Re-Direction

[triponline]

I have a site on a Linux virtual server. I have the ability to host domain names. Those domain names all resolve to the host domain index page.

Ex:
Domain host is aaa.com
Additional domain names are bbb.com and ccc.com. They all go the same index page at aaa.com

Subdirectories on aaa.com exist that hold the desired contents of bbb.com or ccc.com site.

Is there a script that can redirect a user to the sub-directory based upon the domain name entered?

Ex:
host domain is aaa.com.
Additional domains name are: bbb.com and ccc.com.

User enters bbb.com.
Script detects the requested domain and directs the user to aaa.com/bbb. Had they entered ccc.com they would have been directed to aaa.com/ccc.

Appreciate any help.

Just need to know what domain they entered and then send a header().

A simple script, can be done all in one line:
header('Location: http://www.aaa.com/'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/');

However, this will redirect to www.aaa.com/www.bbb.com, but you get the point.

To triponline:

Mordecai has already answered the post, which is to use the header() function. I anticipate that your first problem with the header() function will be some error messages about headers already being sent. You'll see.

When it happens, just be aware that nothing can be outputted BEFORE the header call.

For example, not acceptable:

<?php
echo"You're logged in now!";
header("Location: post_login_page.php");
?>

That echo statement outputs, so you will get the header error messages that I described. Do not put anything before the header call that will output.

Let's attempt to follow the RFC and not send them a bad header:
header('Location: http://www.the.full.uri/to/your/page.php');
