Re: PHP Template Trouble

But the dedicated server has security. In order to use it you must create accounts (these are your ftp accounts) so basically I have example mapped to www.example.com and example2 mapped to www.example2.com example's root dir would be along the lines of: c:\inetpub\www\example\htdocs example2's root dir would be c:\inetput\www\example2\htdocs Example2 cannot access the root dir of example because of the security, it gives a permission denied error and the same the other way around.

Cool, then what you want to do is make all the domains point to the same directory, have your files index.php and config.php in that directory and it should work like magic. Then you end up with one copy of the files and how ever many sites you need. No frames, no duplicated code. It's been a long time (5+ years) since I worked with Windows/IIS, sorry I don't have more specific instructions on how to do the above. Hope that's enough to get you started in the right direction. -Brad -----Original Message----- From: Kevin [mailto:Kevin@harveywalsh.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 10:15 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP Template Trouble Yes all the sites are located on a Windows 2003 Dedicated Server.

Kevin, Are all these sites hosted on the same box? -Brad -----Original Message----- From: Kevin [mailto:Kevin@harveywalsh.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 9:37 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP Template Trouble Hi Brad, That sounds like a good idea however: Where would config.php go? If it goes on the www.solution.com side of things, then $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] will always be www.solution.com and if it goes on another then it would be www.example1.com. What you have put would be the kind of solution I am looking for but its the $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] variable that would need to be posted through correctly, even if using frames on www.example1.com (using them to load www.solution.com) $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] would still equal www.example1.com Thanks Kevin Brad Fuller wrote:

    
Hi,

I am trying to have 1 template site and have an unlimited number of websites using this template site to call there own information. The sites are exactly the same except for the database, each of the sites also needs there own URL, for example one of these urls may be www.example1.com and the other www.example2.com. These sites are identical apart from the database they call to, one will call to a database called example1 and the other example2. I want another site (for example www.solution.com) to read what url has been entered and to pull in the database for that site (either example1 or example2) and show that information. I have tried using the CURL library without success (not sure how to use it fully) and have tried using frames but had loads of problems regarding losing session data. can anyone help? Thanks Kev

Here's just an idea to give you maybe a starting point to go from... <?php // config.php $db_host = "localhost"; $db_user = "foo"; $db_pass = "bar"; switch($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]){ case "www.example1.com": $db_name = "example1"; break; Case "www.example2.com": $db_name = "example2"; break; case "www.template.com": $db_name = "template"; break; } ?> <?php // index.php include("config.php"); $link = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass); mysql_select_db($db_name); ... ?>
