redirecting pcs away from mobile sites: good code, anyone?

to prevent computer users from grabbing our mobile sites, is there a good code floating around to redirect them away from our mobile site, at least the index page? I thought I saw something here the other day that would display a qr code to the computer user, which is brilliant. Can't seem to find that now, though. peace

There is no point. A PC user is only going to end up on your mobile site if they want to by choice. They will not be redirected there unless they are using a mobile device. Besides, a PC user can always emulate a mobile device by changing their user agent in browsers such as Safari and Firefox so they will always be able to view your mobile site if they want to.

I would not worry about this at all.
