I am not all that clear on what you are asking.

Please show your example code, with a comment before each line describing what it should do.

what i want to say here is

but in address bar it will show the old domain

This is not possible as you state it. Browsers must show the correct URL in their address bar for security reasons.

Also, doing such a 'trick' will result in duplicate-content problems with search engines, possibly damaging both sites' rankings.

Furthermore, if this is intended to fool visitors in any way, and the search engines discover it, you may reasonably expect a lifetime ban on all of your sites (Remember that Google is now a domain registrar, and has access to *all* domain registration information -- including so-called 'private' registration data).

The only way to do this if the two domains are separately hosted is to reverse-proxy requests from the old domain to the new domain. In this case, forwarded traffic to the new domain will be logged as coming from the old domain's server, and it will be impossible to tell where that traffic actually came from without looking at the server logs on the old domain's server -- Logs and 'stats reports' on the new domain's server will be fairly useless, unless you can change the old domain's server configuration to send the X_Forwarded_For header, and change the new domain's server configuration to log X_Forwarded_For instead of logging Remote_Host or Remote_Addr when the Remote_Addr and Via headers indicate traffic proxied through the old domain's server. This set-up requires access to the server configuration files on both servers, and won't be possible on shared hosting plans.
