how do you make it so when a u ser registers, they are giving a subdomain
http://username.domain.com
and how would you make it so if someone goes to that subdomain, it would grab the username frmo the url, like usually I would use a $_GET command to grab
?name=username
$_GET['name']
any ideas, thanks!

To get the username from the URL:
Code: Select all
$url = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$url_bits = explode('.', $url);
$username = $url_bits[0];
Not sure on how adding subdomains on-the-fly works but I'm sure Google may help
Google "Add subdomains dynamically"
