Gather URL From Address Bar?

Departed · 17-04-2005, 22:10

Im not sure if this is in right scripting section but here goes nothing;

I have got a problem, i have 3 parked domains at my hosting account, i need them to "point" to different sub-directories within my hosting account.
After speaking to my hosting support they say it is not possible, (Tell me if they're wrong) so i need another alternative.

I was thinking of a script like this. This script would gather the URL from the address bar and then redirect to a page determinde by me.

So say i went to www.flubb.com the script would gather the url and redirect to www.flubb.com/flubb.
And if i went to www.jdjokes.com the script would gather the url and redirect to www.jdjokes.com/jdjokes.

Hope it makes sense.

EDIT: If worse comes to worse i can just have a spash page saying "What are you looking for" and then they click what the site they are looking for. But i would rather a script.

Can you not just use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?
Not sure if this would do what you are wanting, but it will return the name of the requested url

Yeah, but then how would i use that to redirect; when the url is a certain domain; to a certain page?

**Wistow** · 17-04-2005, 22:35

using IF statements?

how about:

<?php

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URL'] == "http://domain.com") {

header('Location: http://place.com/wherverv');

} else if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URL'] == "http://domain1.com") {

header('Location: http://place.com/wherverv');

}
?>
And do that. I'm not great at PHP, just started, but it's a guess ;P

If you could give me the exact code where i only have to change the domains and specifics, it would make life a gawd lot easier for the fat guy.
And theres some WMT? in it for you, even though you're the admin.... :s
Im off to sleep check back tommorow after school.

Thanks in advance

Flubber.

EDIT: Trying Ic3colds solution. But if you find a flaw in it before i do please tell. Thanks ic3cold!

**Wistow** · 17-04-2005, 22:42

Ic3cold's solution should work, if you replace the REQUEST_URL with REQUEST_URI

oops, sorry, I thought you made a type and it was URL. Sorry, here it is all agian:

PHP Code:

  <?php

 
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == "http://domain.com") {

 
header('Location: http://place.com/wherverv');

 
} else if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == "http://domain1.com") {

 
header('Location: http://place.com/wherverv');

 
}

?>

What does URI mean anyways?

**Wistow** · 17-04-2005, 23:01

URI means Uniform Resource Identifier and is exactly the same as what a URL is (Uniform Resource Locator) Just different acronyms I suppose

Well, I learned something new today

Hope that works for you Flubber
