sub-domains

[KapTinKiRk]

Is there a way, through the use of Perl, PHP, .htaccess or whatever, to create sub-domains that are not simply redirects.

So for example, something.mysite.com would have URL's such as something.mysite.com/page/index.html instead of having something.mysite.com redirect to mysite.com/something and then having the URL as mysite.com/something/page/index.html

Hopefully I explained that alright without confusion

i have my sub domains set up like that, like http://forum.wrestlinggame.net is pointing to the forum directory in my public_html directory so it can be done, but all my stuff is done through someone else so i don't know how to do it.

Any way I can find that someone?

Anyone else have any idea how to do this?

I assume you have your own domain name. It is possible to do this using zonedit.com. They offer free dns services where you control the dns settings, subdomains, mail forwarders etc. Works great I use it myself

I think the ZoneEdith route will only give you redirects of the subdomains. The best you can do with them it to set up an A record and then have subdomains redirect into that same domain (uncloaked). Then you will be looking at the original domain with its subfiles.

Example: Direct mydomain.com through an A record to an IP address. Then have your subdomain, something.mydomain.com, redirect to mydomain.com/something.html

Not exactly what you are looking for. I gave up and went to below10host.com and bought one of their cheep plans that has subdirectories.

ok, since I can't get what I want. Does anyone know where I can find a redirection script for sub-domains?

tell me your e-mail address, i will send you one, but first make sure that your host has wildcards enabled.

You can email me using the forum forms (i know, no attachments) or send me a message on AIM.

And yes my host has wildcards.
