PHP framework to develop .mobi sites

I'm desperately looking for a PHP 5 framework that will work best to develop .mobi sites.

One major feature that it should contain is browser recognition for different handsets, so that the site will work properly on all types of phones?

Solution

  • CakePHP, as part of the built-in RequestHandler component, checks the User Agent string against a big list of known devices and can therefore automatically display different content to those clients.

    Here's the list it compares against:

    iPhone, MIDP, AvantGo, BlackBerry, J2ME, Opera Mini, DoCoMo, NetFront, Nokia, PalmOS, PalmSource, portalmmm, Plucker, ReqwirelessWeb, SonyEricsson, Symbian, UP.Browser, Windows CE, Xiino

    Even you don't go with CakePHP, you can take a look at the source of that file to see more about how it handles those requests.
