I have mobile browser detect variable named as isMobile. If it is "True" browser is mobile, else is not. I want to add different Youtube player for mobile users by code below. But I couldn't succeed this so far. 

if (!empty($_GET['isMobile']) and ($_GET['isMobile']=="True")){
echo '<iframe class="youtube" width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/something" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>';}
else{
echo '<iframe class="youtube" width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/something" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>';}

Us the http://mobiledetect.net/ class. Then perform logic and partition and serve your content as you see fit.

require_once 'Mobile_Detect.php';
$detect = new Mobile_Detect;

if ( $detect->isMobile() ) {
    echo '<iframe class="youtube" width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/something" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>';
} else {
    echo '<iframe class="youtube" width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/something" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>';
}

Though I should point out, Youtubes IFrame embed is already cross platform and browser capable, so this is all unnecessary.

<iframe class="youtube" width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/something" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Will work in all browsers and mobile devices.

    yes /embed/ code works for all platforms. but when playing playlists, it can't skip deleted videos. But /v/ code can. – user3024835 Oct 18 '15 at 20:55
  • hmm, sounds like a bug that should be reported to youtube. Another thing to consider is using a 3rd party wrapper to handle the video. Personally I like http://mediaelementjs.com/ which can handle playlists. – Wobbles Oct 18 '15 at 20:57
  • can i create youtube playlists by using it? – user3024835 Oct 18 '15 at 21:00
  • yessir, it's highly flexible, but more development intensive than just using YT's embed code. – Wobbles Oct 18 '15 at 21:01
  • last question: does mobile_detect.php file slow down my web site? – user3024835 Oct 18 '15 at 21:16

    No, its just interpreting your request headers and is all server side, its one of the best and rock solid options for serving out different DOMs to different platforms. – Wobbles Oct 18 '15 at 21:24

What you are doing now is expect the client to send the parameter isMobile, as in 

http://example.com/?isMobile=True

To detect mobile browsers, you might be able to use Simplest way to detect a mobile device. To copy the top answer (adapted):

concerning =="True"

As another point, do not use == for string comparison. See How do the PHP equality (== double equals) and identity (=== triple equals) comparison operators differ? for why it mostly does not do what you want it to. Teaser

0 == "0" == "00" == "000" == "0000" == "a"

This is because of type conversion, which does not happen for ===. Use that instead.

Use lower case for variables and values. Array GET converted to lowercase all variables and values.
