- NOTE : For this How To you’ll need PHP on your web server.

1) Copy the script below into a file called redirect.php

2) Open that up in your fav text editor. We need to make a few changes.

Here’s the bits that need changing.

// Put Your API Key in Here
define(’APIKEY’,'00000000000000000000000000000000′);

// Put Your NON Mobile site homepage URL in here
define(’STDSITE’,'http://www.zaption.com’);

// Put your Mobile site URL in here
define(’MSITE’,'http://m.zaption.com’);

- Put your APIKEY from handsetdetection into top define (copy it over all those 0’s).
- Change the URL in STDSITE to your standard website.
- Change the URL in MSITE to your mobile site.

Bingo - Its all done - now you have a page which can do the detection and
redirect people to the most appropriate site for their device.

<?php

// HTTP/Request from PEAR.
include "HTTP/Request.php";

// Put Your API Key in Here
define('APIKEY','00000000000000000000000000000000');

// Put Your NON Mobile site homepage URL in here
define('STDSITE','http://www.zaption.com');

// Put your Mobile site URL in here
define('MSITE','http://www.handsetdetection.com');

// This is the handset detection server to query - No change needed here.
define('HD_SERVER','http://c1.handsetdetection.com');

function sendjson($data, $url) {
	$tmp = json_encode($data);
	$req =& new HTTP_Request($url);
	$req->addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
	$req->setMethod(HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_POST);
	$req->addRawPostData($tmp);
	$req->sendRequest();
	$reply = $req->getResponseBody();

	return json_decode($reply, true);
}

function doDetect() {
	$options = array('geoip', 'product_info');

	$data = array();
	$data['apikey'] = APIKEY;

	// Pick up user agent from headers passed to the server
	$data['User-Agent'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
	$data['ipaddress'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

	// Passing $_SERVER options in is optional.
	$data = array_merge ($data, $_SERVER);

	$result = sendjson($data, HD_SERVER."/devices/detect.json");

	return $result;
}

$ret = doDetect();
if ($ret['message'] == 'OK') {
	header('Location: '.MSITE);
} else {
	header('Location: '.STDSITE);
}

?>

The move to AWS should be seamless & we’ll keep you posted on when its happening.
