Question

Is there an easy way to create subdomains on codeigniter like api.site.com?

Answer 1

You need to create the subdomain in your DNS or else setup a wildcard for any subdomain to work first.

Once you've got that running I guess it's a case of switching the base_url in your config file.

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == "api.blah.com") {
    $config['base_url'] = "http://api.blah.com/";
}
else {
    $config['base_url'] = "http://www.blah.com/";   
}
