You would have to have a pre-defined list of sites that each user would be re-directed to so when you check which user is accessing your page they automatically get re-directed to the correct page.....HTH

lol. Thans for u reply. Storing the url list is not problem i can do that in db but the issue is how to send the url for perticuler visitor and it pops up in his browser!! That is the trick . It is very nice thing but i did not figure it out yet. I hope some one show me a good reliable solution for it.

Do what John posted.

//User accesses your page
//Get user details from db including URL that user should be redirected to

//Redirect user
header('location: $UserURL');
