Hi Guys.

I'm developing a PHP Directory using the PHPMyDirectory script. Currently it's using mod rewrite so the URLs are displaying in this format:

http://domain.com/plumbers, http://www.domain.com/attorneys and so on.

I intend to develop this further into cities, so each city has it's own folder. EG:

http://www.domain.com/city/plumbers, http://www.domain.com/city/attorneys, etc

This would be very easy using simple PHP modifications... however I intend to give a user unique access to each city/folder. They would be the 'owner' of that city and modify the listings accordingly.

The only way I can see to do this is to create a separate folder for each city, and then upload the PHPMyDirectory script to each directory. This wouldn't be a problem, but if I end up with 100 different cities then it will take up so much space (and I'd need 100 different MySQL databases, etc!)

Is there any other easy way i can accomplish this? Thanks!

If your using mod rewrite, I wouldn't see why you would need physical directory locations for each city and user. If it were me, I would use the following schema:

URL: http://www.domain.com/city/user/admin/

MOD REWRITE TRANSLATE: http://www.domain.com/user_admin.php?city=city&user=user
