Hey there. I just created this script. it is independent of domain (will work on any domain)

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^(www)] [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]

Steve: just remove the / before $1

This worked for me, but after the redirect I get an extra slash on the end of the URL. eg.

http://www.domain.com -> http://domain.com//
http://www.domain.com/apage.html -> http://domain.com//apage.html

That works fine – but looks odd.

Also – any hints on getting this going for https (as well as http) too?

ie. https://www.domain.com -> https://domain.com

Hi,
I’m in a “extremely incompetent hosting company” situation :) that don’t permit me to use my website without DNS.
Now I’ve put a webserver APACHE on my PC always on with static IP and I’ve forwarded the DNS * and @ to my IP to get the request without www for my website and “redraw” them with WWW.
I have some problems in doing this.
For now I’ve tried this:

$server = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; header(‘Location: http://www.‘ . $server);

but doesen’t work with every page (i.e. http://website.ext/* for every possible string in *).
Can you suggest me how to fix this problem?
I repeat, I have an apache webserver so I can also modify settings in apache if is not possible to do this only with PHP.
Thanks so much.
PS: It can be better if this fix works independent by domain name, so I can help people with same problem.
For knowing, the hosting company is TopHost.it
I remember you that my website is hosted OUTSIDE my pc! SO I need only a REDIRECT
