We have a site developed in PHP. It is working just fine. We have used JQuery for every kind of situation like slide shows, menus, etc.

This site contains a lot of images which are large in size. because of this when viewed in a mobile phone user has to scroll a lot.

How can we recognize whether the client (browser) trying to access our site is a mobile phone or a standard PC.

Is there any standard way to build site for such situations?

TIA
