The best way I've found to detect mobile devices is to examine the user agent header. While it's not 100% reliable it's the best method available. This is the function I've used in the past to detect mobile devices: https://gist.github.com/1124666. I haven't used it for a little while so there are probably new devices out there that it can't detect but it should give you a good starting point. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
