redirection

Anon

I am about to park a domain, I have been looking at apache and php predefined variables to figure out what I need. When someone hits my site via parkeddomain.com I want to redirect them to the proper directory on maindomain.com. I would also like to keep the address bar looking like parkeddomain.com if at all possible, parkeddomain.com could be frameset to insure address stays clean while surfing the site.
Basically I am lost as to how to sniff out which url the visitor is looking for, and how to control the address bar.
Hope that is clear. Any pointers gladly accepted.
Thanks,
Jim

Try making script which redirects the frame you want to the desired address.
example
<a href="redirect.php?address=http://www.mysite.com" target="main">text here</a>

and the redirect.php is :

<?
header("Location: $address");
?>

If you want it to be redirected from the very start just name this script index.php or so and replace $address with the address you want.
This method is a general redirection tool.

Hoping I was usefull.
Ask if you got errors

How do I detect which domain name the visitor is expecting to see.... as both myDomain.com and prakedDomain.com will point to same place (myDomain.com/index.phtml) and the other point is when I redirect to myDomain.com/parkedDomain/ how can I get the address bar to reflect parkedDomain.com.

TIA,
Jim

About the first:
The both domains have as index file a frameset, one(or even both) of which point to the real domain.So when you type mydomain.com you get redirected to the index file only in one of the frames and the visitor doesn't see the actual redirection.
There is no proble for thee second frame to point to a page in the other domain, too.
From now on everything redirection with target="main" will actually point to the second site but will not be shown to users.
Hoping I've been helpfull.

Ok...

1] Which variable tells me which site the visitor is looking for?

2] Can I control the addressbar at all?

I understand header redirects, and framesets, I don't know what to look for in order to know where to redirect to, and I would also like to know if I can mask in some way the address bar.
TIA,
