Does anyone know how to configure a website to detect and redirect mobile devices?

I have spent several hours on failed attempts tonight.

I know about http://detectmobilebrowsers.mobi/
Unless I've gone completely blind, it's no help with where to put the scripts you create.

I think you put the script in your HEAD tag and bracket it with <script></script>

PHP is different, and stands along or goes before the HTML open tag if the server will accept it there.

Those <script> tags are for javascript and stuff.

Right. PHP.

So you're making a tree on your PHP page, right?

I found this discussed here:
http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/lightweight-device-detection-php

I've never used PHP. I'm still trying to graduate from nested table to CSS. I applaud your 21st century-ness!

"Making a tree"! You're over my head.

I am going to try some .htaccess stuff.

It has to be some server side scripted language, I used PHP.

1. Grab the file I put here and copy its contents to the clipboard.
2. Open your index.html file, SAVE AS index.php.
3. Paste the clipboard contents.
4. Locate the line near the end that contains [YOUR REDIRECTED SITE] and change it to your mobile site.
5. Save file, upload and test with mobile device.

That's the quickest way to do it. I'll leave that link up for 30 days, the file needs to be updated because it's old, but that's the info you're after.

***********************
I just saw the other link, you could do the same with that, it's not as efficient....

Yes, this is totally FOR THE WIN.
The code just needs the closing ?>

I renamed my index.html page to index.php.

I put my mobile website this bit of code

As soon as I'm sure about the way the mobile site works, I'll post a link to the website I was using to test this.

WOO.
