Thanks for sharing this. I am using this function to detect mobile device for my website.

function mobile(){
if(stristr($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’],’windows’)&&!stristr($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’],’windows ce’)){
return false;
}
if(eregi(‘up.browser|up.link|windows ce|iemobile|mini|mmp|symbian|midp|wap|phone|pocket|mobile|pda|psp’,$_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’])){
return true;
}
if(stristr($_SERVER[‘HTTP_ACCEPT’],’text/vnd.wap.wml’)||stristr($_SERVER[‘HTTP_ACCEPT’],’application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml’)){
return true;
}
if(isset($_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE’])||isset($_SERVER[‘HTTP_PROFILE’])||isset($_SERVER[‘X-OperaMini-Features’])||isset($_SERVER[‘UA-pixels’])){
return true;
}
$a=array(‘acs-‘,’alav’,’alca’,’amoi’,’audi’,’aste’,’avan’,’benq’,’bird’,’blac’,’blaz’,’brew’,’cell’,’cldc’,’cmd-‘,’dang’,’doco’,’eric’,’hipt’,’inno’,’ipaq’,’java’,’jigs’,’kddi’,’keji’,’leno’,’lg-c’,’lg-d’,’lg-g’,’lge-‘,’maui’,’maxo’,’midp’,’mits’,’mmef’,’mobi’,’mot-‘,’moto’,’mwbp’,’nec-‘,’newt’,’noki’,’opwv’,’palm’,’pana’,’pant’,’pdxg’,’phil’,’play’,’pluc’,’port’,’prox’,’qtek’,’qwap’,’sage’,’sams’,’sany’,’sch-‘,’sec-‘,’send’,’seri’,’sgh-‘,’shar’,’sie-‘,’siem’,’smal’,’smar’,’sony’,’sph-‘,’symb’,’t-mo’,’teli’,’tim-‘,’tosh’,’tsm-‘,’upg1′,’upsi’,’vk-v’,’voda’,’w3c ‘,’wap-‘,’wapa’,’wapi’,’wapp’,’wapr’,’webc’,’winw’,’winw’,’xda’,’xda-‘);
if(isset($a[substr($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’],0,4)])){
return true;
}
}

As the PHP docs says you have to have browscap.ini file setup. And if not only the old school HTTP_USER_AGENT remains working!

greetings,
