Thanks for the script! I tried it and it worked on my iPhone but it didn’t detect my Xoom as being a mobile device. I know the User Agent for the Xoom has the word “Android” in it (as well as “Xoom”) is this just not picking it up for does it not pick up any Android devices? It is also completely possible, and more likely, that I messed something up.

Danny,
Thanks for the posting and update. I just added the “android” and “ipad” to the pregmatch in line 07 and it seems to deliver the same functionality as the added lines 35-45.

sorry for being such a noob, but is the above supposed to be two separate files? not sure how to implement this…

Thanks!
-bvd

ok, so I can just put the call at the en of the file?

when I browse from the computer it works, but when I browser fro my android phone I get:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/”account”/public_html/test.php:65) in /home/”account”/public_html/test.php on line 69

Here’s my file:

0)
return true;
else
return false;
}
?>

Untitled Document

this is the normal site

Oh yeah, my bad… Works great, thanks!

Got any tips on making paged optimized for android phones?

This doesn’t look like it will handle Windows Phone 7 very well. A typical user agent for some windows phone 7 phones contains “Windows Phone OS 7.0″. I’m thinking it would work just to change the line checking for “windows” and add another check looking for “phone”. Something like this:

if((strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']), ‘windows’) !== false) && (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']), ‘phone’) !== true))

Hey! Thanks for the script Danny!

Trying to get this working now, would it be possible to get a link to a website that’s using it? Would love to see it in action.

Thanks Danny.

ipad, samsung tab, … have moble browsers but it screen is large.
so if this code can detect pads also, it may be more usefull.

$mobile_browser : true/false
$mobile_pad : true/false

how to support with ipod touch!?
dont work with ipod!! pls

First of all, thank you for this script! It’s almost exactly what I’ve been looking for… I want to have my users re-directed to a “mobile” version when viewing from a phone (Android, iPhone, etc…) but I do not want to when viewing from a tablet.

What steps do I need to take to do this?

Thanks!

Good Morning,
I found your work thrue google and I would like to use it to find the mobile
I m not very good under php but I like flash.
Reason why I need your help to switch the content if its a mobile, Iphone or Ipad

Can you show me a way to find it ?
I understand the call but how to load a different page if its ipad, iphone, android or let the current page if not ?

Thank you very much

Laurent

Danny Herran :
I’ve updated the function for the iPod touch. Give it a try and let me know if it works.

Thats ok, thx!

Hello, firstly, I am a noob to PHP. I thought I could get this to work, but no luck. Here is my issue: I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I AM DOING.

I am trying to add this into my index.html page.

Do I take the code above and save as mobile.php?
Do I then upload that file to the root of the server?
Do I add this to my html page

$mobile = detect_mobile();

if($mobile === true)
header(‘Location: blog’);

and re-save as a php file?

If I do all of this, how does the server know to check the mobile.php file to re-direct? Help is appreciated.

One thing that would be cool is to give the user the option to override the user agent, and to see the desktop version of a website. Because if they want, with this they cant.

Any thoughts?

Hi danny i had a question about directing to mobile devices.
I have a website pureandnaturaltreats.com and want to direct that to a mobile device called pureandnaturaltreatsmobile.com
how do I get it that when someone goes to pureandnaturaltreats.com on a mobile device to redirect them to the pureandnaturaltreatsmobile.com can it be done through the index.html?

Thank you for your help
Philip

I used both codes, one after the other one inside a php file as show below:

0)
return true;
else
return false;
}

$mobile = detect_mobile();

if($mobile === true)
header(‘Location: http://www.google.com‘);
else
header(‘Location: http://www.cnn.com‘);

?>

I just modified the last conditional inside the code. If the user is using a mobile device, they will be redirected to google (replace with your own website address), if they are not using a mobile device, they will be redirected to cnn website (replace with your own website address).

In the mobile site, you can create a button to redirect people to the regular website (if they wanna visit the no mobile version of the site)

Hey,

im using your detection way, but ive problem with Opera under Macintosh. It doesn’t work there.

When i’m adding following code, it works. But i don’t know if it is the right way.

if(strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']), ‘macintosh’) !== false)
$mobile_browser=0;

Maybe other mobile apple devices use also macintosh.

Otimo script, obrigado.

Parabéns.

OMG, I LOVE YOU!!! and it was very easy to rewrite in Perl!!!

Hi im using opera mini @ windows. And like to pass validation, so at first add:

if(preg_match(‘/(up.browser|up.link|mmp|symbian|smartphone|midp|wap|phone|iphone|ipad|ipod|android|xoom|mobi)/i’, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))

mobi string to first check. And bypass windows validation. If the Reg Exp return true.

And think that strtolower is not useful at this line, because youre using /i modificator (incase sensitive)

Hi,

thanks for the code.

When I’m using Opera on Linux (seems to be everytime) the code “thinks” I’m using a mobile phone :\. Do you know why ?

What does the http user agent say for Opera on Linux ?

Hi,

the http_user_agent says Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; fr) Presto/2.9.168 Version/11.51

Hi,

the code works, it was a mistake on my own code…^_^…

Here’s a slightly more compact version. Thanks for the function

$MOBILE_AGENTS_RE = “up.browser|up.link|mmp|symbian|smartphone|midp|wap|phone|iphone|ipad|ipod|android|xoom”;
$MOBILE_AGENTS4 = array( ‘w3c ‘,’acs-’,'alav’,'alca’,'amoi’,'audi’,'avan’,'benq’,'bird’,'blac’,'blaz’,'brew’,'cell’,'cldc’,'cmd-’,'dang’,'doco’,'eric’,'hipt’,'inno’,
‘ipaq’,'java’,'jigs’,'kddi’,'keji’,'leno’,'lg-c’,'lg-d’,'lg-g’,'lge-’,'maui’,'maxo’,'midp’,'mits’,'mmef’,'mobi’,'mot-’,'moto’,'mwbp’,'nec-’,
‘newt’,'noki’,'oper’,'palm’,'pana’,'pant’,'phil’,'play’,'port’,'prox’,'qwap’,'sage’,'sams’,'sany’,'sch-’,'sec-’,'send’,'seri’,'sgh-’,'shar’,
‘sie-’,'siem’,'smal’,'smar’,'sony’,'sph-’,'symb’,'t-mo’,'teli’,'tim-’,'tosh’,'tsm-’,'upg1′,’upsi’,'vk-v’,'voda’,'wap-’,'wapa’,'wapi’,'wapp’,
‘wapr’,'webc’,'winw’,'winw’,'xda’,'xda-’);

$mobile_browser = false;
$http_useragent = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
$http_useragent4 = substr($http_useragent,0,4);
$http_all = strtolower($_SERVER['ALL_HTTP']);
$http_accept = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']);

if ( (preg_match(“/($MOBILE_AGENTS_RE)/i”, $http_useragent))
or (strpos($http_all, ‘operamini’) !== false)
or (in_array($http_useragent4, $MOBILE_AGENTS4))
or (strpos($http_accept,’application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml’) !== false)
or (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE'])) or (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_PROFILE'])) ){
$mobile_browser = true;
}
if (strpos($http_useragent, ‘windows’) !== false){ // Pre-final check to reset everything if the user is on Windows
$mobile_browser = false;
}
if(strpos($http_useragent, ‘windows phone’) !== false){ // But WP7 is also Windows, with a slightly different characteristic
$mobile_browser = true;
}

Just thought I would point out that you have “winw” specified twice in the $mobile_agents array.

Later!

some greetings from holland

May i thank you for the code its working perfect !

cheers john

If its from a Smartphone I want redirect to domain (“a”) and if it’s from a tablets I want redirect to domain (“b”) how can I do this?

Thanks a lot for sharing! Really helpful!

Firstly awesome script big ups. It works perfect but would like to know where to have a look at the updated change log

I used it so iqdit!

Hi,

I get an error, saying <>. If i search here:

http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php

The index “ALL_HTTP” does not exist. Anyone nows the solutions? Which mobile devices am I missing by not incorporating that line of code?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Danny! Easy to implement and works like a charm. I used it to dynamically rewrite mouseover hover effects so that they did not kick in for touch devices.

Thanks Danny, script works great! Thank you for sharing…

Thanks Danny, this works well.

Thanks Danny, this works well.

Cool! easy to understand & update to our php site. Thanks for join with us your function, it’s really usefull

Hugs from Beijing

why is var $mobile_browser in line 5 initialised as string. but cool script though.

doesn’t work for my phone:
user agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 8.12; MSIEMobile 6.0) T-Mobile_Maple

I updated the script with:
// But WP7 is also Windows, with a slightly different characteristic
if(strpos($agent, ‘windows phone’) !== false || strpos($agent, ‘windows ce’) !== false)
$mobile_browser++;

now it works.
Thanks anyway!

Thanks a lot! Works like a charm. Cheers!

Thanks Danny for the little but useful script.

Thanks, great script.

You should really add support for the BlackBerry PlayBook (playbook) and the Kindle Fire (silk)

BTW, excellent, simple script. Thanks!

Thank you for this great and simple useful script that saved my hours !

Thanks, it works great !
