Anyone know of a way to create subdomains in PHP?

Or combine PHP with some other language to create subdomains...

Any help is appriciated.

I'd say that has something to do with how your server is set up...

Great opinion

lol.

If your trying to do what i think your trying to do? Which is user.yourdomain.com or something else that dynamic you can use: mod_rewrite function and a little bit of editing on your zones is needed.

Otherwise use the control panel you have.

PHP can't do this, it's entirely server-side

You need to use a combination of wildcard DNS and mod_rewrite to accomplish user-subdomains

Fancy repeating me Dean?

You didn't mention wildcard DNS

Guy G · #8 04-02-2005, 05:10 PM

Wildcart DNS is when anything.mydomain.com will get me to the main page right?

Is that how lets say deviantart.com did it?

Yep that's how they did it, you'll need to contact your host about that as I don't believe you can control it through your control panel
