Subdomains with .htaccess

[DR_GIGGULS]

Hello.

For this thing you must have wildcard dns and mod_rewrite enabled.

.htaccess:

DirectoryIndex new_forum.php index.php index.html

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ handler.php?_url=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

rewriteBase /
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+)\.domain\.com [NC]
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com
rewriteRule ^$ /%1

Obviously you have to replace "domain" with your domain.
You save this as .htaccess and replace the original NBS one.

Changelog:
27.09.2007:
- now opening your domain will open the new_forum.php page
- if new_forum.php does not exist, the indexes will be the default ones

Done.
Tested and works fine.

Having wild card DNS is a must, wild card DNS allows subdomains to be accessed without having been specifically setup.

Yes, if your domain is www.nbsdesignz.com, it will look like that: www\.nbsdesignz\.com

Contact your hosting provider, they may enable it for you. It is not enabled by default on any hosting. And, yes, you HAVE TO have it enabled to use this feature.

Thier is such an easy solution to having subdomains with any script with multiple tables + wildcard dns.

Just use php in the config file, get the subdomain in the url, process it in php to get all the tables which use the subdomain prefix.
