I'm making an application that is designed for mobile devices and I would like to know how to detect a WAP browser in PHP so I can direct it to the WAP page instead of a normal page for regular browsers.

I use this script to detect WAP...

Code:
if(strpos(strtoupper($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']),"VND.WAP.WML") > 0) {

$mode = "WML";

}else{

$device=substr(trim($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']),0,4);

if($device=="Noki" || // Nokia phones and emulators
$device=="Eric" || // Ericsson WAP phones and emulators
$device=="WapI" || // Ericsson WapIDE 2.0
$device=="MC21" || // Ericsson MC218
$device=="AUR " || // Ericsson R320
$device=="R380" || // Ericsson R380
$device=="UP.B" || // UP.device
$device=="WinW" || // WinWAP device
$device=="UPG1" || // UP.SDK 4.0
$device=="upsi" || // another kind of UP.device ??
$device=="QWAP" || // unknown QWAPPER device
$device=="Jigs" || // unknown JigSaw device
$device=="Java" || // unknown Java based device
$device=="Alca" || // unknown Alcatel-BE3 device (UP based?)
$device=="MITS" || // unknown Mitsubishi device
$device=="MOT-" || // unknown device (UP based?)
$device=="My S" || // unknown Ericsson devkit device ?
$device=="WAPJ" || // Virtual WAPJAG [url]www.wapjag.de[/url]
$device=="fetc" || // fetchpage.cgi Perl script from [url]www.wapcab.de[/url]
$device=="ALAV" || // yet another unknown UP based device ?
$device=="Wapa" || // another unknown device ("Wapalyzer"?)
$device=="SEC-") // Samsung Phone
{
$mode = "WML";
}else{
$mode = "HTML";
}
}

if ( $mode == "WML" ){
// do something for WAP browser
}else{
         // do something for normal browser
}

That code seems to work very well for a couple of the .mobi sites I've been developing. I've also found it useful to monitor the server logfiles to see if there's any unidentified USER AGENT's and attempt to calibrate the WAP browser as needed.

A lot of the newer phones, like the iPhone, as chaning the way WAP requests are handled and it almost reminds me of the early days of the internet when a designer have to design for 640x480 because some CFO or CIO was surfing the site on his ThinkPad (that only did those resolutions back then).

The script works great. It's detecting my phone but the only problem I'm having is when accessing from a Nextel phone.

Yes? That is?? Seems like you're copying the first few words of the first post in a thread and reposting them?
