First though,,,, I realy appreciate this post,, it is the first one in the line of many that makes some sense. Good work... Now here is what I have on my hands.... I have a hosting account with hostgator and have access to cPanel but no access to WHM...Not to mention that I can't edit my http.conf file as I please. However, I spoke to their support and as the first response so far, they suggested that I use PHP to accomplish what I need by somehow passing the variables to cPanel.... So they have no problem with me finding the workaround for my needs. No access to WHS,, therefore,,, I can't EDIT DNS ZONE myself. I am pretty sure they would edit it for me but I would like to explain some things to myself first. I have a situation where I want to accomplish this.... If I have: www.mydomain.com/somefolder I would like it to apear as: somefolder.mydomain.com Is what you are suggesting in your post a partial soluiton to what I am after??? That being... If I edited (or if they edited) my DNS zone in WHM by simply changing the A record like this: *.mydomain.com. 14400 IN A xx.xx.xx.xx and then I use .htaccess file like this RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.com?$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.mydomain\.com?$ RewriteRule ^$ /subdomainfolder/index.html [L] (how do I read out the "subdomainfolder" from a browser window call?) Or,do I use PHP code in index.php as you sugested: I should have the solution DONE?? Goodness I know I killed you with this post but I am almost desperate... Plus I am not a savy PHP developer,,, worked the desktop stuff for too long? Thank you :) I have a question for you…

First though,,,, I realy appreciate this post,, it is the first one in the line of many that makes some sense.
Good work…

Now here is what I have on my hands….

I have a hosting account with hostgator and have access to cPanel but no access to WHM…Not to mention that I can’t edit my http.conf file as I please. However, I spoke to their support and as the first response so far, they suggested that I use PHP to accomplish what I need by somehow passing the variables to cPanel…. So they have no problem with me finding the workaround for my needs.

No access to WHS,, therefore,,, I can’t EDIT DNS ZONE myself. I am pretty sure they would edit it for me but I would like to explain some things to myself first.

I have a situation where I want to accomplish this….

If I have:

http://www.mydomain.com/somefolder

I would like it to apear as:

somefolder.mydomain.com

Is what you are suggesting in your post a partial soluiton to what I am after???

That being…

If I edited (or if they edited) my DNS zone in WHM by simply changing the A record like this:

*.mydomain.com. 14400 IN A xx.xx.xx.xx

and then I use .htaccess file like this

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.com?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.mydomain\.com?$
RewriteRule ^$ /subdomainfolder/index.html [L]

(how do I read out the “subdomainfolder” from a browser window call?)

Or,do I use PHP code in index.php as you sugested:

I should have the solution DONE??

Goodness I know I killed you with this post but I am almost desperate…
Plus I am not a savy PHP developer,,, worked the desktop stuff for too long?

Thank you :)
