Hiya all.

I'm currently updating my website and want to detect the browser that the user is using, inorder to direct them to the part of the site which is best optimised for them. I hate visiting graphically intense sites, when all i want is a bit of text, so I want to give people the option before they download k's worth of images.

I'm using some asp script to do this, in particular the Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT") comand.

I only have a P900. please could people with other phones / browsers please visit the page below, and then post the browser discription so that I can build a list of supported browsers.

Thanks alot.

PS The page will also tell you your mobile phones IP, which interestingly appears to be static.

Dude, PM me your email address and I'll send you a database with over 700 entries in it - all types of browsers so you can compare. I've been doing the same as you for 2 weeks now.

I'm having abit of trouble getting the file off richy240. My Mail server keeps blocking it.

I'd be really greatful if anyone could post the text after, "Your browser is:" on the above page. I've currently got info for p900 and z600, and others would be excellent.

Thanks

I use this on my site:

Javascript:

<SCRIPT Language="JavaScript">
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape')
var language = navigator.language;
else
var language = navigator.browserLanguage;

{
if(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Symbian") != -1) document.location.href = 'indexppc.html';
else if(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("PPC") != -1) document.location.href = 'indexppc.html';
else if(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Windows CE") != -1) document.location.href = 'indexppc.html';
}
</script>

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Or PHP:

<?php

$browser = strtolower($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]);
if (strstr($browser,"symbian")) { $agent = "2"; }
elseif (strstr($browser,"sonyericsson")) { $agent = "3"; }
elseif (strstr($browser,"ppc")) { $agent = "0"; }
elseif (strstr($browser,"msie")) { $agent = "1"; }
elseif (strstr($browser,"mozilla")) { $agent = "0"; }
else {
$agent = "0";
}

$acceptbrowser = strtolower($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"]);

if ("1" == $agent)
{
header('Location: https://www.yoursite.com/index2.html'); /* Redirect browser */
}
if ("2" == $agent)
{
header('Location: http://www.yoursite.com/indexnon.html'); /* Redirect browser */
}
if ("3" == $agent)
{
header('Location: http://www.yoursite.com/indexse.html'); /* Redirect browser */
}
else
{
?>

I only tried it on my T610 since the gf have the T68i and
you already have a P900 to test with.

Your browser is:
SonyEricssonT610/R101 Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0
