OsCom problem with Aliased Domain

[wizardsandwars]

Then there's the other not so small matter of the Data Protection Act .....

 

Absolutly correct.

 

In the United States, any company that has over 50 employees is required by law to have SSL on any page that collects personal information about a customer, including name, date of birth, and address.

 

It's called the Sarbanes Oxley Act.

 

Now I realize that most companies here are small, and don't employ 50 customers, but this should still be the standard for how all companies on the web do business.

Or should I be using this for the cookies?

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', ''.$HTTP_HOST);

 

Let me know please, anyone, HELP :blush:

Why not test it out, and let us all know the answer? Instead of being reactive, be proactive ;)

 

I know that cookie domain needs just the hostname:

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.yoursite.co.uk');

 

So, to be sure of getting this, I would use something like parse url [host] in conjunction with

$HTTP_HOST

...

 

Maybe that would work nicely?

In the UK it doesn't matter how many employees you have, if you do business on the internet and collect personal data you are obliged under law to do it in a secure environment. Even if it wasn't a requirement, no one is going to do business with a site that doesn't use an https connection for the Sign In and Checkout parts of the site.

 

This whole thing is an exercise in futility. My view - follow Burt's advice and use two accounts, one database. If you want to keep on going down this pointless road ...fine - but I'm out of here.

Well I've used the define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', ''.$HTTP_HOST);

And everything seems to be running fine, did a test order, everything works.... (So FAR)

Will post any problems i come accross if any. As this is the easiest way of having multiple domains that all run the same code and are cached and listed by google, (my UK domain pages were cached this morning :) ) Much much easier than running two seperate sites.

 

So not futile at all Vger
