URL redirection used as root of thesis project

[donovanh]

Hi,

I posted a little while back about setting up the redirect scripts on my site being developed as a project for my course. The project is now in testing, and i'd be happy for people to take a look and let me know what they think.

The only part left that was the myred scripts is part of the index file that looks for the url and decides where to send the browser. I rewrote the rest to fit the aims of the site. The site aims to incorporate a network marketing business model into a fictional online service. Users would register, pay for a service, and get their own web address to use in promoting their own 'version' of the site.

For testing purposes, it costs nothing to sign up and try it out. I have set up a system of "credits" based on how many people your url recruits, and how many people they then go on to recruit on their own sites. It sounds complex but its easier to show it in action than explain.

Have a look:

http://www.designni.com

Your site, once registered, would be like yourname.designni.com and basically present a customised version of the site depending on what name you put in when registering.

I'd be very pleased to receive any feedback from the site, and feel free to poke around and find any holes in the design (i'm sure its not completely foolproof yet ;P )

Thanks for the great code, it gave me a good start on the project,

Donovan
