Use this code to redirect pc users from your wap site to web site:
include above page header this code:

<?php$mywebsite = "forum/index.php";$browser = explode ('/', $HTTP_USER_AGENT);if($browser[0]=="IE"){header ('Location: $mywebsite');}?>

Well dj they will have a bit of a problem if using IE as it don't read wap pages which is why i use the code above to redirect them to my WEB site so i DON'T lose traffic...----btw can anyone tell me the id's of other web browsers that don't support wap browsing..?? Like Internet Explorer's id is simply IE. Would be helpfull if someone could list them for me as i don't often work from pc and am ant familiar with the browsers ;-)

Wapp I think there are only two types of WEB browsers. There are many different types of WEB browsers but they all identify themselves as someone else. IE says its mozilla and so on but here is a redirection script which I use

i like that alot :-) but there is a few problems i see with it.. For instants alot of my wap users do use opera etc and i don't want them to be redirected. I have added a few more browsers to my script which i will post another time but your code is alot better, i will maybe update it to suit my needs and post the updated copy here.

i hate when i get redirected to a web page when im on my phone, when i try to access 2wap.net f.ex then i get redirected to wapforum.org.uk instead

[wappy 0]

yes same as that it can be very annoying which is why i still let the common phone based web browsers like opera etc still access the wap site. I have deleted my web forum waiting on the release of phpbb v3 but when i do put it back up my site will direct pc's to there but all phones and phone based web browsers will still access the wap (main) site. And if people using these browser do wish to visit the web forum i will be placing a link to it on the index and login pages. I think i will use a modified version of the code posted above as i think i can make it work very well with a bit of alteration :-)

I'm glad it came in useful. I can't remember where I actually stumbled upon this script but I'm glad I did .

[wappy 0]

ok maybe i will use your code now as i have just been told mine is not working properly? Im not on pc so can't test, can anyone tell me what is wrong with the below code? I want the commen web browsers to be directed to my web forum.

Here is the code:

<?php$mywebsite = "/forum";$browser = explode ('/', $HTTP_USER_AGENT);if($browser[0]=="IE" OR $browser[0]=="Go!Zilla" OR $browser[0]=="MSIE" OR $browser[0]=="Netscape" OR $browser[0]=="FireFox"){header ('Location: $mywebsite');}?>

thanks in advance for any help with this :-)

ok i have created a new redirection system/script. It will direct any pc users away from your wap index (with the exception of opera) to a url of your choice. I have also included a debugger page so in case of people not getting redirected you can point them to the debugger page and find out the browser id/info to update the script, but as far as i know it works a treat. I have also included some install instructions etc..

I think it's to many OR commands, I would just try and use the original layout but then again I know very little about/of PHP.

[wappy 0]

i don't understand what you mean? The new script i attached works very well (i think lol)... But i should update it with all the browser types in the script you posted. I will do that soon and post the new version here.

---

Ok i have updated the script with all the comment browser ids (added another 15). There should now be no web browsers getting through other than opera (i do this so the wap site can still be accessed by pc but only with opera as its the best pc wap browser and i also use it on my mobile).

You will find full installation instructions and a more complete description in the README.txt in the attachment below. Enjoy

WOW, it looks as though everyone is being tracked down Why do people have to fight online? If you want to settle something do it in person or phone the person for that matter.
