Hello, I'd like to be able to set up my site with a PHP script that swaps the header.php based on what browser the user has, so if a user is surfing via a mobile Safari browser (iPhone), it will swap the normal header.php with an alternative header.php more suitable for those browsers. Does this make sense? Any help appreciated!

It would probably be better to have all code within the header.php script, and use if/else statements so different code is run depending on the browser (rather than different header.php files).
You can get the browser user agent with $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] and then use a regular expression to determine what type of browser it is and serve different code based on if the regular expression matches a browser type of IE, Firefox, etc...

Hmm, that would save a lot of trouble, the only thing is I only have a rudimentary understanding of PHP so I'd need help on the proper code. The only thing I need to change is to have an if/else statement determine the font size inside a small block. For normal browsers the font size is normal, but for the iPhone it needs to be several sizes smaller (xx-small).
