any php masters here??!?
So far I have this - I know where to put the unwanted browser user strings in - I can get it to work, but can it be modified to only re-direct say IE & Netscape & allow all o ther browser without needing to put EVERY mobile phone user agent in ?
$ok = "the url to the ok page";
$bad = "the url to the wrong browser page";
if($_SERVER['USER_AGENT']=='name of the mobile browser') {
header("location: $ok");
} else {
header("location: $bad");
}
?>
Thanks

Try hotscripts.com. In the php section they have a couple of detection scripts.

I can't remember the exact syntax, but you should be able to use a logical 'or', e.g. in pseudo code
if($_SERVER['USER_AGENT']=='ieexplorer') || if($_SERVER['USER_AGENT']=='netscape');
--redirect for these browsers
ELSE
--redirect elsewhere
Sorry for the s***y example, I'll dig my PHP book out and get a working example for you!
Hope that's what you're trying to do anyway  |

I was nearly right! Structure of the 'If' statement should be:
$ok = "the url to the ok page";
$bad = "the url to the wrong browser page";
if($_SERVER['USER_AGENT']=='iexplorer' || $_SERVER['USER_AGENT')]=='netscape') {
header("location: $bad");
} else {
header("location: $ok");
}
I'd double check the browser type returns from the $_SERVER['USER_AGENT'] variable to make sure that they are actually 'iexplorer' and 'netscape'. Should be able to find the info on google or one of the big php sites (www.php.org)? You might have to add another 'or' to check for 'mozilla', too. |

Orangeman try this:
$Machine will detect, for ex: if browser is: SonyEricssonT610/R101 Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0 UP.Link/5.1.1a, just SonyEricssonT610. If SonyEricssonT610/R101 Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0 then $Machine will detect again SonyEricssonT610 ... Same with T300 and Mozilla ...
Hope this helps!
BTW: i used some of code in my wapsite for detection from wich phone was posted the message (see "Guestbook")
$ok = "the url to the ok page";
$bad = "the url to the wrong browser page";
$Browser = $HTTP_USER_AGENT;
$BrowserSplit = explode("/", $HTTP_USER_AGENT);
$Machine = $BrowserSplit[0];
if($Machine == "Opera" || $Machine == "Mozilla") {
header("location: $bad");
}
else {
header("location: $ok");
}

my example works 100% (as allready, perhaps, you know)
Complete example
<?
$ok = "the url to the ok page";
$bad = "the url to the wrong browser page";
$BrowserSplit = explode("/", $HTTP_USER_AGENT);
$Machine = $BrowserSplit[0];
if($Machine == "Opera" || $Machine == "Mozilla") {
header("location: $bad");
}
else {
header("location: $ok");
}
?>

you can also use the stristr function, which I belive it's best.
search for mozilla  |

$BrowserSplit = explode("/", $HTTP_USER_AGENT);
$Machine = $BrowserSplit[0];
if($Machine == "Opera" || $Machine == "Mozilla") {

It cannot be possible.
check:
http://weblinx.prezenta-web.com/wap/detect.php
I've used exactly the code that you've gived in the last post.
Check it first with your mobile, than with IE or Opera
Donno, it must work on your server, too!
