Possible Duplicate: HTTP_HOST vs. SERVER_NAME Hello, I want to get the domain name for where the script is running. How can that be done with PHP? I see that $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] as well as $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] contain this information. Will that variable always work and should I use one over the other? Thank you. Mukesh Chapagain Similar question has been asked in stackoverflow before. See here: PHP $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] vs. $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], am I understanding the man pages correctly?

Desired Behaviour I have a GoDaddy domain name and am using OpenShift for hosting. I would like the following to be true: a) user enters www.mysitename.com > user sees mysitename.com b) user enters www.mysitename.com/about.html > user sees mysitename.com/about.html c) user enters mysitename.com or mysitename.com/about.html and they also see that url. d) to summarise, the www prefix is never displayed anywhere on the site. Constraints OpenShift hosting does not have a static IP, so it is not possible to adjust the A record at GoDaddy. The format for the OpenShift app is http://appname-username

I plan on buying two domain names for the same site. Depending on which domain is used I plan on providing slightly different data on the page. Is there a way for me to detect the actual domain name that the page is loading from so that I know what to change my content to? I've looked around for stuff like this but most of it doesn't work the way I want it to. For instance when using document.write(document.location) on JSFiddle it returns http://fiddle.jshell.net/_display/ i.e. the actual path or whatever that is. How about: window.location.hostname The location object actually has a number

I am using python and would like a simple api or regex to check for a domain name's validity. By validity I am the syntactical validity and not whether the domain name actually exists on the Internet or not. Any domain name is (syntactically) valid if it's a dot-separated list of identifiers, each no longer than 63 characters, and made up of letters, digits and dashes (no underscores). So: r'[a-zA-Z\d-]{,63}(\.[a-zA-Z\d-]{,63})*' would be a start. Of course, these days some non-Ascii characters may be allowed (a very recent development) which changes the parameters a lot -- do you need to deal

From technical perspective the only issue is traffic and incoming links (one of them should redirect to another). Now I need to choose which one should be primary. Some sites have www (google, microsoft, ruby-lang) and some without www (stackoverflow, github). Seems to me the newer do not use WWW. What to choose? Please with some explanations. UPDATE: This is programming related question. Actually site is for programmers, so I expect to see what techy people think. UPDATE: Site without WWW is clear winner. Thank you guys! It doesn't matter which you choose but you should pick one and be

I'm tinkering with a domain name finder and want to favour those words which are easy to pronounce. Example: nameoic.com (bad) versus namelet.com (good). Was thinking something to do with soundex may be appropriate but it doesn't look like I can use them to produce some sort of comparative score. PHP code for the win. Here is a function which should work with the most common of words... It should give you a nice result between 1 (perfect pronounceability according to the rules) to 0. The following function far from perfect (it doesn't quite like words like Tsunami [0.857]). But it should be
