When I use the Opera Mini simulator with the User Agent library, it’s reporting itself as a browser instead of a mobile.

echo $this->agent->browser().' '.$this->agent->version().' '.$this->agent->platform(); 

Opera 8.01 Unknown Platform


echo $this->agent->agent_string();

Opera/8.01 ( J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/2.03942/1378;en;U;ssr)

Well, it’s identifying itself as Operaa 8.01. That’s no good. OK try this:

Open libraries/User_agent.php

At line 189, add $this->_set_mobile() just before “return TRUE”:

$this->is_browser = TRUE;
$this->version = $match[1];
$this->browser = $val;
$this->_set_mobile();  // <------ new code here
return TRUE;

That seems to have done the trick; thanks.

My i-mate JASJAM phone running Windows Mobile 5 has the agent_string

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; i-mate JASJAM PPC; 240x320; PPC; 240x320)

Doesnt show up as mobile, would the string PPC or Windows CE be a giveaway?

I notice Windows CE isnt in the platform list either. Where’d you get that initial list from Rick? Any way we can beef it up a bit?
