mod_rewrite

[Florx]

Hello there!

I wonder if you could help me with mod_rewrite.

I want to have any subdomain count how many people have gone to it.

However I don't have any of the subdomains created. People can just go to random names of them and then it counts. For example:

NAME.gotowned.com or something like that where the NAME bit is changable.

Is this possible? I think it is as I have seen it on other sites before.

Thanks,
Jake

you could have yoursite.com/name this is done the following,
if you currently have it so your usign $_get[name] eg from url like
yoursite.com/index.php?name=bob then you would use the following,

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/$ index.php?name=$1 [L]

which then would result as,
yoursite.com/bob

Not what you wanted but its the closest i could do.

oh.. sorry.

I don't think you could do it with htaccess, simply because of the fact you do not specify the URL otherwise it wouldn't work. So if (.*) is before the url it'll look for a folder called (.*)

(.*) = wildcard btw

Yeh I do know how to do that Thanks anyway

Im looking for custom subdomains.

e.g. Cheese.gotowned.com

Where the variable cheese is sent to gotowned.php

Can you do that with anything?
