Want to create dynamic subdomain in codeigniter? [closed]

Question

In my site i want to add an functionality for user to use their username with domain.

Like in codeigniter right now i want to give the user to use their own url to login in site and do other stuff.

For eg:

i Want www.username.mysite.com/login or www.username.mysite.com/category

so here the user can login with their credential and add the category. so i have two controller in my site with login and category.

So how to do this with the routes Or .htaccess.

Answer 1

The solution you suggested is impractical and complicated.

Using PHP, you could simply use the global variable $_GET and format the URL such as this;

www.mysite.com/category?username=johndoe

Answer 2

I would suggest having a controller such as 'user', in which you override the routing by using the 'function remapping' functionality, which is described here. In this way you could have a single 'catch all' controller / url path which you can have code inside which grabs the username and loads up relevant content.

Answer 3

U can achieve this using controller

First configure *.urdomain.com to ur IP in A record

This will redirect subdomains to same ip

Configure ur apache vhost

<VirtualHost *:80>  
    DocumentRoot "/Users/folder"  
    ServerName *.urdomai.com
    ServerAlias *.urdomai.com
    <Directory "/Users/folder">  
        Options -Indexes  
        Options FollowSymLinks  
        AllowOverride All  
    </Directory>  
</VirtualHost>  

Add this line in config:

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on"){$ssl_set = "s";} else{$ssl_set = "";}
$config['base_url'] = 'http'.$ssl_set.'://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

<?php  
class Dashboard extends Controller {  
    function Dashboard()  
    {  
        parent::Controller();  
        $subdomain_arr = explode('.', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 2); //creates the various parts  
        $subdomain_name = $subdomain_arr[0]; //assigns the first part  
        if( $subdomain_name == "user1" )
{
//add ur code
}
    }  
}
