1. Only replace the first "domain.com" with your own domain name and put a "\" (backslash) before the "." (dot).. i.e. "domain\.com"

2. You can removed those two lines as they are only comments.

3. Actually, I was wrong, use $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] instead.

Awesome! Thanks. I won't get started on coding for several weeks, but let me make sure I get this right (I'm not a real webmaster so I need to make sure I understand ).

1) There's a "\" before the domain in the first part but but not in the other two places, right? (with me replacing it with my 'primary' domain name)

2) I don't need to write "//if domain.com, then execute code here", I just put some php code (ie. an include file call) in those two orange areas, right?

3) Just checking, but is that a typo in "REQUEST_URI" (should it be REQUEST_URL)?

Thanks again. I'm looking forward to trying this out!

Yes, you easily could do that with PHP...

<?php
if(eregi(\"domain\.com\", $_SERVER[\"HTTP_HOST\"])) {
  //if domain.com, then execute code here
} else {
  //if other than domain.com (i.e. domain.net) execute code here
}
?>

Hmm.. the board doesn't show the backslash "\" before the "." in eregi(). Anyways, the "domain.com" should be "domain\.com"

Actually, now that I know it's possible (depending on what my host says), is there some sort of script that can say "if url says abc.com then load this graphic or include file"?

Cool. Thanks.

Hi Mike,

You can have multiple domains show the same website without forwarding or framing, etc. For example, we have many customers that have .com and .net of a domain and want all to load the same site. You can also have the email work for both domains. As Julia suggested, you need to talk with your web host about this and see if they can do it for you, but it is possible.

Ask your host whether the two domains can both point to the same folder on the server and that way you can have the two domains sharing the same site but will still have their own addresses shoing in the browser.
