i know how to do it like this:

 

http://www.yourwebsite.com/username

 

if you want it like that....

[ohdang888]

ya they're called sub-domians....

 

but its a whoile lot more easier just to do something like thise..

 

 

index.php?profile_id= blah

How to do that? is it by creating folder for each user?

 

@ohdang888: is there any way generate subdomain automaticaly?

[Northern Flame]

no you would not need to create a sub-directory for each

user, it can be done with .htaccess

 

ex:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ users.php?user=$1 [L]

 

this will display as:

http://www.website.com/username

 

and send "username" to

users.php as an $_GET variable,

so you can call it with

echo $_GET['user'] in users.php

Thanks about the info. I'll learn about RewriteEngine

Btw, how about url on subdomain level like thedudeoforkut.multiply.com ?

That would work the same way, but then you need to make sure that all subdomains are handled by the same vhost.

Here a little fast example you can also do.......

<?php

$i=array("peeter"=>"00005","paul"=>"00006","harry"=>"00007","john"=>"00008");

foreach($i as $username => $id){

echo"<a href='".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?profile=$username'>$username</a><br><br>";

if($_GET['profile']=="$username"){

switch($username){

case $username:

	echo "your name is $username with id $id <br><br>";

	brake;
}
}
}
?>

case $username:

	echo "your name is $username with id $id <br><br>";

	brake;
}
}
}
?>

 

it is to do like "www.xyz.com/username=sleith" right?

i already know that one. i need to directly "sleith.xyz.com"

Thanks for the info
