If you have ever used a redirecting service, you know that the redirect, 
regardless of the typed in URL, always goes to the hardcoded URL, unless you 
yourself handle the redirecting. Especially when the webredirect is done in a 
frame.

 E.G.

 http://www.myserver.com/testpage.html

 using a redirect service goes to

 http://realserver.myserver.com/

 instead of

 http://realserver.myserver.com/testpage.html

 This program correctly implements this behavior by adding a few lines of code 
to your php webpage.

The project is in use at www.sfnfcentral.com

You can see it in action by typing in

www.sfnfcentral.com/stats.php in your browse and watch the redirect go to the 
correct site and the jump out of the frame w/ the correct URI.

type in www.sfnfcentral.com and you get a different page altogether.

www.sfnfcentral.com is using a web redirect from register.com
