The Apache Mobile Filter allows you to access WURFL from any programming language, not just Java and php that is traditionally used for dynamic mobile web sites. The module detects the mobile device and passes the WURFL capabilities on to the other web application as environment variables. It can also be used to resize images on the fly to adapt to the screen size of the mobile device. Try it and let me know your opinion. For more info: http://www.idelfuschini.it/it/apache-mobile-filter-v2x.html I have made two test pages: PC Test Page: http://apachemobilefilter.nogoogle.it/php_test.php Mobile Test Page: http://apachemobilefilter.nogoogle.it Hi,

This database is a superset of both UAProf and WURFL. It includes direct feeds licensed from others such as handset manufacturers, mobile operators, and other companies with access to device information. It comes with a simple API which will both detect the device from its headers and will return to you the device capabilities. Called DeviceAtlas, it can be downloaded at no charge for developers. It can be found at www.deviceatlas.com. There is another option. dotMobi, the company behind the .mobi domain name, makes an inexpensive crowdsourced device database.
