PHP and Domain Names

[Anon]

Hi All

Is there anyway of detecting the URL a user would use to access your web site and then redirect them to another part of your web site.

EG: http://www.mysite.com would direct the browser to htt://www.anothersite.com/showthispage.php

Thanks

Yup...

<?
function redirect_to($str_url)
{
echo("
<script language=\"javascript\">
window.location=\"".$str_url."\";
</script>");
}

switch($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'])
{
case "www.urlone.com":
redirect_to("whateverurl1");
break;
case "www.urltwo.com":
redirect_to("whateverurl2");
break;
default:
}
?>

Is $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'] available within a PHP script rather than using Javascript.

If so, could I then use the header() command to redirect the page?

yes it is a php header. you could use headers to redirect providing you are not outputting anything to the page before you call the header redirect.
