PHP - Directing Mobiles and Tablets

[Giarc86]

Hi all,

I am having a slight problem with this. Hopefully someone can help.

Currently I have mobile visitors to my sites main page directed to the mobile site. There is a link (/?mobile=false) there where they can go back to the main site if they wish which is set by a cookie. This is all working 100%. The problem I am having is that I don't want any tablets to direct to the mobile site, they must stay on the main site.

My code looks as if it shouldn't be directing them but whatever I try I can't get them to stay on the main site.

I am using the mobile_detect.php class to detect.

<?php
@include("Mobile_Detect.php");
$detect = new Mobile_Detect();

$mobile_cookie = isset($_COOKIE['mobile'])? $_COOKIE['mobile'] : "";

$force_mobile = ($mobile_cookie == "true") ? true : false;

if (isset($_GET['mobile'])) {
   if ($_GET['mobile'] == 'true') { 
      setcookie("mobile", "true", time() + 31536000, "/");
      $force_mobile = true;
   } else { 
     setcookie("mobile", "false");
     $force_mobile = false;
  }
}

if ($force_mobile){

   header("Location:http://mobilesite.mobi");
} else {

   if ($detect->isMobile()){

     if ($mobile_cookie == "" && !$detect->isTablet()){

       header("Location:http://mobilesite.mobi");	   
	   
     }	 	 
   }   
}
?>

Thanks for any help!

    // Any tablet device.

I have tried that before and it also does not work. I am wondering if the tablet that I am testing on is a not a true tablet?

I am using a Prestigio Multipad. It is Android ICS for tablets so I am assuming it should detect correctly.

What does the multipad show in the header? check the source code of mobile_detect.php, I can see Android ICS 4.0 tested on a Samsung Galaxy?

Since the source code is freely available, once you determined the header your tablet includes, you can add it to there

Ah that makes sense.

It seems the header is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.0.3; PMP3370B Build/IML74K) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.166 Safari/535.19

How would I list it in mobile_detect.php? Not too sure on the entry method.

I'd guess in this line?

'GenericTablet'     => 'Android.*\b97D\b|Tablet(?!.*PC)|ViewPad7|MID7015|BNTV250A|LogicPD Zoom2|\bA7EB\b|CatNova8|A1_07|CT704|CT1002|\bM721\b|hp-tablet',

Maybe try and Google how to add to mobile_detect.php as I'm sure you're not the only one with that issue
