Best way to redirect mobile devices [duplicate]

Answer 1

Hi Santa I found this:

 if( navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i) ||
 navigator.userAgent.match(/webOS/i) ||
 navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i) ||
 navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i) ||
 navigator.userAgent.match(/BlackBerry/)
 ){
 // some code
}

Those answers will work fine until you want to separate tablets from mobiles. To get a better match you'll need something like Handset Detection (disclaimer : my startup) which can separate out devices by class (tablet/console/mobile). You can detect serverside with an API kit or on device with Javascript.

I think .htaccess would be the fastest. you might put something like this in your htaccess file.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "android|blackberry|iphone|ipod|iemobile|opera mobile|palmos|webos|googlebot-mobile" [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://m.mydomain.com/$1 [L,R=302]
