PHP URL redirect

[XinXang]

Hi,

stupid question, but I lost the script I use for redirecting my parked domains at index.php - it was a simple list telling which folder to send the domain that comes into the root.

so xinxang.com is main domain, but tosja.com is parked on xinxang.com - when tosja.com arrives at index.php it gets sent to tosja.com/tosja/ - if xinxang.com comes in it gets sent to xinxang.com/xinxang/

it's a basic script but i lost it and can't remember the code.

Anyone know the code for this?

<?php

if (stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], "xingxang.com")) {
  header("Location: http://www.xingxang.com/xingxang");
} else {
  header("Location: http://www.xingxang.com/tosja");
}

?>

i think something like that may work.

So if I would want to do more would I make this into a case statement or something?

<?php

case (stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], "xingxang.com")) {
switch header("xinxang.com", "Location: http://www.xingxang.com/xingxang");
}

{
switch header("tosja.com", "Location: http://www.xingxang.com/tosja");
}

{
switch header("joblo.com", "Location: http://www.xingxang.com/joblo");
}

?>

it may not be the best case for a switch statement since that is used to look for exact matches of some variable, where we dont know if the user types www.XingXang.com or xingxang.com or XiNgXaNg.Com so using the [man]stristr[/man] to check that the case insensitive string is contained in http host. that way it doesnt matter if they use www or not.
you can just use and else if to add more cases to the if.

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /nl/ on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.dinkuhosting.com Port 80

ok, so here's my situation:

I found my original php redirect script which looks like a modified version of what we were discussing above, just uses variables so my list of redirects can get real long real quick with minimal effort - here it is...

<?

$Domain=strtolower($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]);

Redirect("www.dinkuhosting.com", "http://www.dinkuhosting.com/index.php");
Redirect("dinkuhosting.com", "http://www.dinkuhosting.com/index.php");
Redirect("www.dinkuhosting.nl","http://www.dinkuhosting.nl/nl/");
Redirect("dinkuhosting.nl","http://www.dinkuhosting.nl/nl/");

header("Location: home.html");

function Redirect( $hostname, $url )
{
global $Domain;
if ( stristr( $Domain, $hostname ) != FALSE )
{
header("Location: $url\n");
exit;
}
}

?>

and I changed my .htaccess file to read DirectoryIndex redirect.php instead of index.php so now visitors hit my redirect.php page first and if they are asking for dinkuhosting.com they are sent to dinkuhosting.com/index.php - if they are asking for dinkuhosting.nl they get sent to dinkuhosting.nl/nl

THE PROBLEM is now I get the above-mentioned "Forbidden" error when I being sent to this page.

What do I do?

[XinXang]

I think the "Forbidden" error must have something to do with my .htaccess files, because I didn't have this problem before I started messing with the .htaccess files.

I've noticed I have 2 .htaccess files in the root folder of my site - the one I modified and another one that looks like it got put there by mambo.

MINE

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>



DirectoryIndex redirect.php

Options -Indexes

php_value "magic_quotes_gpc" "1"
php_value "register_globals" "1"
php_value "error_reporting" "2039"

THE OTHER ONE

Does anyone see anything here that could be causing my "Forbidden Error" problem in the /nl folder?

Can I just throw these two .htaccess codes into one file?

[XinXang]

I figured it out.

Because I changed the root .htaccess to look for redirect.php as default file instead of index.php this priority propagated to all folders underneath the root folder, as is standard with .htaccess files, unless it comes across a contradictory rule closer in the folder structure to the folder being accessed - with a rule in the folder itself taking precedence over all others. Since I had no such rules it kept looking for redirect.php in the /nl folder.

So what I did was add the line DirectoryIndex index.php in the .htaccess file for /nl folder. This covers the administrator folder under /nl as well which was also causing me problems.

Everything functioning just fine now.
