27 Jul 10 Sub-Domain Forwarding

How does Gossimer, LLC Sub-Domain Forwarding work?

Using the Sub-domain forwarding service, you can forward any visitor from http://subdomain.your-domain-name.com/ to http://destination-domain-name.com/subdomain/. The Sub-Domain Forwarding service can also be used in conjunction with URL Masking and Path Forwarding services.

For example, if Sub-Domain Forwarding is enabled, then:

http://payments.your-domain-name.com will get successfully forwarded to http://destination-domain-name.com/payments/

http://credit-card.payments.your-domain-name.com will get forwarded to http://destination-domain-name.com/payments/credit-card/

Enabling / Disabling Sub Domain Forwarding

Click on the Domain name in the search results to get to the Order Details view.

06 Jul 10 PHP-based Form Mail (Feedback) Script

Using a PHP script you may accept feedback from your website visitors and get the results emailed to you. You can use the sample script provided by Gossimer and tweak it a bit to suit your requirements.

You would need to change the Email address in the field $from to any Email address on the domain name on which you are incorporating this script. For example, if your Domain Name is abc.com, then you would define the From Email address as some-name@abc.com. This Email address need not be existing on the Mail Server of abc.com, however, the domain name in the $from field has to be yours. You may use an Email address such as Do_Not_reply@abc.com.

The value in the $mailto field needs to be changed to the Email address, where email containing the data submitted through the form needs to be delivered.

Once the visitor provides feedback, he/she can then be re-directed to another page on your website. In order to achieve this, you need to mention the path to the HTML file in the $file field in the script. Alternately, you can display a message to the visitor thanking him/her for the feedback. Such messages can be displayed in a new page like thanks.htm. Such a page can also contain other information as deemed necessary.

Sample Script

<?
$mailto=”xyz@abc.com”;
$file=”thanks.htm”;
$pcount=0;
$gcount=0;
$subject = “Mail from Enquiry Form”;
$from=”some-name@abc.com“;
while (list($key,$val)=each($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
$pstr = $pstr.”$key : $val n “;
++$pcount;
}
while (list($key,$val)=each($HTTP_GET_VARS))
{
$gstr = $gstr.”$key : $val n “;
++$gcount;
}
if ($pcount > $gcount)
{
$message_body=$pstr;
mail($mailto,$subject,$message_body,”From:”.$from);
include(“$file”);
}
else
{
$message_body=$gstr;
mail($mailto,$subject,$message_body,”From:”.$from);
include(“$file”);
}
?>
