Quick questions I think.

delstrange

I'm looking for a way to use php to grab the domain name and display it on the page. So that I could have something like "This is a temporary page for "domain name".

Does anyone know how to do this? Is it anything like grabbing the IP address and if so what is the code for it?

Thanks

Use the global variable

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']

nemonoman, I tried what you suggested but it doesn't seem to be working. I saved the file as a .html and .php and neither worked.

This is what I did:

This is a temporary homepage for <?php echo $SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];?>.

any suggestions?

Thanks.

$_SERVER not $SERVER

delstrange

Thanks, that works.

one more thing, is there any way to get php scripts to run on a page without the .php extension? Like if I wanted to have it named a .html or .shtml

Thanks

You will need to be able to edit the file

.htaccess

(note opening dot)

To get the server to parse your .html and .htm pages for php code, you need to create or modify your .htaccess file in your public_html folder, to have the following lines:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm

see http://faq.hostrocket.com/data/fetch.php?page=52

BTW: messing with .htaccess can have some SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. Work carefully. Avoid typos.

Always keep a BACKUP before you mess around.
