The ASP.NET version (C#) is this:

if( Request.Browser("IsMobileDevice") == true )
{
Response.Redirect( "MobilePage.aspx");
}

Although I've read something somewhere that this messes up search engine crawlers.

Does that first piece of code detect Palm OS, Linux, and Symbian browsers? Thanks

Steven, our Project Manager, noticed that the original auto detect code was missing some info.

Here is our fix and seams to work:

$ua = $HTTP_USER_AGENT;
if (stristr($ua, "Windows CE") or stristr($ua, "AvantGo") or stristr($ua,
"Mazingo") or stristr($ua, "Mobile") or stristr($ua, "T68") or stristr($ua,
"Syncalot") or stristr($ua, "Blazer") or stristr($ua, "NetFront"))
{
$DEVICE_TYPE="MOBILE";
}

if (isset($DEVICE_TYPE) and $DEVICE_TYPE=="MOBILE")
{
$location='http://pda.thrillnetwork.net/';
header ('Location: '.$location);
exit;
}

We have this running on our beta test site. We will be releasing the live site in the next few days. If you want to see the code working send me a PM and we can talk. Thanks.

...for my site, and you need to define what $ua is before you can use it:

$ua = @find_environmental("HTTP_USER_AGENT");

Then you can do a string compare on the value of $ua to determine if someone is surfing from a mobile browser...

We have it running on our site now for the last year.

browse from a PDA links to:

mobile.thrillnetwork.com

We just added our complete Database of Rides and Parks

This works for Blackberry, PPC, Plam OS. Very cool.

Hi,

I used Medic119's code and it worked great for several weeks, but then it stopped working (website behaved as the directives were not there-- did not redirect to the mobile folder). Could this have anything to do with the fact that my host upgraded to Apache 2.0?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.
