Hello,

if you use the recommended solution of the Code Project article many mobile devices are not detected as such including one of the most used devices for browsing, i. e. the Apple iPhone.

Yes, my host supports ASP. But it doesn't support certain functions in PHP so I want to convert the code in my last post to ASP to avoid complications. I think it may be okay I haven't had much trouble with it so far.

I have researched and tried implementing that code from mobiforge but I cannot figure out how to get it to work because it is "option explicit". I'm new to programming and I'm not sure how to "comment out the first two lines to avoid compilation errors". as it states on the page you linked to in your reply to my question.

Thanks

Hello,

you don't have a .NET server?

I would not recommend those "lightweight solutions" from dotmobi.

Hi There!

I have found code that truly works in Mobile Redirection but it is in PHP. Can anyone out there help me convert the following Code to function in ASP ??? Thx

<?php

if(checkmobile()) header("Location:http://www.jamyershomes.com/mobile/index.html");

if(checkmobile()){
//code to execute if a mobile browser is detected
}

function checkmobile(){

if(preg_match("/iphone/i",$_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"])) return false;

if(isset($_SERVER["HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE"])) return true;

if(preg_match("/wap\.|\.wap/i",$_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"])) return true;

if(isset($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"])){

$uamatches = array("midp", "j2me", "avantg", "docomo", "novarra", "palmos", "palmsource", "240x320", "opwv", "chtml", "pda", "windows\ ce", "mmp\/", "blackberry", "mib\/", "symbian", "wireless", "nokia", "hand", "mobi", "phone", "cdm", "up\.b", "audio", "SIE\-", "SEC\-", "samsung", "HTC", "mot\-", "mitsu", "sagem", "sony", "alcatel", "lg", "erics", "vx", "NEC", "philips", "mmm", "xx", "panasonic", "sharp", "wap", "sch", "rover", "pocket", "benq", "java", "pt", "pg", "vox", "amoi", "bird", "compal", "kg", "voda", "sany", "kdd", "dbt", "sendo", "sgh", "gradi", "jb", "\d\d\di", "moto");

foreach($uamatches as $uastring){
if(preg_match("/".$uastring."/i",$_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"])) return true;
}

}
return false;
}

?>

I don't have a short answer for you, but you could check out the IBuySpy Portal from this website. You can download the source code free. There is plenty of good examples in there, including rendering content for both conventional and mobile web browsers.

Device detection: standard & mobile web applications

sion.lewis — Mon, 22 Dec 2003 14:22:07 GMT

Background:

I would like to host standard web pages as well as mobile web pages on a single website/virtual directory.

Questions:

Is there a simple way of sniffing out the machine type and then presenting either web or mobile application depending on the device?

Or is there a better solution other than creating separate website?

Many thanks
