hi everyone, here i am with another question for you guys.

I have a website, which is a community of users, i want the usersto have their own user domain by example:

pinkgaydragon.mydomain.com

what is the best way and how can i manage this? with mod_rewrite or what?

Do you have control over your DNS? You need to wildcard everything to once place to start doing that.

Here is a rule that should work which I found on google. I've never done this myself so I can't give you a definitive answer.

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourwebsite.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+)\.yourwebsite.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /path_to_your_site/httpdocs/work_out.php?url=%1
