[SOLVED] Using info after domain in address bar

[wwfc_barmy_army]

Hello.

 

I'm not sure how to go about this but I am wondering how to use a peice of info (a domain) from the address bar. To explain I will use the example of domaintools.com.

When you put an address into the text box (in this example google.com) and click submit the address turns to:

http://whois.domaintools.com/google.com

 

I am just wondering how you are able to a) load the page even with that domain at the end b) Get that domain as a variable to use from the domain.

 

Thanks for any advice/code.

 

(P.s. I am not creating a whois site lol)

htaccess url rewrite

I know this isn't PHP, but would it be something like:

 

RewriteRule ^/$ /domaincheck.php?domain=$1

 

Something along those lines? I've never played with htaccess before as you can probably tell lol.

Actually, I've found some more stuff i've read up on. Would it be more along these lines:

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ domaincheck.php?domain=$1

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ domaincheck.php?domain=$1

 

Thanks for any advice

Hello.

 

I have this rewrite code now:

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?do=$1
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ index.php?do=$1

 

The 'do' variable holds a domain name. So it would be something like:

http://mydomain.com/domain.com

 

So domain.com is what I am after.

 

It goes to index.php ok, no problems there. BUT when i try to get the 'do' variable it says it's 'index.php'.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)?/?$ index.php?domain=$1 [L,QSA]

It now says:

 

When i try http://ictwebserv/check/test.com.

 

Not Found

The requested URL /check/test.com was not found on this server.

 

Any ideas?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)?/?$ index.php?do=$1 [L,QSA]
