Using get_browser() or $HTTP_USER_AGENT you could (neither are guaranteed, as it depends on suitable info from the browser) find out the platform the browser is running on. Whether it's enough is questionable, but it's all you've got to go on.

$useragent=get_browser();
$platform=$useragent['platform']; (eg, "WinCE")

With that, you can then redirect them using some suitable variation on header('Location:palmindex.php').

ok i've got you. i actually found some code that is in asp to do this and i am converting it to php just now. the only thing that i am missing now is a php function to search on a string A for a string B.

basicly i need that so i can get if WinCE is in the string returned by $HTTP_USER_AGENT

Check out strpos, strstr, or substr_count

http://www.php.net/strpos
http://www.php.net/strstr
http://www.php.net/substr_count

But getbrowser() will do it for you (see the manual for that function for details).
