Host mutliple websites with a PHP Script ???

nobleclem

I found this on some other forums and some guy says that he is using this to host several website using one shared hosting account... I would assume that you would need a dedicated IP and a DNS host such as ZoneEdit to do this but is this logistical and what side effects could / would there be?

<?php

## support in case you want to mirror your domains locally. 
## I always set my local domains to local.mydomain.com in the 
## c:/windows/host file as well as the http.conf file of my apache server
if (strstr($HTTP_HOST, 'local.'))
  {
  $where='local';
  }
else
  {
  $where='www';
  }

### your domain list
$host['myFirstDomain.com']="http://$where.mydomain.com/index_01.php";
     ### php scripts must be accessed via the internet
$host['myOtherDomain.org']="./index_02.html";
     ### html files can be accessed directly
$host['myThirdDomain.net']="./third/index.html";
     ### accessing a page in a folder
### You can have as many domains in the list as you like



### laod the file and display it.
reset ($host);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($host)) 
  {
  if(stristr($HTTP_HOST, $key))
    {
    $found='yes';
    $file=file($val);
    $html=join('', $file);
    print $html;
    }
  }


### Stuff to display if accesed via IP, rather than any of the domains
if(!found)
  {
  echo "
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<font face=verdana>
<p align=center>";
$datestamp = date("M. jS, Y &\\n\b\s\p\; g:ia");
$name = gethostbyaddr ($REMOTE_ADDR);
echo "It is currently $datestamp Central Time.<br>
You are $name at $REMOTE_ADDR<br>Your activity is being logged.</p>
<p align=center> </p>
<p align=center>You have reached the IP address</p>
<p align=center><font size=6 color=#FF0000><b>64.49.228.141</b></font></p>
<p align=center>There is nothing here for you to see. Please go away.</p>
</font>
</body>
</html>
    ";
  }
?>

Hallo,

i use this script to handle multiple domains:

switch ($domain) {
case "domain1":
header("Location: file.htm");
break;
...
}

nobleclem

well my main concern that I forgot to mention is if my main domain is domain1.com and I setup domain2.com with ZoneEdit and pointed it to the IP of domain1.com and used a PHP script to redirect each of the domains to a different folder (i.e. public_html/domain1/ or public_html/domain2) would I beable to keep www.domain2.com/page1.html or would it be www.domain1.com/domain2/page1.html

?????😕

Try it...

if you use
header("Location: http://www.domain.com/file.htm");

then is this your address.
