Redirect if not a wap browser

hello:
i'm using WURFL to detect if user agent is a
"wap browser".

code to detect wap browser.

Code:

require_once('wurfl_class.php');
$device=new wurfl_class($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
if($device->browser_is_wap){
  header("Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml, true"); 
  echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>'."\n";
} else {
  // redirect to other page
}
// other codes here

when trying to go to "http://www.domainname.com/wap";
the web browser redirects me to the "index.php"..which is ok.
but when trying to use an emulator ("smart phone emulator 6")...it displays an error: "Reply Unknown"

any input is appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Does wurfl recognize the emulator as a wap device?
It may not be redirecting.
Alternatively, can the emulator handle redirects?

If you are redirecting for non-wap devices,
perhaps you could kill the script after redirect so nothing else happens...

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

// your code

} else {

  // redirect to other page

  exit;

}

You could put some error trapping in there, or make a really basic script to test, may be incorrect page format causing the error too ??
