I'd personally do it in PHP. But there aren't standard wap browsers unfortunately (ie in real PC's, you'd only really ever see IE, Netscape, Mozilla etc). I don't know of a fully comprehensive list of browser identities, but these should get you started: from http://allnetdevices.com/faq
<? $browser=substr(trim($HTTP_USER_AGENT),0,4); if($browser=="Noki") // Nokia phones and emulators if($browser=="Eric") // Ericsson WAP phones and emulators if($browser=="WapI") // Ericsson WapIDE 2.0 if($browser=="MC21") // Ericsson MC218 if($browser=="AUR ") // Ericsson R320 if($browser=="R380") // Ericsson R380 if($browser=="UP.B") // UP.Browser if($browser=="WinW") // WinWAP browser if($browser=="UPG1") // UP.SDK 4.0 if($browser=="upsi") // another kind of UP browser if($browser=="QWAP") // unknown QWAPPER browser if($browser=="Jigs") // unknown JigSaw browser if($browser=="Java") // unknown Java based browser if($browser=="Alca") // unknown Alcatel-BE3 browser (UP based?) if($browser=="MITS") // unknown Mitsubishi browser if($browser=="MOT-") // unknown browser (UP based?) if($browser=="My S") // unknown Ericsson devkit browser ? if($browser=="WAPJ") // Virtual WAPJAG www.wapjag.de if($browser=="fetc") // fetchpage.cgi Perl script from www.wapcab.de if($browser=="ALAV") // yet another unknown UP based browser ? if($browser=="Wapa") // another unknown browser (Web based "Wapalyzer"?) ?> This is only a selection of browsers though, and the browser type wouldn't help u I don't think. For example, I take it you are asking with means to identify the screen size etc? Nokias use the same browser I believe but have different screen sizes for different models. In the same respect, you can't find out a PC users screen size through PHP, javascript, or anything else you please. Javascript doesn't work on WAP phones. Forget that. You're thinking of WMLscript, not too sure about that side of things. There should be enough there to get u going, either way, it ain't PHP anymore so you'll probably find better help on wap/wml forums instead. Good luck R LaserJetter wrote: > > Thanks!
