Say Hello to the Mobile Browser Detector

Not long ago an interesting PHP function that allows to detect mobile browsers was introduced in the Internet. One of our visitors called Nigel told us of this particular website and we thought this is something worth sharing. Anyways, the function automatically identifies what browser and platform a visitor is using and redirects him or her to the relevant version of your website. This code is easy to use and can even be automatically generated with your own specifications directly from the developer’s web site.

The script identifies the following platforms: iPhone, Android, Opera Mini, Blackberry, Palm and Windows Mobile. Then user has three choices: to refer a platform to the group of Mobile Redirect URLs or Desktop Redirect URLs or to assign a specific URL for the chosen platform. Last but no least is that this script can be used absolutely FREE for non commercial purposes. Anyways, it is something you may find useful while building websites based on our Mobile Templates.
