htaccess help

[Paullas]

Hi

I am hoping someone can help. Is there a way to forward a domain to a specific page depending on the URL it cam from?.

I a diverting all my domains from a parking company to my main site but when they hit my main site i want it to display the page specific for that domain name.

Thank in advance

Paul

You want something along these lines

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.site1.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mainsite.co.uk/site1.html [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.site2.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mainsite.co.uk/site2.html [L,R=301]

Ah thanks, is there a way to wild card it?

As if i have over 500 domains my htaccess will be massive

I wouldn't do it like this as you'd have to add each domain and a rule to your htaccess unless that's what you want to do.
I'd just have an index.php that captures everything and if you have redirected the domain the info will be in the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] variable. You can then strip it down to the domain and redirect accordingly.

If you're forwarding the domains, cant you just forward to the exact page url you want to hit ?

If there is an obvious pattern then you could probably build a regex pattern or 2 to achieve the desired result in .htaccess otherwise a simple PHP redirect as Rob suggests could do the trick
