How do I differentiate between Midp 2.0 and 2.1 and Android from a WAP browser so as to redirect them to different location to download the app corresponding to their mobile.

It's pretty difficult to catch all cases correctly, and anyone can always just set their User-Agent to a different value, but the general way to do it in php is:

  1. Automatically, with get_browser(), which requires an up-to-date version of browscap.ini

    $browserInfo = get_browser();
if($browserInfo->platform === "Android")
{
    // deliver Android link
} else if($browserInfo->platform === "JAVA") { // MIDP
    // deliver MIDP link
}

  2. Manually, by running a bunch of regex strings against $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']. Very generic matches could be done on .*MIDP.* and .*Android.* if you want to do it this way.

    if(preg_match("/.*Android.*/", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) // Android
{
     // deliver Android link
} else if(preg_match("/.*MIDP.*/", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { // MIDP
     // deliver MIDP link
}
