Yep, pretty easy if you use php....
require_once 'Mobile_Detect.php';
$detect = new Mobile_Detect;
... you code here ...
// Any mobile device (phones or tablets).
if ( $detect->isMobile() ) {
// Do Something
}
// Any tablet device.
if( $detect->isTablet() ){
// Do Something
}
// Exclude tablets.
if( $detect->isMobile() && !$detect->isTablet() ){
// Do Something
}
// Check for a specific platform with the help of the magic methods:
if( $detect->isiOS() ){
// Do Something
}
if( $detect->isAndroidOS() ){
// Do Something
}
... you code here ...
