Automatically create folders for each client

[PAZUL]

Hi there,

 

We are developing a web application (PHP/Apache/MySQL) and we would need to automatically create folders for each client. Something like:

 

http://www.domain.com/clientfolder

 

Any light on this issue will be very welcome.

What's the purpose of the creating folders for each client? Are you trying to create clean urls, such as instead of a url like:

 

domain.com/file.php?client=name

 

you want it like

 

domain.com/clientname

 

If that's the case you should look into mod_rewrite instead.

 

Apache on its own cant create folders. You'll need to use some from of server side language such as Perl or PHP etc to handle the creation of folders.

Yes its only for clean urls.

 

I'll check info about mod_rewrite then. If you have some good resources drop them in.

 

Thanks a lot. Really helpful guideline.

There are many guides available for how to use mod_rewrite. Here is one I used when I first got into mod_rewrite.
