What URL?

**Bigjohn** · September 9th, 2004, 2:16 PM

Situation -

client has parked domains (main=.com, plus .net / .org).

How, with PHP, do I detect which URL the site visitor is coming to the site through?

He wants to echo to the customer "Thanks for coming to MYSITE.COM" if the guest comes via http://mysite.com.

He wants to echo to the customer "Thanks for coming to MYSITE.ORG" if the guest uses http://mysite.org

Etc.

See what I'm trying to do? It should be possible.. but I don't know how...

PHP to detect what site?

These looks like the same thread to me.

by the way....

could it not just be

echo ( somestringmanipulationfunction($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']));

without the if? that way it just works now and forever.

Yea but I have a tendency to code things more complicated than they really are.

No worries

PHP Code:


			
<?php echo "Thanks for coming to $HTTP_HOST.";?>

That will work.

Eww, you used $HTTP_HOST. Never use it that way, ugly ugly. Only do that if you've done something like $HTTP_HOST = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

What's wrong with it, it works doesn't it? And if that is all the code on the page, why not use it, it is clean and simple.
