I'm not sure if this is the right forum so I apologize in advance!

I created a mobile version of my website. I have a subdomain called mobile.thinkdolphin.com. I've tried doing a redirect in my .htaccess file but I get an error saying there are too many redirects:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*iPhone.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mobile.thinkdolphin.com [R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*BlackBerry.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mobile.thinkdolphin.com [R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*Palm.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mobile.thinkdolphin.com [R=301]

I've also tried creating a file called ismobile.php with this code:

<?php
function ismobile(){
&#160; // check if the user agent value claims to be windows but not windows mobile
&#160; if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'windows')&&!stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'windows ce')){
&#160; &#160; return false;
&#160; }
&#160; // check if the user agent gives away any tell tale signs it's a mobile browser
&#160; if(eregi('up.browser|up.link|windows ce|iemobile|mini|mmp|symbian|midp|wap|phone|pocket|mobile|pda|psp|N70|S60|S40|S80|S90',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])){
&#160; &#160; return true;
&#160; }
&#160; // check the http accept header to see if wap.wml or wap.xhtml support is claimed
&#160; if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'],'text/vnd.wap.wml')||stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'],'application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml')){
&#160; &#160; return true;
&#160; }
&#160; // check if there are any tell tales signs it's a mobile device from the _server headers
&#160; if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE'])||isset($_SERVER['HTTP_PROFILE'])||isset($_SERVER['X-OperaMini-Features'])||isset($_SERVER['UA-pixels'])){
&#160; &#160; return true;

...with this in the header of my index.php homepage file:

<?php
require_once "ismobile.php";
if (ismobile() == true) {
 header("location: http://mobile.thinkdolphin.com/")
 exit;
}
?>

When I test that on my iphone the homepage is completely blank.

Can anyone help? Thanks!
