create a subdomain

[peacecodotnet]

I would like to create a subdomain to a folder using PHP. The folder's name is "test" and I want the subdomain to be "test.mydomain.com".

How do I do this through PHP?

Peace out,
Peace Co.

You probably don't. You do that through your web server's configuration.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.



As for the question, this is a modification you will need to make at the apache/dns level.

Apache needs to know where the sub domain resides
DNS needs to know where to direct traffic.

Unless you run PHP as root on your machine and exec() stuff, which is a bad idea in itself that it doesnt warrent an explanation on how to do so.

TANSTAAFL" is a literary quote from that book. As such, it is correct.

sleipnir214's sig has been discussed at length.

the "A" stands for "ain't" and, being a literary quote, is correct by definition.
