Redirect , need help!

[shingomama]

Hi!

I am a beginner and I really do not know what I am doing, so please bare with me...

I am trying to redirect based on the vistor's IP

It works great when I put in a site that has nothing to do with my own, to redirect to.

 

So let's say I put in if this is a US IP, please go to www.google.com

It redirects to google, however, if i put in my own website address, it gives me a 403 and a 404.

 

What am I doing wrong!?!? ???

 

Also, to further expand upon this script, how do I redirect it so if it is a US IP, it stays on that particular page?

For example, if it is www.us.com/fellow.php

I want it to stay there if it is US site, but if a RU site, go to ru.us.com/fellow.php

 

thank you so much in advance for your help!

 

Here is the script:

<?php 
// Replace this MYSQL server variables with actual configuration 
$mysql_server = "localhost"; 
$mysql_user_name = "********"; 
$mysql_user_pass = "********"; 

// Retrieve visitor IP address from server variable REMOTE_ADDR 
$ipaddress = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR); 

// Convert IP address to IP number for querying database
$ipno = Dot2LongIP($ipaddress); 

// Connect to the database server 
$link = mysql_connect($mysql_server, $mysql_user_name, $mysql_user_pass) or die("Could not connect to MySQL database"); 

// Connect to the IP2Location database 
mysql_select_db("rinkya_IpToCountry") or die("Could not select database"); 

// SQL query string to match the recordset that the IP number fall between the valid range 
$query = "SELECT * FROM main WHERE $ipno <= IPTO AND $ipno>=IPFROM"; 

// Execute SQL query 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("IP2Location Query Failed"); 

// Retrieve the recordset (only one) 
$row = mysql_fetch_object($result); 

// Keep the country information into two different variables 
$CTRY = $row->CTRY; 
$COUNTRY = $row->COUNTRY; 

// Free recordset and close database connection 
mysql_free_result($result); mysql_close($link); 

// If the visitors are from US, redirect them to US site 
if ($CTRY == "US") 
{
  Header("Location: http://www.us.com"); 
} elseif ($CTRY == "DM") 
{
  Header("Location: http://dm.us.com"); 
} elseif ($CTRY == "RU") 
{
  Header("Location: http://ru.us.com"); 
} else { 
// Otherwise, redirect them to US site 
  Header("Location: http://www.us.com");
}
exit;

// Function to convert IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) to IP number (0 to 256^4-1) 
function Dot2LongIP ($IPaddr) { 
if ($IPaddr == "") 
{
   return 0;
} else { 
   $ips = split ("\.", "$IPaddr"); 
   return ($ips[3] + $ips[2] * 256 + $ips[1] * 256 * 256 + $ips[0] * 256 * 256 * 256); 
}
} 
?>

How it gives 403 AND a 404?

 

AFTER the script is run, it gives 404 error?

It script is running properly, then your address do not exist that it gives you 404. which means the redirect is working fine, you gotta check your address.

Hi

Here is what it says.  The address I am using is fine. It works direct, without this script.

 

403

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

 

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
