subdomain

I have read many forums (including this one) about passing session variables between subdomains, and I can't get this to work. Can someone explain what I am missing? Step 1 In the php.ini file: session.cookie_domain = ".mydomain.example" Verified with phpinfo() that I am using the right php.ini file Step 2 In page at www.mydomain.example set a session variable $_SESSION['a'] , verify that it appears by calling it on the next page (it does). Click link to sub.mydomain.example . Step 3 Page at sub.mydomain.example checks if session variable is set using: $a = $_SESSION['a']; if(!isset($_SESSION[

My webhost automatically forwards all requests to *.mydomain.com to the toplevel domain mydomain.com. I wanted to map any subdomain to a specific folder on my toplevel domain. i.e. sub.example.com must be mapped to example.com/someFolder ( without change in the address bar). After digging around on the net, I came up with this: RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?[^.]+\.example\.com.*$ RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/myfolder/$1 [L] This seems to work well, except for one problem: When I go to the URL sub.example.com, the URL in the address bar changes to

I need to use main domain cookies for my sub domains as with higher priority when both sub and main domain cookies exists. The problem is when I'm on sub.domain.com and there exist cookies for sub.domain.com .domain.com The PHP global $_COOKIE contains $_COOKIE['data'] == 'sub.domain.com' . I would like to check if there is also a .domain.com cookie and use it. How do I read the main cookie when I'm on a sub domain with an existing sub domain cookie? It looks like the gist of your issue is reading a cookie set in domain.com from sub.domain.com. Add session.cookie_domain = .domain.com to your

I want to write a .htaccess file for redirecting my subdomains and URL's last variable to a new location. Here is what I want to do: http(s)://abc.example.com/books I want my internal URL to be like: http://example.com/?name=abc&type=books I have already gotten the subdomain redirect to work but I am not able to do subdomain with variable in last part of URL. How can I accomplish this? This should do what you want: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+).example.com RewriteRule ^(.*)% http://example.com/?name=%1&type=$1 [R,L] The "%1" means use the first capture group from the RewriteCond above.

We need to run a few subdomains from our main site and we need to point these to external sites that deal with the admin required. I simply need to redirect a subdomain to an external URL using .htaccess and also any advise about where to put it in the .htaccess file e.g. right at the top, as i know this effects certain rewrite rules. I won't write what i think it should be as this just leads the answer down a specific route. Cheers Guys, Really appreciate it. Dan If you are redirecting a subdomain to another domain then there shouldn't be anything else in the .htaccess file other than this. #
