Excellent advice.
I will be making an extendable data holder class. I'm going to do the sort
of thing Zend_Db does for the adapter/rowset/row classes, allowing an
extended class to supply the corresponding extended adapter/rowset/row
classes. Each of the base classes has a job to do, but they can only
operate in conjunction with an external provider.
Thanks for the pointers.
Richard.

Some time ago, I tested php-mobile-detect and detectmobilebrowsers.com, taking
the (old) wurfl database (as a reference with a bit less than 15.000 mobile
devices). Tests came out as follows:
php-mobile-detect: 7 seconds in 15.000 devices, 70% accuracy
detectmobilebrowsers.com: 0.6 seconds in 15.000 devices, 93,5% accuracy
The post I made is in spanish, but could serve as a reference:
http://blog.unreal4u.com/2012/10/detectar-facilmente-un-dispositivo-movil/
As for the OP, I think that the best way would be PHP, because you can do a lot
more, like not even redirecting the user but rather just load the mobile site
directly, setting a session value if desktop version is forced or not. This
way, any links would also be interchangeable, making it easier for you to
implement specific functionality such as "send link through email" and other
related things.
Greetings.

Argh!, Argh!, Argh! -- two of my pet hates in one snippet!
Comparing something ==TRUE is almost always unnecessary, and absolutely always
when it's used as an element of a Boolean expression: if x evaluates to TRUE,
x==TRUE is also TRUE, and if it evaluates to FALSE x==TRUE is also FALSE, so
the comparison is unnecessary, redundant and wasteful. Just use x.
And why use an if test on a Boolean value to see if it's TRUE or FALSE, just so
you can assign TRUE or FALSE?? Since the thing you're testing has the value you
want in the first place, just flipping assign it!
$isMobile = isset($browser['ismobiledevice']) && $browser['ismobiledevice'];
</rant>
Cheers!
Mike

Mike's remarks below notwithstanding, I think something fell off here.

Tell us how you really feel, Mike. :))

The only time I'd be looking at whether content of $somearray['somekey']
== TRUE is when it's possible that it may contain something other than
TRUE or FALSE, and somehow my code *cares* whether it does. In this
case, we do not, your rant holds.

This is most egregious.
> $isMobile = isset($browser['ismobiledevice']) && $browser['ismobiledevice'];
This would even be a case where I'd opt for:
$isMobile = @$browser['ismobiledevice'];
since if it *isn't* set, it's still falsy, with the rather strong caveat
of don't use @ indiscriminantly.

Hi gang:
It's Friday so I am allowed to ask odd questions.
Here's the problem -- I need to count the number of times a user activates a
LightBox -- how do you do that?
Here's a LightBox Example:
http://www.webbytedd.com/c2/lightbox/
All the javascript is there (jQuery et al).
Ideally, I would like to have a php/javascript combination that would:
1. Detect when a user clicked the LightBox;
2. Pass that value to PHP so I can keep count.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
tedd

$('.lightbox-image-class').click(function(){
$.post('ajax.php', {click: true});
});
and do your DB work in ajax.php

Also, the docs and functionality for that particular plugin seem a bit
weak. Maybe there's another one that has a "doneLoadingLightbox"
event that you could hook into and call your ajax script inside of...
