Using PHP framework to display mobile vs desktop websites

Out of curiosity, is it possible to use MVC (PHP, proprietary framework) to display mobile sites to mobile users and desktop sites to desktop users by rendering different pages?

For example, if I detect mobile devices in PHP and use my controller to render mobile.home.php instead of desktop.home.php, is this bad programming practice? I've attempted to design responsive sites with media queries but I'm not much of a design guy.

What's wrong with this implementation?
