I'm really not good with the ereg stuff; I wouldn't even know where to start. It's really quite simple what I need to have happen.
*.DOMAIN.COM/*.* needs to access /index.php My network handles multiple domains/subdomains; so it's important it can work with them all. Any ideas? ----Original Message Follows---- From: Miguel Cruz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "[ rswfire ]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] form posting to a fake page (another idea) Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2002 16:29:40 -0500 (CDT) Have a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html which gives countless examples of using mod_rewrite rules for this sort of thing. You can direct all requests to a single page and then let that page sort things out as it pleases. These are processed internal to the server without redirects (unless you want to use a redirect) and POST data is preserved. miguel On Wed, 17 Apr 2002, [ rswfire ] wrote: > I'm not trying to make the page redirect anywhere.
