domain host shareing problem.

laeelin

I have several domains that I want to share the same host.

The code below (index.php in the root) is called when anyone types in any of the domains that share the site.

currently it should be waiting 5 seconds, then forwarding the visitor to the folder for that site.

What I want to happen is:

www.violinweddings.com goes to www.violinweddings.com/violin
www.blue-butterfly.com goes to www.blue-butterfly.com/blue
www.butterflygifts.net goes to www.butterfly-baskets.com/baskets

What actually happens is:

www.violinweddings.com goes to www.blue-butterfly.com/violin
www.blue-butterfly.com goes to www.blue-butterfly.com/blue
www.butterflygifts.net goes to www.blue-butterfly.com/baskets

I'm not sure why it's changeing to www.blue-butterfly.com. blue-butterfly IS the primary domain, but I dont understand why it's doing this.

The second part of my question what would be a good way to change to the correct location without causeing problems for the visitors.

thanks,
David

function Get_Domain_Path($domain)
{//*one*
	$SQLresult=mysql_query($query);
		switch($domain) {//*one*  finds the path to that domains files.
		case 'www.blue-butterfly.com':
		$dlink='http://www.blue-butterfly.com/blue';
		break;
		case 'www.butterflygifts.net':
		$dlink='http://www.butterfly-baskets.com/baskets';
		break;
		case 'www.violinweddings.com':
		$dlink='http://www.violinweddings.com/violin';
		break;
		case 'www.startingdreams.com':
		$dlink='http://www.startingdreams.com/startingdreams';
		break;
		case 'www.fccstarke.com':
		$dlink='http://www.fccstarke.com/church';
		break;
		default:
		$dlink='http://www.butterfly-baskets.com/baskets';
	}//*one*
	return $dlink;
}//*one*
$dlink = Get_Domain_Path($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]);
echo '<HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="5;URL='.$dlink.'"></HEAD></HTML>';

Try putting a "/" at the end of your domain folders... like www.violinweddings.com/violin/

Sometimes depending on the server setup it requires a trailing / or it rewrites it with a trailing / but uses the main domain name setup in the server. It is a server thing not a scripiting one. I did not see anything wrong with your scipt, just one question...

Why the $SQLresults at the top.. unless there is more to the script that you are not showing us... (which is just fine)

Hope this helps

That was it, thanks PHPdev =)

There is more to the page, it's just that everything else is commented out right now while I fix this problem =)

How would you suggest I forward them to the correct location?

useing a <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="5;URL='.$dlink.'"> tag doesnt do what I want to have done.

would this be the correct way to work this?

header ("Location: http://www.whatever.com");

I could run my script, enter the tracking information and then forward them to the correct location without the visitior recieveing any delay...

I need to wait till i get home and test it =)

Since you are already in PHP, and so less information is transfered to the browser I would suggest using the header() function.
