how to redirect from mobile site to full site with .htaccess

Question

Below is my .htaccess file that i got from Mobile Redirect using htaccess

# Check if mobile=1 is set and set cookie 'mobile' equal to 1
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)mobile=1(&|$)
RewriteRule ^ - [CO=mobile:1:%{HTTP_HOST}]

# Check if mobile=0 is set and set cookie 'mobile' equal to 0
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)mobile=0(&|$)
RewriteRule ^ - [CO=mobile:0:%{HTTP_HOST}]

# cookie can't be set and read in the same request so check
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)mobile=0(&|$)
RewriteRule ^ - [S=1]

# Check if this looks like a mobile device
RewriteCond %{HTTP:x-wap-profile} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "android|blackberry|ipad|iphone|ipod|iemobile|opera mobile|palmos|webos|googlebot-mobile" [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Profile}       !^$

# Check if we're not already on the mobile site
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}          !^m\.
# Check to make sure we haven't set the cookie before
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie}        !\mobile=0(;|$)
# Now redirect to the mobile site
RewriteRule ^ http://m.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Using this will redirect to m.domain.com like i was hoping.

My issue is with redirecting user back to the full site.

Can someone please explain to me how i can accomplish this.

Thank you

Create your link as: http://m.domain.com/some-link?mobile=0

You need to place it just below `RewriteBase /` line. – anubhava Dec 06 '13 at 21:18
i have it now exactly how you stated above and when i go to the link i still get the mobile site – user583576 Dec 06 '13 at 21:26
ok another thought can you place it just after `RewriteRule ^ http://m.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]` line. Also what is full link now to go back to full site? – anubhava Dec 06 '13 at 21:27
And this you're doing from a mobile browser? – anubhava Dec 06 '13 at 21:44
my only issue is once you go from mobile site to full site i can not get back to the mobile site unless i exit out of my browser and restart new browser. ex im at m.domain.com then i click go to full site. it will go to full site but then i put in url domain.com and i am not redirected unless i exit safari on iphone and end browser task and restart safari – user583576 Dec 06 '13 at 22:19
It is awfully late here and I was just about to sign-off. So after this comment I won't be able to follow up but to go back to mobile site you need to put `?mobile=1` in your links. – anubhava Dec 06 '13 at 22:23
