Parked Domains and Landing Pages

[ackerley1]

How do I get different pages to initially display when people arrive and my site from parked domain?

In PHP preferable.

I have:
domain1.com > Corporate Area
domain2.com > Product Area

When someone enters or is directed to domain2 I want the product page to display, not the corporate page.

How can this be done?

use php's $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] to figure out which page refered to the current, like so...

<?php
$referring_page = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if( $referring_page == 'domain1.com'){
     //Do Something
}elseif ($referring_page == 'domain2.com'){
     //Do Something Else
}

Thanks, now how would I designate which page to display?

Would I use a refresh/redirect to the proper URL, or is there another way to display the right page?

You can see what I mean here:
www.bcowwoutfitters.com and www.texaswaffles.com
if bcowwoutfiters is the URL used, then I want index.php to display. If texaswaffles is the URL I want index2.php to display.

Now they both use similar headers and footers with different style sheets, so I am wonding if I should set the page content as an include/require and then declare that in the statement you provide.

Any suggestions on how this can be easily achieved?

Thanks

I would think what you're looking for would be as easy as using redirects.

<?php
$referring_page = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if( $referring_page == 'www.bcowwoutfitters.com'){
     header("Location: http://www.bcowwoutfitters/index1.php");
}elseif ($referring_page == 'www.texaswaffles.com'){
     header("Location: http://www.texaswaffles.com/index2.php");
}

Or use the simplest method, which would be to put each domin in it's own virtual domain on the server and save yourself the headaches of possible code breaks. (btw, my code has absolutely no error checking!)

Referrer would be for someone clicking from elsewhere and not the current page, so I don't think the above code would work as expected.

I would personally use .htaccess to accomplish this.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*domain1.com
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.domain1.com/page1.html [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*domain2.com
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.domain2.com/page2.html [L]

That would allow you to make it work without redirects. The ^$ in the rule means root of the domain only. I put the .* on the conditions to match domain1.com or www.domain1.com. If it's domain1.com without the www, this would redirect. You could create 4 sets of conditions and rules if you wanted to keep that straight, too.

I definitely want to avoid the redirect. The .htaccess seems simple and viable.

One concern I have is making sure that it only applies to the index page(s) Once landed on the site and displaying what they want to see the rest of the navigation and pages will be the same, regardless of domian.
