Create Subdomains on the fly with .htaccess (PHP)

for one of my scripts, i want it so that each of my clients has their own subdomain

however, i want each subdomain to use the exact same script, and the exact same database

can this be accomplished with HTACCESS?

example: john.mysite.com would take them to my script, setting a username variable as john…so they can be identified in the database…

how can i do this?

Answer 1

You can set the ServerAlias directive in your VirtualHost configuration to *.mysite.com. You can then use mod_rewrite in the .htaccess to append the username to the URL, or use PHP to pull the subdomain off the requested URL, and do whatever you want with it.
