Header problems.

[Teach]

Hi guys.
Hope you can help.

I created the below code to provide a few functions:

• We don't want to allow people to use http://ourdomain.com to access our site, we always want www present, so to rename it to http://www.ourdomain.com.

• We don't want any blank http://www.ourdomain.com/ instead, we want it to always show the file, i.e. index.php, so it gets rewrote to http://www.ourdomain.com/index.php

The below code is working perfectly, except in one instance.

If we have a URL like http://www.ourdomain.com/index.php?id=4 it unfortunately gets rewrote to http://www.ourdomain.com/index.php?id=4index.php (with index.php after the id). Any ideas on how to prevent this?

The code:

if (strpos ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'www.') !== 0) {
  if(preg_match("/\..{3,4}$/", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
    header ('Location: http://www.ourdomain.com' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); 
    exit();
  }else{
    header ('Location: http://www.ourdomain.com' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].'index.php'); 
    exit();
  };
}else{
  if(!preg_match("/\..{3,4}$/", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
    header ('Location: http://www.ourdomain.com' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].'index.php'); 
    exit();
  };
};

Many thanks.

instead of making it a php issue, why not fix it at the webserver at once ?
You can see it the other way around here, but gives a little to think about:
