Create subdomains as profile address of each user in php?

Hi, I really want to know that how can I automatically create subdomains as profile's url for each individual user?

for example: rohin.domain.com instead of domain.com/rohin

You will have to create a wildcard subdomain which points to your main domain.

*.yourdomain.com

Then you can get the username when you explode $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].

<?php
$username = explode('.', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
echo $username[0];

Also you can perform additional checks to know whether you should fetch user's information or not. For example, when you explode $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] and count the elements.
