Pointing

[bushtec]

I have 1 web site and an additional domain pointing to it. What I need to do is take the extra domain that is pointing to the web site and direct that to a folder within the web site. My hosting co. said that it is done with PHP but neither them nor I know how. I have tried searching but to no avail.

Thanks,

Rick

You <i>CAN</i> do this in php by checking switching on the contents of $HTTP_HOST:

switch $HTTP_HOST {
&nbsp;case 'www.site1.com':
&nbsp;&nbsp;header("Location: /site1/");
&nbsp;&nbsp;break;
&nbsp;case 'www.site2.com':
&nbsp;&nbsp;header("Location: /site2/");
&nbsp;&nbsp;break;
}

But if you are with a hosting company, then you probably are already on a virtual server (unless they gave you a dedicated server?). They should already have mechanisms for handling multiple domains. For instance, on servers running *nix + Apache, you would modify your apache.conf file to re-direct different domain requests to their appropriate directories. This is much more efficient than the above method
