 Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2004 8:31 am Post subject: Pocket PC Browser Detection. HOW??? |
 |
|
I am developing a site which will primarily be accessed on either a POCKET PC[PPC] (with Pocket internet Explorer [pie]) or a PC with IE. Bandwidth MUST be kept to a minimum for the PPC. How can I detect if it is a PPC accessing my site. PIE does not allow for scripting in the version I am developing for. Is there a way that Abyss can detect the browser? Or perhaps a PHP method? I would appreciate any possible suggestions.

jvoni,
You must use a script to inspect the value of the User-Agent header (in PHP, you can get it using the variable $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']).
A full list of User-Agent values per browser is available at

OKay the script I have works, but I need to distinguish between pocket internet explorer and internet explorer on a pc. Pocket PC internet explorer (2003) registers as internet explorer 4 or greater. Is there a way I can distinguish the platform it is running from?

jvoni,
You must distinguish them using the operating system part in the browser ID string (Windows CE or other). IMHO, this is the best and safer method.
