What's the entire PHP code that I'd need to add to add to allow desktop browsers through, but to redirect iPhone users to one page, and mobile users to another? Any help would be really appreciated.

It would have to be rejiggered to return an A/B/C option (mobile, non-mobile, iphone). Then instead of if(checkmobile()), you'd have if (checkmobile()=="iphone") or something to that extent so that you could execute different code.

(and desktop browsers still bypass and go to www.mysite.com) Thx Nick This is a great script, but what if I STILL want to direct iPhone users to another site (and not the mobile site), say iphone.mysite.com where all other mobiles are directed to mobile.mysite.com.

Like so: if(checkmobile()) { header("Location:http://www.whatever-url-you-want.com"); exit(); } // etc. You might want to put an exit(); after the header(...); line, so that the page stops sending needlessly after the redirect is sent.
