There are 2 real solution ( not the redirecting thing)


Using 'Domain Masking' ( google it)
You want otherdomain.com to show the sub1.maindomain.com/folder


You can do the following .

• create a sub2.maindomain.com
And configure it with the server so that it displays the sub1/folder

• Create a CNAME Record on otherdomain.com that points to sub2.maindomain.com

The absolute simplest thing to do is create a CNAME record in your DNS that points myfrienddomain.com to sub1.mydomain.com and make sure there is no A record for myfrienddomain.com. You do not need a redirect. Let DNS do the work.

An easy way to do it in PHP is to create index.php on the site that needs to be redirected:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Redirect",true);
header("Location: example.com/folder ,true);
?><html><head><title>Redirect</title></head><body><a href="http://example.com">Click here to continue</a></body></html>


Just replace example.com with the domain you want the redirection to go to.

In your case, make index.php in the document root of the domain:

myfrienddomain.com


Then make your index.php contain the following:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Redirect",true);
header("Location: sub1.mydomain.com ,true);
?><html><head><title>Redirect</title></head><body><a href="http://sub1.mydomain.com">Click here to continue</a></body></html>


sub1 is a subdomain here.
