Re: [PHP] Detecting devices i.e. PDA, Mobile

2003-10-11 Thread Raditha Dissanayake
The easiest is to detect the browser because this is what really 
matters. Then the dimensions of the display come into the picture.
There is a db of these browser capabilities and detecting and using them 
etc  in a sourceforge project call wurlf

all the best

Hi,

I have created an online system, and have created a WAP version, and am
currently crreating a PDA version. What I wuold like to to do is give out
the same URL instead of domain.com for normal use, domain.com/wap/ or
domain.com/pda/. Is there a way of detecting what device is loading the site
and redirect them accordingly?
Thanks for your help

I have done this before, messy but it was the only way I could find at the time

$mode = HTML;
if(eregi(UP.Browser,$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])
  || eregi(Nokia,$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])
  || eregi(Wapalizer,$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))$mode = XML;

This was from a while ago but you get the idea
