how to detect page request is from mobile or PC?

[dhillarun]

Hi Everybody,

I have developed a website using PHP, which will produce HTML code.

But I have some pages in PHP ,which will produce WML code for mobile browsers.

I want to redirect to WML page,if the site is accessed from the mobile. Otherwise it should display HTML page if the site is accessed from Desktop PC.

Please do reply me.

Arun.

I think you could use a simple javascript code to detect the client
(run a Google search for "javascript browser detection")
and redirect accordingly.

As the javascript is running in the client side,some mobile browsers will not support "Javascript". So I want to achieve the same in the server side itself.

(i.e) In the server, I want to know which device (whether mobile or Desktop Computer) is acessing the website.

If the device accessing the website is a mobile or PDA , then it should redirect into a PHP page which will produce WML code.

Otherwise if the request is from computer, then it should redirect into a PHP page which will produce HTML code.

Sorry, I overlooked this.

Back to the server code, when you use a mobile device is $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] gets some meaningful value?
