gethostbyaddr

[Anon]

Sorry, if this is in FAQ, but...

I was thinking about small redirection script based on REMOTE_ADDR

<?
$visitor = @gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR);

now $visitor is a string, right? What I want to do is to redirect people who have *.ee in the end of their name to one site (say URL1) and everyone else to URL2. How to do? Is it reasonable at all?

Try this code:

if (substr(@gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR), -2) == "ee") {
Header("Location: http://place.where.people.in.ee.tld.go");
} else {
Header("Location: http://where.everyone.else.goes");
}

Hope that helps.

Although slower, here's another approach just for kicks. I am still trying to get a handle on regex so I test these skills at any possible chance 🙂

<?
$host = gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR);

if ( eregi("(.ee$)", $host)) {
header( "Location: http://www.foo.ee");
}
else {
header( "Location: http://www.foo.com");
}
?>
