Walking the Edge of Reality

A look behind the curtain to my world...

Help!

I actually need some PHP assistance.

Although I can sorta understand it by reading it, I have never personally written a single thing on my own in PHP. I don't think Ikonboard and vBulletin hacks count as that's more of a copy/paste job.

Before I go on... this is NOT for any ARG I'm working on; this is for the Brain Clouds framework. So don't do this expecting answers.

Here's what I need: I have a Linux server with a dedicated IP address. I point multiple domains to it, but I want to take certain actions on the root default page (index.php) depending on what domain is pointed to it.

My server is "www.brainclouds.info", but I'm pointing an address "media.brainclouds.net" to it. Because of apparent limitations in Godaddy (I have an open ticket waiting for an answer) I can't virtualize a subdirectory on a separate server, so I have to point the domain there via a direct, hand entered MX record. I also have no control over Apache virtualization apparently, and don't really feel like paying $100 a month for a dedicated server to do that. That means that the ONLY place the address could respond is the root.

Now if someone types in either "http://media.brainclouds.net/" or "http://www.brainclouds.info/", they see my forums. I don't want that. So for each domain I want to do either a redirect to a more appropriate place (http://www.brainclouds.net/) or show them specific content for the domain they ar requesting.

So anyone out there know the proper way to do this? Please email me at info@dlimedia.com as this forum doesn't notify me when comments are posted (hence the slight delay as comments get approved; I tend to forget).
