Domain question

[.:Mammoth261:.]

Instantly by the title you are going to assume that this is in the wrong place. It was a toss up for me between programming and development. Yes its a domain question, but the developer side of it.

Basically, I have this script which I would like to enable users to use their own domains which would be linked to a subdomain on my site and I would like it automatically so it runs off one script. I understand that I have to identify which site etc. but my question is getting the domain to work in the first place?

For instance, have you ever used invisionfree? They use a CNAME record which will then point to the subdomain, but then how do i make my script identify which domain the site is used for? I presume it would need to use .htaccess and something to identify the site. I've tried to search and resulted in nothing.


Appologies if I have not explained myself clearly, if still unclear about what i need then i will gladly try and rephrase. Any input here is gladly appreciated.

you want a domain like abc.com to be redirected to your abc.yourdomain.com ?

I have this script which hosts multiple sites. And I just want to run one version of the script rather than uploading it for each site. I have used index.php?site=XXX which identifies the current site. this is also defined as a subdomain on my hosting XXX.myhosting.tld. So each subdomain points to index.php?site=XXX so the site is identified. What I'm saying is how would i be able to use domains to do similar to what subdomains are currently doing for me?

I'm assuming they are on the same host, so you can access files.

This is more of a stab in the dark as I don't 100% understand your problem.

<?php
$domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
/* Use some Sql query here to find out the individual code for this domain */
$_GET['site'] = $mysql_returned_xxx_combo;
include("/home/jamie/main/index.php");
?>

P.S. Do I know you?
