This is part of my final year project at university, so hopefully I'll be able to help you. Some pointers...
1. visit http://www.allnetdevices.com/faq/ for wml info 2. never assume the size of a WAP phone screen, no two are alike. 3. keep the pages TINY! WAP phones have very little memory, and don't handle big pages at all. 4. generating wml pages from php. Basically, you have to have a .php file that creates html content. At the above webpage there is a php script that determines whether a wap browser is opening the page and directs it accordingly. 5. atart any php/wml pages with <? header("Content-type=text/vnd.wap.wml"); ?> and it's now a page a phone will accept. 6. as for the porting all your files to wml, then that is VERY difficult to do. I'm not even sure PHP could do it. This is what my project is all about and I'm not using PHP for the conversion. It's harder than you might think to do. Professional software can do this for you (I believe IBM has a solution but it costs a bomb) but I'd consider having a wap site and web site, with an index.php file at the root that sends the user to the correct version (using the script at 1.) Good luck with it, let me know how you get on as I'd really like to hear other peoples opinions on this, seeing as I'll have to write an 80 page dissertation on it!!!

Whilst looking for someone to host the site, I noticed a review for f2s which said "allows PHP to be combined with WML" That would be a pretty neat thing to do - I could have a PHP script automatically port every page to WML and WBMP images. The problem is, how do you include PHP in a WML file? Do you have to use <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="php"></SCRIPT> in a .wml file or can you use .php files? (I can't just fidddle about because I don't have a WAP phone yet!) Also, and I know this isn't really anything to do with PHP, what are the dimensions in pixels of a typical WAP phone screen? I checked my site using the emulator in the Nokia Toolkit and the one at TagTag.com and my WBMP image fitted nicely in the middle of the screen. But when my girlfriend showed it me on her phone, only about a third of the image fitted on!! Making the image smaller wouldn't be a problem but I dont really know what size to make it. Any directions to some useful info would be greatly appreciated.
