PHP Redirect Problem

[mark babli]

Hello everyone,

If I were to redirect users in HTML using <Meta HTTP_EQUIV... Tag to a
php file, why is it that $_SERVER['HOST'] returns only the domain? I looked
around on the internet and couldn't find that much of a help. What am I
missing? Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks

$_SERVER['HOST'] is not a valid value (at least not for Apache).

If you're talking about $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] it is only supposed to
return the domain (i.e. 'www.example.com').

That what a host is, a computer. It *must* be an IP address or domain name.
In any case, you can get a list of $_SERVER values with:

<?

print_r($_SERVER);

?>

Find there whatever you need (I don't think "HOST" is in the list).

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] would show you the alias, domain and top-level
domain ->
www is an alias to a computer or computers
domain is a ... domain
top-level domain is/are .com .net .edu .cc .us .... etc ... etc

print_r($Server) works, but phpinfo(32) is easier to read IMO
