I an ASP page how do i find that the page is Accessed from PC or Mobile phone

[Ghanta Sunil Krishna]

hi,
i am sunil,working as a Software programmer. Well i do have a question
for u. Consider this scenario.

Step 1:
I have a asp page which queries the database using ADO 2.5 to retrieve the
data.

Example:-rs.open "select statement"

Step 2:
Suppose the request came from a pc then i wanna apply one style sheet(XSL)
or else if the request came from a mobile phone i should apply another style
sheet.That is done like this:

If Pc then
response.write PC.xsl
else if mobile phone then
response.write mobile.xsl
end if

Step 3:
Then i save my recordset to response object.

Example:-rs.save response,adpersistxml


This is fine .But in Step2 how do i find out where the request came from
so that i can apply different style sheets to my xml content.

Don't really understand problem, because if you test on 'if pc', then you
must have had a something to test this against. Anyway, it might be just
an example. You might want to check the HTTP-headers if you don't know where
request is coming from. Or try browserhawk from Cyscape. They have a fixed
set of properties ('PDA, WAP') to check where request came from.

You would need to check the HTTP-headers for the same.

This checks if the request came from a phone ... and that too a Nokia phone.
You can redirect or do whatever you want after that.

str = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")
if instr(str,"Nokia") Then
Response.Redirect "wap.htm"
else
Response.redirect "default.htm"
end if
