chaning URL / saving passw w form

[jodleren]

Hi!

I need solution to change the url but not the page.

I need something like whan going to a site, the url changes to
whatever, but there is no page count, so I just get the new (right)
address, but when going back I go back to the page I came from.
Secondly I dont want a back-trap.

Why?

Say someone opens www.mysite.com, end is gives index.php to the clinet
- which enters a password and the browser offers to save that -
later, when logged out, the client is sent to www.mysite.com/index.php,
and the browser offers to save that password too... for another url,
but still the same page...

any ideas?
this is in use quite many places, but I just cannot figure how it
works...

Use a server Location header.

Don't try to use client-side script to solve a server-side issue.

That is because they are different URL's.

Location headers on the server that when www.mysite.com is encountered
it redirects to www.mysite.com/index.php

Thanks. That was what I was looking for!

Searched for it here and found out. Thanks again

If your server is Apache....

a) The above is more usually done with DirectoryIndex command.

b) If you want your server to respond to mysite.com as www.mysite.com,
or the other way about, check out the ServerAlias command.
