PHP - Subdomain Custom Dns Via Php

I did a project for a client over a year ago and never ran into this problem on their shared server, but now I'm having this problem on my own... and I'm not sure why.   I want to give free members their own subdomain. I want the php files to scan the subdomain to determine which pages to display. So like my index.php would scan the subdomain and show the corresponding user's home page so that if you go to someguy.thisdomain.com, it would really just scan index.php at thisdomain.com and act accordingly.   On the other project, no extra folders were created. I know that subdomains can be created in cpanel and then extra folders would be added and whatnot, but I was able to effectively use subdomains for users without htaccess or any sort of cpanel functions.   The main problem is when I test subdomains. I have php code that just echos "Subdomain is blah" and it works when I go to www.mydomain.com and also just mydomain.com, but when I go to test.mydomain.com, it gives an error as if the domain doesn't exist.

my site is laid out as follows:

beta.domain.com/index.html   <-- this page contains an ajax form
scripts.domain.com/js/formoperations.js   <--ajax javascript
scripts.domain.com/php/msgsend.php  <--ajax php script

The PHP script which is posted below is to echo back "Thank you" once the form is processed & emailed. If the files are in the directories stated above the PHP script does not echo back. It still completes emailing the form data successfully but does the echo does not make it back to beta.domain/index.html.

HOWEVER...if I move my PHP file to beta.domain.com/msgsend.php it works flawlessly. Why can't my script echo across subdomains?

Thanks!

Hi,   I have an address on my main server http://www.website.com/directory and would like to redirect it to a subdomain http://subdomain.website.com/directory   The subdomain is not pointing to the same server as the main domain.   How would I set up a redirect in htaccess?   Thanks!  

Suppose, i have created a sub.domain.com and i want to include a file 'config.php' from root directory i.e domain.com . While i tried include("../config.php"); i wasn't successful. Anyone can help me please??
I need the solution very urgently, so please help me soon.

Hi all,

Im trying to move files that im uploading from my main domain to a sub domain. I think I can achieve this using passthru?

Im having issues with this, can any one point me in the right direction please?

Thanks, Phil

hey all,
I've been struggling with this for the last few days and can't figure it out...
I'm trying to build a fairly complex uploading system.

the thing i'm getting stuck with is trying to copy/move the uploaded files from the domain name to a subdomain

Ex:
$path1 = "/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/new/test/test.jpg";
$path2 = "/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/subdomains/img/httpdocs/test/test.jpg";

Dedicated server running RHEL with Plesk

The problem seems to be an open_basedir restriction.

My question is... are there any work-arounds open_basedir and if not what are the implications of disabling it???

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time

My service allows users to generate subdomains based off their username(testguy.mydomain.com). I've created a wildcard subdomain for this, so the dynamic subdomains work wonderfully.   I've added a parked domain where my domain is supposed to mirror the given subdomain. However, when I go to the domain.com, it redirects to the subdomain, changing the URL in the address bar. Any ideas?   Or if there a better way to mirror a subdomain while showing the original domain in the address bar?

I was wondering of it was possible to have a file say style.css in the root folder of a site like www.example.com/style.css and then get a subdomain called www.sub.example.com which points to www.example.com/subarea to get that file without the use of absolute paths?

Sorry if its not clear.

I am in the process of learning MySQL and PHP.

I have a real-world application that I would like to develop for someone using MySQL and PHP, provided I can end up with the necessary user interface for the application.

The user will be launching a web browser to start the application.

The application will be developed for two purposes:
to record employee information (name, contact info, category of worker such as: cook, dishwasher, server, host)
to record the hours worked by each worker for each day and then generate a report that can be sent to the accountant by email or fax

Since the interaction will take place in a web browser, what are the possibilities as far as having customization for the text fields (controllable size of text field, larger than the form element), having start and end times with the colon symbol inserted automatically, to name a few.

When a text field is inserted via HTML, the rectangle is rather small.  Can the default sizes of form elements be enlarged?

hi
i am new in here and php coding.

i got the following code frm my friend for making a name, address, passout of student searching database.

<?php


// TAKE THE INFORMATION FROM FORM.



$search = $_GET['search'];



// IF THERE IS NOT A KEYWORD GIVE A MISTAKE.



if (!$search)



echo "You didn't enter a keyword."."$text Back to Search Again <a href=searchform.php>Search</a>";

else



{



echo "<td>You searched for: <strong>$search </strong></td>";



mysql_connect('sql servername','sql server username','password');



mysql_select_db('database name');



$id=@$_GET['id'];



//QUERY IS THE CODE WHICH WILL MAKE THE SEARCH IN YOUR DATABASE.



//I WROTE AN EXPLANATION ABOUT IT AFTER THE CODE.



$query="SELECT * FROM searchform WHERE MATCH(Name, Address, Pass) AGAINST('%$search%' IN BOOLEAN MODE)";



$result1 = MySQL_query($query);



if(!$result1) {



echo MySQL_error()."<br>$query<br>";



}



if(MySQL_num_rows($result1) > 0) {



echo "<table width='480' align='center' border='1' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>";



while($result2 = MySQL_fetch_array($result1)) {



//A short description from category.



$description = $result2['category'];



$searchPosition = strpos($description, $search);



$shortDescription = substr($description, $searchPosition, 150);



// I added a link to results which will send the user to your display page.



echo "<tr><td>Name</td><td>Address</td><td>Pass</td></tr>";



echo "<tr><td>{$result2['Name']}</td><td>{$result2['Address']}</td><td>{$result2['Pass']}</td></tr>";



}



echo "</table>";



}else {



echo "No Results were found.<br>"."$text Back to Search Again <a href=searchform.php>Search</a>";



}echo "<br>";



}



?>

every thing is working fine as i wanted.

my database structure is below
|NAME||ADDRESS||YEAR|
|ABC|abc|1980|
|XYZ||xyz||1980|

but there is a small problem of showing the output result.

when i search with 1980
it show 4 column
1st column is showing NAME, ADDRESS, YEAR
2nd column is showing |ABC|abc|1980|
again
3rd column is showing NAME, ADDRESS, YEAR
4th column is showing |XYZ||xyz||1980|

how i solve to not showing every column the NAME, ADDRESS, YEAR (3rd column)

Is there a way to use PHP to edit html without having to store it in my DB?

For example I would like someone to be able to edit a paragraph on the page, its wrapped in a <div class="editable"> now is there a way to have PHP detect that div and have an textarea to edit it directly without having to store anything in a DB?

I hope that makes sense if it doesn't let me know!

Thanks

I'm gonna be perfectly honest, I have no idea what's wrong with this code, I'm not even entirely sure what it all means, I just need to make it work. -.-

I get this error:  Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in Z:\www\cms\includes\functions.php on line 25

From this code:
Code: [Select]
<html>
<body>
<?php

include('includes/dbvars.php');

function displayVideos($dbc){

mysqli_connect('DB_HOST', 'DB_USER', 'DB_PW', 'DB_NAME');

//Query
$query = "SELECT * FROM videos";

//Execute
$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query) or die ("Error querying database.");

While ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo '<h2>' . $row['Title'] . '</h2>';
echo '<b>Director</b>:' . $row['Director'] . '<br />';
echo '<b>Description</b>:<br />' . $row['Description'];
echo '<hr>';
}

mysqli_close($dbc)
}

?>
</body>
</html>


Any help very much appreciated

Hi all

I wonder if people can help me out here.

It's a "bespoke" vs "framework" question, so not sure its belongs in here, but I didn't want to post it in the ZEND group, as it may have many more "pro ZEND fans" who read it, and I wanted a general thought.

This is all based on the fact that I have a big project coming up and I want to know if I should be sticking with a custom job, or if something like ZEND is the way to go.

Basically I have been developing PHP for about 2 years now and I have always thought a custom site written from scratch was the best way to go, not only does it allow you to have the minimal code needed to run the site, therefore reducing load, space and bandwidth, but it also allows you to know exactly how the system works, I guess the downside is that you have to spend more time doing the coding.

But I have a few friends who use frameworks, ZEND has been coming up more and more, it's not really my ideal system to use as I prefer coding from scratch (not sure why),  but they swear by it, and always tell me its great, its winning awards and none of them code from scratch, one of them even quoted that it "will become the standard for development" - is this true?

Apart from being massively bulky and containing tons of files with scripts and functions that you might never ever use, what do people see as a downside to ZEND, If any?

Is it best to code from scratch, and if so, why? Or does using something like ZEND much better?

I guess if you always use ZEND, then you never really enhance your skill as a coder and never really learn anything new, plus I always think it's kind of cheeky using a pre-built system.

Is there a good argument that would say using ZEND is not really a good idea? Or is the general feeling toward ZEND being a good thing?

Surely if people know ZEND, they know how to play the security of the site to there advantage and therefore can break the security of other ZEND systems, or at least cause some hacks to a site.

Any thoughts would be great

Thanks everyone

When a user clicks on a topic they are transfered to its post, which is retrieved by the name of the topic as given by the url value. up to now i have just used urlencode. But its trickier when a user adds slashes and dots into the mix. for example the title of the post is testing/testing. The url will go to www.asimpleforum.co.uk/t/testing/testing. How would i get around this since url encode doesnt do the job? I could replace slashes and dots with their own unique symbol but that produces the problem when someone uses one of those symbols that i use to replace in their topic title. I know one site in particular that replaces all dots and slashes with a hyphen (-), but how would you know what to turn the hyphen into when you query the database for that topic? Anyone have any ideas?
