this still does not work, if a domain has no preceeding www. it redirects to http://www.www.site.com, if it has a www. it goes to www.www.mydomain.com, any ideas? <?php class URL {

    public $ServerName;
    public $WWW;
        // Public Functions
        public function __construct() {

            header($redir);
               }
       }

} $myURL = new URL(); $myURL->WWWRedirect(); ?>

just try "if ($POS !== 0) {"

well, that said, isn't the first position in a string 0 ? So, in the above example the OP would need // This would mean that www. was found any where in the string if ( $POS ) or // Would mean that www. was found at the beginning of the string if ( $POS === 0 )

Remember that in PHP land $var = 0 evaluates to FALSE. So strpos('foo', 'f') will return 0 (first char), which in an if() expression would turn to false: if(strpos('foo', 'f')) { echo 'f found in foo'; } else { echo 'f not found in foo, or maybe it is the first character; we can not tell'; } That's the reason people use strpos('foo', 'f) !== false since that differentiates the false result (nothing found) from an integer result (for the position it was found on). - Tul
