A joint initiative of the Indian Blood Bank Society, of which cine actor Mohanlal is the brand ambassador. We have developed the portal with specific technical features such as free e-call system, used for the first time in a blood bank.

Former health minister Adoor Prakash, (Current state minister for Revenue & Coir) inaugurated the facility at a function at IMA house in Cochin. Actor Mohanlal and magician R.K. Malayath were present.

The minister said now the public could get rare blood groups through the initiative as donors (16 blood groups) had been classified district and area wise so as to locate the nearest one.

Following is the code snippet to log all cookies of the domain in the firebug console.

function get_cookies_array() {

    var cookies = { };

    if (document.cookie && document.cookie != '') {
        var split = document.cookie.split(';');
        for (var i = 0; i < split.length; i++) {
            var name_value = split[i].split("=");
            name_value[0] = name_value[0].replace(/^ /, '');
            cookies[decodeURIComponent(name_value[0])] = decodeURIComponent(name_value[1]);
        }
    }

    return cookies;

}
var cookies = get_cookies_array();
for(var name in cookies) {
 console.log( name + " : " + cookies[name] + "<br />" );
}

You just need to copy the entire code and paste in the console and run it. Or else, you can also just copy paste and use your own way or alert on page load. Its just that simple! .

Another quick way is to use iframes. Just put following code in your index.html of new domain.

 <iframe src="http://originalsite.com" height="100%" width="100"></iframe> 

But if visitor clicks a link on the page, it wont update the url on the address bar and user fill feel fishy

Here is the simple script which makes the masking work. It has two portions a php file and one htaccess file.

What php file does is, it opens the original website and grab the content to bump it back to the browser. In the process, it replaces any text with source site url to your new url. So that links on the site and all resource are called from your new domain itself. Smart! isn’t it?

# index.php
<?php
// enter your site names here. Just the core url no http or tail slashes
$wc_source = "originalsite.com";
$wc_mirror = "yourawesomedomain.com";
/*
Look hard under this line. But dont try to change unless you are above 18 and know how to read awasthakiyoguyiomonstia
*/
$sql = $_GET['sql'];
$URL = "http://".$wc_source."/".$sql;
$fullPath = $URL;
$base = '<base href="'.$URL.'">';
$host = preg_replace('/^[^\/]+\/\//','',$URL);
$tarray = explode('/',$host);
$host = array_shift($tarray);
$URI = '/' . implode('/',$tarray);
$content = '';
$fp = @fsockopen($host,80,$errno,$errstr,30);
if(!$fp) { echo "Unable to open socked: $errstr ($errno)\n"; exit; }
fwrite($fp,"GET $URI HTTP/1.0\r\n");
fwrite($fp,"Host: $host\r\n");
if( isset($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]) ) { fwrite($fp,'User-Agent: '.$_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]."\r\n"); }
fwrite($fp,"Connection: Close\r\n");
fwrite($fp,"\r\n");
while (!feof($fp)) { $content .= fgets($fp, 128); }
fclose($fp);
if( strpos($content,"\r\n") > 0 ) { $eolchar = "\r\n"; }
else { $eolchar = "\n"; }
$eolpos = strpos($content,"$eolchar$eolchar");
$content = substr($content,($eolpos + strlen("$eolchar$eolchar")));
$content = str_replace($wc_source,$wc_mirror,$content);
// replaces paths with / in the begining without full url. not required unless you are in subfolder
$content = str_replace('href="/','href="http://'.$wc_mirror.'/',$content);
$content = str_replace('src="/','src="http://'.$wc_mirror.'/',$content);

// $fsize = filesize($fullPath);
    $path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath);
    $ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]); 

    // Determine Content Type
    switch ($ext) {
      case "pdf": $ctype="application/pdf"; break;
      case "exe": $ctype="application/octet-stream"; break;
      case "zip": $ctype="application/zip"; break;
      case "doc": $ctype="application/msword"; break;
      case "xls": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-excel"; break;
      case "ppt": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"; break;
      case "gif": $ctype="image/gif"; break;
      case "png": $ctype="image/png"; break;
      case "jpeg": $ctype="image/jpg"; break;
      case "jpg": $ctype="image/jpg"; break;
      case "js": $ctype="text/javascript"; break;
      case "css": $ctype="text/css"; break;
    } 

    header("Pragma: public"); // required
    header("Expires: 0");
    header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
    header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers
    header("Content-Type: $ctype");
    header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
//    header("Content-Length: ".$fsize); 

if( preg_match('/<head\s*>/i',$content) ) { echo( preg_replace('/<head\s*>/i','<head>'.$base,$content,1) ); }
else { echo ( str_replace($wc_source,$wc_mirror,preg_replace('/<([a-z])([^>]+)>/i',"<\\1\\2>".$base,$content,1) ));
}
?>

Now its true that you don’t have any other resource / files on the new domain server. Here comes the htaccess to play its role. htaccess sends all requests to index.php with full path so that index.php can return content for corresponding files from Original website.

#htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
    #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
    #request to index.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?sql=$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Implementation is very straight forward. You just need to put in the source and mirror urls in the php file. Everything works out of the box.

Once the files are set with proper urls, when you go to newdomain.com , it will show you content from originalsite.com and all links will word as of newdomain.com/link.html

www.livesite.com/?css=http://localhost/myproject/style.css – This will load style.css from your local server.

How to do that ?

Its ptety basic self explanatory php code as below.

<?php
function putStyle() {
  if(isset($_GET["css"])) {
  print(' <link rel="stylesheet" href="'.$_GET["css"].'" /> '); // loads value of parameter css
  }
  else {
  print ('<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" />'); // change to your default css
  }
  };
putStyle();
?>

Now, instead of using link tag to add style file, you just need to paste the above code or include the file which has above code. See the screenshot to know what I mean.

So this is how we do work on the live sites with real time site updates. Tell us how you do that in comments.
