Dynamic subdomain with .htaccess and php

Question

I have a page like

index.php?username=thurein

i need to get with subdomain like

thurein.mydomain.com

how could i get it?

Answer 1

you can redirect all subdomains to main domain for example on index.php, in the script you can parse the url and assign $_GET['username'] = $parsedSubDomain; and the script will do everything like index.php?username=thurein.

I hope it is clear.

P.S you can do the redirection using cPanel if your hosting supports it, or you need to change httpd config.

Answer 2

I have done like ..

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mydomain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?([^.]+).mydomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php?username=%2 [QSA]

But I couldn't pass other variables. something like ...

thurein.mydomain.com/photos/1

what I want is that url re write to ..

index.php?username=thurein&page=photos&id=1

Thanks

If you can help me .. I do really appropriate for it.
