Hi, I’m using PHP to detect whether a user is browsing with a mobile device or not, and then redirect them either to another ‘normal browsing’ page or a mobile-friendly page. I’ve turned PHP on for this template. I get a ‘200 OK’ result that gives a link to the correct page, but why won’t the browser go to that location automatically?
I’m open to suggestions of completely different ways to accomplish the redirects. What code are other people using for this?
Link to the template in action: test template
This is the only code in the template. (For demo purposes, mobile should go to apple.com and non-mobile should go to google.com)
<?php
$mobile_browser = '0';
if(preg_match('/(up.browser|up.link|mmp|symbian|smartphone|midp|wap|phone)/i', strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))) {
$mobile_browser++;
}
if((strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']),'application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml')>0) or ((isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE']) or isset($_SERVER['HTTP_PROFILE'])))) {
$mobile_browser++;
}
$mobile_ua = strtolower(substr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],0,4));
$mobile_agents = array(
