Wml And Html

[slick]

Hi.

 

I wanted to know if this could be done.

 

I want to put on some .wml pages on my site, but the thing is, I want those pages to go to an html page if it is accessed by a regular computer's internet browser.

 

Is it possible to do this?

 

If it isn't possible, is there anyway I can put some code in the .wml files that will only render in HTML browsers.

 

Right now as it is with my .xml files, when I point my browser to them, they are just downloaded as a file and I don't want that to happen.

 

All help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

You can do this with a PHP redirection script.

 

><?
$wmlredirect = "http://www.******/wml/index.php";// Your WAP Site
$htmlredirect = "http://www.******/html/index.php";// Your HTML Site

// Get browser ID
$browser=substr(trim($HTTP_USER_AGENT),0,4);

// Identify Web Browsers
if($browser=="Mozi") // Mozilla, Internet Explorer 6 & Opera 7

{
	$br = "HTML"; // Identify the above as Web Browsers
}
else 
{
	$br = "WML"; // Identify balance as Wap Devices/Emulators
}

if($br == "HTML") {
header("Location: ".$htmlredirect);
exit;
}
else 
{
header("Location: ".$wmlredirect);
exit;
}
?>

Or by using rewrite rules in the .htaccess file

 

>#browser redirects For PDA Based Browsers
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "Windows CE" [NC,OR] #Windows CE and Pocket PC
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "NetFront" [NC,OR] #PalmSource WebBrowser 2.0
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "Palm OS" [NC,OR] #Eudora Web Browser for Palm
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "Blazer" [NC,OR] #Handspring Blazer Browser
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "Elaine" [NC,OR] #RIM Devices
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "^WAP.*$" [NC,OR] #WAP Browsers
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "Plucker" [NC,OR] #Plucker Offline download client
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "AvantGo" [NC] #AvantGo Service
RewriteRule ^index\.html http://www.yourdomain.net/index.wml [L,R]

Hi Bruce.

 

I tried that bit of code and replaced the necessary url's but it is redirecting my html browser (Firefox) to the WAP site.

 

Is there anything else I can do?

 

Thanks.

Hi Slick,

 

Which one of the two methods are you trying?

[slick]

I tried the first method.

I'd give the .htaccess one a try. Couldn't hurt. I found them both using Google.
