CodeIgniter : Load different view for mobile devices
Codeigniter(PHP framework) supports the detection of client devices(user agents). In this tutorial, we will see how to use Codeigniter User agent class to detect the devices and present different views.
The following code demonstrate the capability in the simplest form
function different_views () {
$this->load->library('user_agent');
if (!$this->agent->is_mobile()) {
$this->load->view('desktop_view');
}
elseif ($this->agent->is_mobile('ipad')) {
$this->load->view('ipad_view');
}
else {
$this->load->view('mobile_view');
}
}
You can view all the user_agents that CodeIgniter recognizes in the file application/config/user_agents.php
Bear in mind that it is case sensitive. The word iPad
will produce different result from the word ipad
