is there a way to have a LAMP server and create subdomain programatically via PHP?

I don’t want to install Plesk or cPanel, I know they have API’s which lets me create subdomains. But is there a way to go around them and have a bare server with just LAMP services installed.

    You can look at the mass virtual hosting module provided by Apache:

    With your PHP, when you want to create a new domain, simply create a new directory … and implement parts of this configuration (consult the link above) on how to configure your Apache. This will allow a seperate vhost per host … as opposed to the alternate answer which still requires more configuration work per unique hostname…

     # get the server name from the Host: header
 UseCanonicalName Off

 # this log format can be split per-virtual-host based on the first field
 LogFormat "%V %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b" vcommon
 CustomLog logs/access_log vcommon

 # include the server name in the filenames used to satisfy requests
 VirtualDocumentRoot /www/hosts/%0/docs
 VirtualScriptAlias /www/hosts/%0/cgi-bin
