Mobile site

Hello,
I built a mobile version for my website.
Does anyone know what is the PHP code that I nned to put in my INDEX file so if the visitor slide into my website with his phone he will automateclly redirct to mobile sub domain -> m.mysite.com ?

Thank you in advance,
Roi

 

What platform have you built the main site on?

You'll have to check for the browser user agent (or screen res) & based on that send the user to the appropriate version of the site.

If you're using a CMS like WordPress there are plenty of plugins out there that do that kind of thing, otherwise you'll be looking for a relatively complicated solution to do what you're looking for - For instance you'd need a bank of known user agents or screen sizes to check for & keep updated.

 

Hi SEbasic,
I'm writting in PHP. I build the all website.

 

This a easy function what I use.

$user_browser = $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];

	function check_for_mobile($user_browser){

		$mobile_browsers = array( // update this list if you need
						'2.0 MMP',
					//	'Mozilla',
					//	'Opera',
					//	'Opera',

					);



		foreach ($mobile_browsers as $browser) {
			if (strstr($user_browser, $browser)) {
				return true;
			}
		}
		return false;

	}


//USAGE:
	if(check_for_mobile($user_browser)){

///looks like a mobile ... bla bla

}

else {
/// not a mobile device.?!
}

PHP:

OR
You can make this requests

$p1 = $_SERVER["HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE"];
$p2 = $_SERVER["HTTP_PROFILE"];
$p3=$_SERVER["HTTP_x"];

PHP:

one of this variable will return a adress like nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NE71-1r100.xml .
But this work only if your visitor use default browser.
If not (if they use Opera mini,UCWeb or other browsers) that HTTP headers will not return any info



PS: Sorry for my english :-|

 

Thanks morency!
I'm realy appreciate your help!

Why do I need the last part in your code:

$p1 = $_SERVER["HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE"];
$p2 = $_SERVER["HTTP_PROFILE"];
$p3=$_SERVER["HTTP_x"];

PHP:

is it instead $user_browser = $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];
?

 

this was just a ideea.

$p1 = $_SERVER["HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE"];
$p2 = $_SERVER["HTTP_PROFILE"];
$p3=$_SERVER["HTTP_x"];

PHP:

are just few varialbes from $_Server array .
If any of this return a site address means that visitor is a "mobile" one.

 

and do I need to send p1, p2, p3 to function check_for_mobile?
for example: if (check_for_mobile($p1)){

?
