Getting the actual URL in browser when

[news]

I'm trying to mask a URL and found a great way to point one domain to
another while keeping the original domain name in the browser address
bar:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/demodomain
ServerName demodomain.com
ServerAlias www.demodomain.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /(.*) http://www.actualdomain.com/$1 [P]
</VirtualHost>

But I need to be able to determine if the bowser address is
"actualdomain.com" or "demodomain.com".
I've tried to get it with these:

$host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$uri = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$servername = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$httphost = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$httpref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$remotehost = $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'];
$requri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

But $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is the only one that will show one or the
other correctly, however, ONLY after the person clicks on an href on
the page. The initial page they go to that variable will be unset.

Is there any way to determine which domain name is in the browser
address bar from the start?
Thanks!!

Why go to all that trouble? Just create an alias entry for the other domain.
No rewriting necessary.

Or, if you want different options, create another virtual host for the other
domain and point it at the same directory.

Which would give you a great oppertunity to use $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php
'SERVER_NAME'

The name of the server host under which the current script is executing. If
the script is running on a virtual host, this will be the value defined for
that virtual host.

Oh, my gawd. *thumps self in head* I can't believe I didn't think of
that.
Man! I suck!
Thanks for the clue-by-four. =/

Sometimes the obvious is *too* obvious? :-)
