agent']or$request['os']or$request['isBOT']
and a bunch of other booleans I added in. It will even (try to) tell you if the request is servicing more than one subscriber. For example a mefeedia request may be serving many subscribers ... this function will tell you how many (when such information is provided).
Check out: http://www.davidmeade.com/resources/getSubscriberInfo.phpI'll send you the php file, however it would be up to you to then test the values this function returns and decide what to do based off of it.
Example:$request = getSubscriberInfo();if ($request['agent'] == 'iTunes') {// do something here}else {// do something else.}It doesnt do country of origin, but it could ... I dont know how to do it off the top of my head, but it shouldnt be TOO difficult. If its the killer feature you're dying for let me know and I'll try to find some time to figure it out.
