Are you able to create subdomain though PHP? I have cPanel, I heard you can work with that to create them?

Any ideas? My plan was to give every who signed up a free subdomain since I have unlimited .

You can't do it through php, but you should be able to do it with cPanel, manually.

I was thinking of doing it automaticly like when the user puts in his/hers name.

You may end up needing to use cURL to post/get form info after logging in with your cPanel password within the PHP script - i.e.

http://myusername:mypassword@www.mys...getopostto.php

Look at the cPanel code, the forms and get parameters - then use cURL to post away to your heart's content. Subdomain creation shouldn't be too hairy.

Is that secure, couldn't people read that?

Is the server your own? If so you could just modify the DNS files with PHP although you will have to be very secure otherwise people may gain access to it.

No I don't, I have shared hosting with asmallorange.

Would their be someway I could encrypt that URL? It seems like the only way it can be done.

You could use mod rewrite :P forwarding sub.domain.com to domain.com/sub/

?

Is that even possible? The cPanel is on another host, I can't change that can I? If I can how? I'm not really good at .htaccess.

I found a script http://docs.ciscofreak.com/ap/php/pu...astsubdomains/ but it doesn't seem to work.

A background cURL post would be invisible to your visitors.

Sorry but what is cURL.. I tried googling it and got nothing.

With a US Google search, the first result is:

http://curl.haxx.se/

Actually yes you can, you need to use mod-rewrite to do this.

The only problem with mod-rewrite is it will eat up some resources off your server if you have a lot of members on your free hosting service.

It's still worth it give it a shot.

Yea mod-rewrite would work, just enable wild cards and you're set.
