Mask external url

**william james** · 12-05-2010, 07:09 AM

Hello,

My site contents were hosted under a different domain and I want them to appear on my main domain, Is there any way to do this with the ff url format?

http:// myMAINsite.com/contents.php?go=http://myOTHERsite.com/somecontents.html

The above url format works fine using frameset but I want the url from my other site to be a relative url like the url format below.

http:// myMAINsite.com/contents.php?go=/somecontents.html

As you can see, I want to hide "http://myOTHERsite.com" to avoid long urls...

Thank you in advance!

Why do you have content spread over 2 domains? Wouldn't it be easier to move it to the same domain (that would make relative URLs possible)? Is the content entirely yours - linking to another domain but wanting to try and hide it looks a bit questionable?

Please provide a link to the site so we can assess the problem fully.

In your contents.php page, just set a base url for it to work off:

PHP Code:


<?php

define('BASE_URL', 'http://myOTHERsite.com');

if(isset($_GET['go'])) {
  header('Location: ' . BASE_URL . $_GET['go']);
}

?>

Thank you sir for your help, it works!

I can now use

http:// myMAINsite.com/container.php?go=http://myOTHERsite.com/base_url.php?go=contentOFothersite.html

or

http:// myMAINsite.com/container.php?go=base_url.php?go=contentOFothersite.html

I prefer the 2nd url format since it is shorter.
-----------------------------------------
But is there any way to combine the php code of the "container.php" and the "base_url.php" ?

the code of the "container.php" below

basically I want the content to be shown inside an iframe

If there's no solution then im still happy using the url format above

By the way the content of my site was hosted in http://myotherdrive.com
I think theres no problem hiding their url since Im paying for it for a yearly basis.

Thank you again and more power and good health to you!
