Host Detect Script

[waynemac]

Gidday all, I run a PC and a mobile website and want to detect the visitors host and then send to an appropriate folder.

 

Eg, mobile hosts like docomo.ne.jp would go to /mobile/ and abc.com would go to /phpwebsite/ folder.

 

Any info on what to do, where to go etc would be appreciated.

Wayne, I wouldn't try where they are coming from. I would try brower detection and then send them to the appropriate section of your site.

 

Google for "browser detection" and I am sure you will find something you can use.

Thanx for cutting back the foliage and showing me the way. Im off to explore.

And exploring I did. Was reading thru Japanese BBS threads and got the following...I added to .htaccess

 

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^DoCoMo [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^J-PHONE [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^KDDI [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^UP.Browser [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^DDIPOCKET [NC]

RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.fukuokaguide.com/mobile/index.html [L]

 

and then created a .htaccess in /Mobile to set a RewriteEngine off command.

 

And work it did.

 

Hope this is helpful to someone one day.
