Redirection

[Anon]

Can anybody shed some light on URL Redirection using PHP I've tried two different ways now to no avail. What I have is 6 URL's going to one website and I want to redirect visitors to the directory that contains the specific pages they're looking for i.e. someone types elkebella.com I want it to go to themadgeek.com/elkebella/index.htm. Is there an easy way to grap this info and redirect them? I've yet to find it.

Thanks

// $HTTP_HOST = "elkebella.com";
$split = explode(".", $HTTP_HOST);
header("Location: http://themadgeek.com/" . $split[sizeof($split) - 2] . "/index.htm");

if ($userinput == "elkebella.com")
{
header("http://themadgeek.com/elkebella/index.htm");
}

else if ....
{
header("http://other url");
}

I'm assuming you know how to get the user's
input into a variable.

Make sure you don't pass any text to
the browser prior to executing one of the
header() commands. No echo()'s, no print()'s,
no HTML tags, etc.

Sorry, I forgot the Location: part of the
header command.

header("Location: http://url_to_go_to");

You might also check the thread I started below titled "Calling the Next Form."

Read it carefully. There's a gold mine of information there, esp. due to other people's input here.
