Hello. I am going to be changing around my site, and want to learn the best way for Mobile Redirection to a version of the site taylored to mobile devices. I am thinking of swaying away from Client Side(javascript) because it seems less reliable, and some ppl may have javascript disabled.... So I am looking for opinions on the best Server Side(with PHP?) method....... I heard of the Php Class that automatically will detect phones and tablets. I heard of WURFL Database, xxxatlas?, Andy Moore's script; which seems to be a big hit. And I am thinking that may be the best option. What do you think. All opinions and suggestions appreciated, as I would need to know this before I can go any further. Thanx.
Go with PHP, JavaScript can be disabled - so can't be relied upon. With PHP you'd make use of the HTTP_USER_AGENT option, this is the common menthod used and theres plenty of free PHP libraries out there to utilise. FYI: HTTP_USER_AGENT can be spoofed, but I would not worry about it as that would be overkill.
