how can I know if the request comes from a mobile phone?

Apr 02, 2009 03:18 PM|LINK

Hi,

here is my problem : I can't find how I can know if the request comes from a mobile phone, using a simple way.

I know a fonction which enable to know if the browser is a mobile browser. But some mobiles (like iphone) use standard browser.

If you have an idea, you could save my life!! ^^

thanks for your answers

Bonjour à tous,

voici mon problème : je ne trouve pas comment je pourrais, d'une manière simple, savoir si la requête vient d'un mobile.

Je sais qu'il existe une fonction permettant de savoir si le Browser est un Browser Mobile, mais certains mobiles (type iphone) utilisent des browser non-mobile.

Si vous avez une idée vous me sauverez la vie!! ^^

Hi,

You can get it by detecting the IP of phone. Phone IPs are different ftom Computers.

Mobile IP are similar to this: 2001:db8::1428:57ab

You can get user ip read the following article:

Thanks for the answer mshoaib83.

But the Mobile IP you wrote looks like an IPv6 adress...

And some people have already IPv6 address on their PC...

Am I wrong?

PatachouNewG, I already pointed out Mobile Device Browser File. When you download the latest release, put the file in the App_Browser folder of your website, the IsMobileDevice property will work correctly for all the devices that are included in the file, among which the iPhone! The only thing you'll have to do is download the latest version of this file so it will work for new devices also...

I tried your solution but I have an error that I don't understand.

I'm sorry, my error is in French...
