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?

If you are running Apache, you do realize that all of this can be done in Apache instead of PHP right? Here is an example of what I have on my domain. <VirtualHost x.x.x.x:80>

        ServerName example.com
        ServerAlias wwww.example.com
        ServerAlias ww.example.com
        RedirectMatch (.*) http://www.example.com$1

</VirtualHost> Jim Lucas

Or in DNS zone file (assuming you have an A record for example.com):

www.example.com.                 IN CNAME        example.com.

Nevermind. I guess this would already be in place or the conf, .htaccess or PHP wouldn't even be running. :-(

I thought about starting a new thread for every different idea that I had in reply to this post. What do y'all think? -Shawn

worth noting somewhere on the net, not quite sure if here is the best place for it to be honest.
