PHP if-Host redirect

Sorcer

If you have 2 domains pointed on a commercial Apache webhost, whats the best way for me to point them to different "index" files, if i i.e. one goes to www.domain1.com he is suppose to go to index1.html

and the ohter one goes to www.domain2.com and he is suppose to go to index2.html
both sites reside in the same directory...

httpd.conf

<VirtualHost *>
    DocumentRoot /home/www/domain1
    ServerName domain1.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
    DocumentRoot /home/www/domain2
    ServerName domain2.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
    DocumentRoot /home/www/domain3
    ServerName domain3.com
</VirtualHost>

yea, but since its a commercial webhost i cant do that, im damn glad they allowed the other site to be posted to the same place... 🙂

But its fixxed...

used this instead...
<?
if ($HTTP_HOST == 'www.getting-porn.com')
{
header ("Location: gp.html");
exit;
}
if ($HTTP_HOST == 'getting-porn.com')
{
header ("Location: gp.html");
exit;
}
?>

The other host was www.gettingmovies.com
had to rename that gp.html file, cause it was index.html first...
it took that before it read this in the index.php code

If you've only got a small handful of domains (under 3) take a look at http://www.domaindirector.us and ask for a free eval... It is written from the ground up in PHP, works on just about ANY server configuration around, doesn't need access to config files or require restarts of the server, and the provider can't prevent you from using it since the whole thing is "passive" the ISP would have to turn off PHP to prevent you from using it... Full support for domains and subdomains if you wish...

A nicer method:

switch($HTTP_HOST)
{
case "www.domain1.com" :
$redir_url = "domain1.html";
break;
case "www.domain2.com" :
$redir_url = "domain2.html";
break;
}

header("Location: ".$redir_url);
exit;

Instead of a redirect, I'd include the seperate indexes. This way you don't lose the semblance that you are running two sites.

switch ($_HOST){

case: "pornsite";
  include ('pornindex.php');
  break;
default:
  include('movieindex.php');
  break;

}

This is also a better method because on lower versions of Netscape, header("location: "); doesn't work.

This is what I did until I found a host that allowed pointed domains, which gives you the ability to run a whole site from a subdirectory.
