[RESOLVED] Not really PHP, but sort of

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 24.2008

This is from no-www.org:

[code]RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L][/code]

How can it be made to require the www, instead of stripping it out, without hard-coding the domain name every time like I’ve been doing with this:

[code]RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L][/code]

TIA

This should be relatively simple, just not for me ?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@chrisranjanaNov 25.2008 — How about

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L][/QUOTE]
Thanks for trying, but that would just result in a loop.

Do you know how rewrites work?

@chrisranjanaNov 25.2008 — A valid point..

How about you make the ^www match optional ?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@ayveghauthorNov 26.2008 — ? Not sure how I would do that, but I don't think I want to make it optional.

I'm basically trying to figure out a "domain-insensitive" force-www redirect.

@ayveghauthorJan 07.2009 — Solved with this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Figured it out myself. ?
