Redirect depending on HTTP Referer

[JIS]

I am running apache web server on a Linux 8.0 which has a Dynamic IP which i mask with a static name from dyndns (eg. me.homip.net).

I am needing to host mutilple domains but cannot use the virtual host function in Apache due to my static name having a mask.

However, HTTP Referer does send the correct URL the user has typed into the browser.

I was thinking it might be possible to point all the domains to a file called something like php.index and with that file somehow it picked on the http referer and pointed them to the correct index page. If possible this would be done invisable to the user.

Any help would be appericated.

Thanks

Sure, check the HTTP Referer like this:

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

Then do a lot of if / elses or something, maybe use stristr() to find which domain they used:

if (stristr ($SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], "domainname1")) {
header ("Location: http://www.domainname1.com");
} else if (stristr ($SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], "domainname2")) {
header ("Location: http://www.domainname2.com");
}

etc. etc. and so on and so forth.

Actually on thinking more, it would be better to include(); rather than send headers, just include the correct file.

Does that help?
