  Setting up comprehensive PHP redirects

  Jan 03, 2013 05:24 AM|LINK

  Hey guys,

  What I want to do is redirect a URL to it's matching path on another domain.

  http://oldexample.com/this-is-the-path/

  would redirect to:

  http://newexample.com/this-is-the-path/

  I've written a PHP script which basically detects and collects the current pages URL, parses it using parse_url, and appends the path onto the new host.

  This works on a hosting setup I have elsewhere, however when I try and do it on an IIS server I get a 404 error because it can't find /this-is-the-path/.

  What do I need to do to enable this??

  Or what would be a smarter way of enabling this kind of redirection?

  The code isn't super important because it works on another environment, but will post it anyway:

  <?php
  
  function curPageURL() {
   $pageURL = 'http';
   if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
   $pageURL .= "://";
   if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
    $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
   } else {
    $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
   }
   return $pageURL;
  }
  
  $url = curPageURL();
  
  header('Location: http://newexample.com' . parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH));
  ?>
