php scripting subdomains

[durda]

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to script the following in PHP. Wilcarded DNS is not possible.

for every directory existing in httpdocs it acts like a subdomain.

so I have a directory called specialed and when a person types

http://www.specialed.mydomain.com

it takes the visitor to the index.html in the specialed directory.

with php, yes it is possible. but not with php alone. you would need to configure apache to recognise all these domains and direct them to the relevant script. alternatively have all requests listening to port 80 directed to your despatch script.

the php is easy. make this file the index.php in the directory that is your default webroot

<?php
include redirect();
function redirect(){
	$r = explode(".",$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
	$path = array();
	if (strtolower($r[0]) !== '[URL unfurl="true"]www')[/URL] {
		return $r[1].'/index.html';
	} else {
		return $r[0].'/index.html';
	}
}
?>

that's it!

but personally i would think it were much better to use the mod_rewrite module within apache.
