WAP for BlackBerry on Apache

This is slightly off the topic, but I will figure out a way to tie it in.

You have a webhost with Apache and allowing .htaccess files... how can I make WAP friendly pages to display?

1. Create a .htaccess file and upload it to your WAP subdomain or directory!

Options +Indexes
AddType audio/adpcm adp
AddType text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor jad
AddType application/java-archive jar
AddType text/vnd.wap.wml wml
AddType application/vnd.wap.wmlc wmlc
AddType image/vnd.wap.wbmp wbmp
AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscript wmls
AddType application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc wmlsc
AddType application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml xhtml

This should handle all the file types listed. The adp will handle ringtones converted from mp3 to adp for blackberry. Download and save as a ringtone!

jar and jad will handle install java apps. Be sure to upload the .cod file also.

wml, wmlc, wbmp, wmls, wmlsc, xhtml are the pages for your WAP browser.

2. I want to redirect depending on if it is a WAP browser or a "real" browser.

Good News, here is some PHP code that does it written by Anurag Singh:

//If it's not any of the above browsers

{
  $ub="WML";
  }
//Code for redirecting based upon the results
if($ub == "PC") {
    header("Location: ".$htmllink);
    exit;
    }
    else 
    {
    header("Location: ".$wmllink);
    exit;
    }
 
?>

Now you can host your WAP site on the same server as your normal website with no problems! (As long as your webhost allows .htaccess files of this nature)
