[Resolved] detecting the URL

[jacksonpt]

I've got 2 registered domain names, but only 1 server. I'd like to point both domain names to the same IP, and setup a php script that says something to the effect of:

if (URL = domain name 1) {
go to MyIP/site1
} else {
go to MyIP/site2
}

Is that possible?

This is what Apache's namebased hosting is for, it's a much better setup than doing it with PHP, however, if you really want to do it in PHP, create a file with the following:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

When you view this page on your server, it will dump information about the server. Search the resulting page for the domain name and you'll see which variables you need to query in php, then just use a simple if/else.

Excellent, thanks. I'll look into Apache's namebased hosting first, but it sounds like one way or another I'll get it worked out.

I marked the thread as resolved because from a php standpoint it is. But I have a couple of questions about namebased hosting. Is there a way I can contact you off the boards to talk about it? I suspect they are pretty basic questions, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
