Scripting Gurus! Help please!

[Tala]

I need a code of some sort that reads the user's browser and redirects the user to an area of the site made specifically for that type of browser.

Example: User A is using a desktop with Nutscrape and User B is using a Palm Pilot with a wireless browser. I need to redirect User B to a wireless area of my site.

Help!

I can do this in PHP fairly easily.

Doing this with java.script is a hack anyway.

If the server is using Apache, you can just use Mod_Rewrite in a .htaccess file.

For example:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}  ^Mozilla/3.*
RewriteRule ^foo\.html$         foo.NS.html          [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}  ^Lynx/.*         [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}  ^Mozilla/[12].*
RewriteRule ^foo\.html$         foo.20.html          [L]

RewriteRule ^foo\.html$         foo.32.html          [L]

maybe PHP Sniff

For this particular answer, I am going to have to say http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.useful.php

If you read that, you will get a grasp on what it is you are trying to do. Then after you find out what the browsers names are you'd do some code like

if($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] hahahaha "IE") {
  // use some java code, redirect to designated page //
} else {
  // go somewhere else... 

Hope that helps!

Use the Apache Rewrite method, it is the most effective and less of a hassle. Write it and forget about it.
