Oscommerce ! $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

[eth0g]

Hi all,


I am building a virtual appliance of Oscommerce. Which is a shopping cart platform for building online stores (built with PHP and html). I have built a similar Mambo virtual appliance, and with mambo i managed to fix a problem which had me stumped for a while, but not with oscommerce.

Because the ip address can vary based on the preferences of the user who loads the virtual appliance, i need Oscommerce to dynamicly pick up the ip address that server currently holds. With mambo i changed the live site path to the following:

[b]$mosConfig_live_site = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; [/b]

(wheras ussualy this would be similar to this:
$mosConfig_live_site =  'http://www.bigshop.com.au' ; ) 


So my question is how do i do this for oscommerce. I need to replace the "http://www.yourdomain.com"  below with somthin like $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ?????? . I have tried lots of variations of what i used for mambo to no avail.


Line i need to fix:
[b]
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers[/b]



Cheers for any help, hope someone who is a PHP expert can sort this form me.

Have you tried this:

[code=php:0]define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers[/code]

The reason being that HTTP_HOST doesn't include the leading "http://"
