therealwesfoster Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'm having trouble getting this to work for me. I always get a page load error when trying out different .htaccess methods I've found online. None work :/ Here's what I'm trying to do (the underlined words mean they correlate) : Turn http://wes.sitename.com/cars/online/list?id=15 Into ./list.php?name=wes&id=15 So see, I'm wanting to take the subdomain and use it as the first GET var, and anything after /list to be added onto the list.php?name=wes..... A good example of what I'm looking for is used on backpage .com. You'll see the subdomain as well as the additional GET vars. I hope I make sense Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/134555-subdomains-and-get-variables/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I would probably set up a wildcard virtualhost in Apache (google it), and then I would make the index file handle requests based on the URI. For example, you could parse the blah out of blah.sitename.com/something and use it in combination with something to handle the request. Oh, this will probably make you laugh a little: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6,687,746.PN.&OS=PN/6,687,746&RS=PN/6,687,746 Don't be scared by it though, since I'm fairly sure everyone in the world has ignored it. (Yeah, I just suggested infringing a patent.) Edit: Actually, I think it was revoked in 04 now that I reread that page.

therealwesfoster Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Ok, I've setup the wildcard subdomains. Working good. Now here's my problem, the page goes on a never-ending loop when I try to load "CITY.SITE.COM". Here's my sample .htaccess Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine On # HAS SUBDOMAIN? RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((??!www))[\w-]+)\.SITE\.net [NC] RewriteRule ^((??!online))[\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/mod/([\w-]+) ./$3.php?subdomain=%1&cat=$1&slug=$2 [NC,L,QSA] RewriteRule ^((??!online))[\w-]+)/mod/([\w-]+) ./$2.php?subdomain=%1&cat=$1 [NC,L,QSA] RewriteRule ^online/mod/([\w-]+) ./$1.php?metro=%1 [NC,L,QSA] Any help? Any more info i need to post? Wes Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/134555-subdomains-and-get-variables/#findComment-703731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hrmm stupid question. ?! What does that mean? I kno what ?: means (and ? of course), but never seen ?! before. I don't see anything that should cause a never ending loop x.x. Does the error log say what line the loop is?

therealwesfoster Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 ?! is a negative lookahead And there is no error message, firefox stops the process because it's a "never-ending loop". The first part of this top has been solved thanks to the [QSA] flag. I'm still having troubles with the subdomain part though. I'll continue to play with it while I wait for replies. I'll let you know if I figure it out. So until then, help away Wes Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/134555-subdomains-and-get-variables/#findComment-704449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
