Sometimes I want to use php to detect the type of device to forward to another site. How is that possible in Xerte?

You cannot use php for that in Xerte. A Xerte LO is purely client-side based, so you would need to accomplish the same in javascript.

Wat kind of devices would you like to be able to detect?

Some lo's are specially made for a mobile and have a different version for laptops. This has to do with the size of images and tables or too many tabs for a mobile to keep a clear screen.
I have solved this by the opening off my site and immediately detect what the device is and from there to go to other menu pages that again refer to other lo's.
So it is solved.
For them who want to know how I did it the script. It seems to work well so far
vo-xerte.php is my menusite
vo-xerte_m.php is my menusite for mobiles.

$deviceType = checkDevice();
if ($deviceType==0) {

} else if ($deviceType==1) {
