iPhone support

[Ramses Paiva]

I'm currently working on a web application that is going to be accessed by iPhone devices and I'm wondering if the framework has some kind of support for this devices.

Hi Ramses,

what do you mean with "support for these devices"? MobileSafari reads and displays HTML pages like every other browser does.

Best regards
Tobias

You may want to investigate the ContextSwitch action helper; you could
easily create a callback that examines the current HTTP headers to
switch contexts.

Wow! A really nice library indeed!
I didn't know it!
Thank you very much!

Hello,

I recently implemented an iphone version for our mexican tv guide app
(iphone.enlatele.com.mx) and used, as Matthew said, ContextSwitch
action helper. I'd also like to recommend you IUI. Maybe you already
know it, but just in case, it is the a very easy way to get iphone's
native look and feel  http://code.google.com/p/iui/

I am very interested to see some examples of how people are handling this.

I need to add on-the-fly mobile support to one of my ZF applications.

IIRC, you can do some HTTP header detection to determine whether the
request is from an iphone. This could be easily done in a plugin, and
the plugin could then set a registry item indicating the results of that
check.

Another possibility is to extend the ContextSwitch action helper to
perform this logic at the controller level.

If you're talking about general mobile support and not just WebKit-based devices like the Apple and Android platforms, I highly recommend DeviceAtlas.  The cheapest license is $99 per year, but the data has been very accurate in my experience (with a couple small exceptions that were corrected the day after I reported them).  Much better in terms of accuracy and implementation than WURFL, the free alternative.  Just make sure you cache the inflated database in memory.
