Change logo based on domain

I am trying to change the logo on our site based on what domain name they are using. I have tried this code but I just get the square where the image needs to be. Can someone help with this. PHP will work for this also if you have something that works.

At the time the script is being executed, the "img" tag hasn't been loaded yet. Try wrapping your script in some kind of loader.

This is the simplest way to it:

<script type="text/javascript">
   window.onload = function() {
      switch ( window.location.hostname ) {
         case "portal.domain1.com":
            var picUrl = "images/logo1.gif";
            break;
 
         case "portal.domain2.com":
            var picUrl = "images/logo2.gif";
            break;
      }
 
      document.images['logo'].src = picUrl;
   }
 
}
</script>

I like to have a "config.php" script that I include at the top of all my regular page scripts. The config handles all the common stuff - session, data base connections, define statements, local classes and functions, etc. You could initialize the correct image link in the config script with something like this...

Best regards, ~Ray

<?php 
 
// THESE STATEMENTS IN THE CONFIG SCRIPT
$image_link = '/default.png';
if (eregi('\.ABC\.', $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"])) { $image_link = '/images/abc.png'; }
if (eregi('\.DEF\.', $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"])) { $image_link = '/images/def.png'; }
if (eregi('\.XYZ\.', $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"])) { $image_link = '/images/xyz.png'; }
 
// THIS IN THE MAIN SCRIPTS
echo "<img src=\"$image_link\" />\n";

Try this PHP solution:

<?php
switch($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
   case "portal.domain1.com":
      $picUrl = "images/logo1.gif";
      break;
 
   case "portal.domain2.com":
      $picUrl = "images/logo2.gif";
      break;
}
 
echo "<img src='/images/$picURL.gif' />";
?>

Thanks everyone for there posts. I have tried each one but have not had any luck. From what I can see the _SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] request is not populating in the path.

asafadis, If I look at the path for the missing image I get http://portal.domain1.com/images/.gif

Ray, I will only get the default image.

Michael701, I get a blank screen.

Thanks

Michael701

please post php code and view source and post html code.

Michael70, it looks like I have yours working.

I will post back if I have trouble once I get it in the live site.

@redbaran28: You can use this script to see what $_SERVER and other super-global variables are present in PHP. Not all implementations are the same, but I have found $_SERVER to be accurate most of the time.

Beware of things like "safe mode" and other oddities in PHP support. It can create some strange programming anomalies, and occasionally cause scripts to misbehave.

Good luck with it, ~Ray

<?php phpinfo(); ?>
