redirect script

[jpratt]

I am new to doing redirects and found a script to try, it looks like this:

[code]<?
$remote = getenv("HTTP_HOST");
$fp = fopen("redirect.txt", "r"); 

while (!feof($fp)):
$line = fgets($fp,1800); 
$line_list = explode("|",$line); 

$url1 = $line_list[0];
$url2 = $line_list[1];
$redirect = $line_list[2];

if ($url1 == $remote or $url2 == $remote):
Header("Location:$redirect");
$closefp = fclose($fp); 
endif;
endwhile;
$closefp = fclose($fp); 
?> [/code]

Also the text file:

alaskanflyrod.com|www.alaskanflyrod.com|akrod/index.php

and the header in the main account index page pointing to the redirect.php page:

<? require("redirect.php");?>

any ideas why this is not working? Thanks for the help.

Unless your site's hostname is alaskanflyrod.com the script will not execute the header() function and the browser will not be redirected.

my host is arcticsoft.net, how should it look then?

For that you would need to say what it is you're trying to do.

If the user types arcticsoft.net they get the main account page under htdocs, if they type alaskanflyrod.com they are redirected to the akrod folder and that site opens up.
