PHP On mobile (Getting mobile model number)

[udaypawar]

Hi All,

I am developing a mobile application using PHP and XHTML for mobile.

In this application I am just counting number of downloads and after each hit I am making an entry in Mysql database. Its working fine up to this point.

Next I want is my "Java application" which I am allowing users to download should get downloaded only on supported handsets. I don't know how to identify the Model Number of mobile handset which is accessing my page.

Can any one help me on this?

Thanks in advance.

Oh, thats a never thought about and never expected question.

So, do one thing. Save a PHP file as [php]echo "<pre>";
print_r($_ENV);
echo "<pre>";[/php]on the server and open it in the mobile's browser.
See if there's any valid information for you.

I have already tried the same.

I can fetch the mobile model number from the HTTP_USER_AGENT string. I have tested it successfully in Nokia N70 and SonyEricssonK750i. In both cases I can get "NokiaN70-1/3.0546.2.3 Series60/2.8 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1" and "SonyEricssonK750i/R1L Browser/SEMC-Browser/4.2 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1" as a HTTP_USER_AGENT strings respectively.

But the problem is yet in Nokia E50 mobile with Symbian OS I cant get the model number included because its uing Firefox as web browser. The string I got is "Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.1; U; en-us) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413 es50".

I am unable to find any full proof method to detect mobile model number.

If there is any way by which I can fetch model number then let me know.
