Mod_rewrite, something.site.com
Hey
You know how sites like Newgrounds work, with
http://USERNAME.newgrounds.com or
http://VARIABLE.site.com and then it takes that word, how's it done?
Presumably it's done with $_GET['variable']; but how would i tell the script that the GET is that string?
Is it with mod_rewrite? A link would be helpful, or even a code snippet explaining, ty.
User goes to
http://LOLHI.website.com then page then echo's "LOLHI", because LOLHI is the $variable.

1. you'll need wildcard dns setup, unless you plan on setting up each sub domain yourself.
2. to get the domain name, you'll need $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']
3. to get the first part of the domain, you can convert it to an array:
PHP Code:
$domainparts = explode ( '.' , $_SERVER [ 'SERVER_NAME' ]);
$domainparts [ 0 ];

Sounds like your doing a free subdomain hosting kind of thing. I made several of these scripts, e107deluxe.com is one of my creations....its fairly easy to do:
Open your httpd.conf file and where you have the record for your domain all the way down the bottom of the file, find thid:
Quote: ServerAlias yourdomain.com
and change it to this:
Quote: ServerAlias *.yourdomain.com
Save and exit, then restart apache.
Now use the code posted by -NC- to finish it off!
