Redirect by referer URL

Anon

Hi,

I tried searching the forum about this but no joy, so i appologize if this is a repost.

I have several Domain Names pointed to the one IP. I'd like to redirect the user to a different location based on the URL they used to access the site.

Is this possable with PHP?

Any examples of code?

Thanks in advance.

Victim.

Hmmmm... is this the case? You have::

http://www.whatever.com => 123.45.67.89
http://www.anothersite.com => 123.45.67.89
http://www.lastone.com => 123.45.67.89

::all pointing to 123.45.67.89 (a single IP) is this correct? If so, read on.

1.) Do you have access of your web server? If so, I think you will find it easier to configure your web browser with several 'virtual webs' so that::

http://www.whatever.com => 123.45.67.89/dir1
http://www.anothersite.com => 123.45.67.89/dir2
http://www.lastone.com => 123.45.67.89/dir3

::that way you can treat them as different yet manage users and routes better.

2.) If you have no control, then a bit more difficult way would be to have PHP read teh referer from the HTTP headers and have it redirect accordingly.

Hope this helps - have fun!

Here it is-
I have included a couple of HTTP header readers below. These are some of the most popular ones. All these do is grab the information from the (invisible) header of the incoming HTML page. You will be able to use it along with variables to redirect to desired locations. You can even use the 4th one to determine which browser they are using so you can send them to an "IE" or "Netscape" version of your site or use the appropriate CSS style sheet.

<?php

$visitor_time = date("F jS Y, h:iA");

if ($REMOTE_HOST == "") $visitor_info = "ACK No host";
else $visitor_info = $REMOTE_HOST;

if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $visitor_info2 = "ACK No address";
else $visitor_info2 = $REMOTE_ADDR;

if ($HTTP_REFERER == "") $visitor_info3 = "OH DEAR No referer";
else $visitor_info3 = $HTTP_REFERER;

if ($HTTP_USER_AGENT == "") $visitor_info4 = "WEIRDNESS No browser or other browser used";
else $visitor_info4 = $HTTP_USER_AGENT;

Hope this helps - have fun!

Sorry, but which one of your examples is the redirect on basis of the URL a user typed in? And how am I going to interpret the variables? Much confusion.
