method for addresses masking

[Piotr]

Please help me, I can't solve this problem:

I have domain:
http://www.main_domain.com/index.php...=2&parametr2=3
(and other site files like
http://www.main_domain.com/page1.php...erparameter=32
http://www.main_domain.com/page2.php...erparameter=11 etc.)
At this address there is an template site for many users. Personal site
is identified by userid.

I want to do short subdomain for all users like this:
www.hisowndomain.com?parametr1=2&parametr2=3
but this short address should call main domain (with masking long
address):
http://www.main_domain.com/index.php...=2&parametr2=3

www.main_domain.com/index.php?userid=23 --> www.hisowndomain.com

I tried to do it by .htaccess file (mod_rewrite) with no results, maybe it
is possible to do it in application server side?

you should use the header() function, i think...
here is an example: http://ar2.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

I don't know what are you specifically looking for, but you can try
something like this (without using a database):

# get userid from main_domain.com/index.php?useri d=xx
$id = $_GET['userid']
switch ($id) {
case '23':
header('Locatio n: http://www.hisowndomai n.com/');
break;
.... }

greetings

Yes, but I want to have one php code and sql base placed at
http://www.main_domain.com/index.php...=2&parametr2=3
only identified and personalized by userid. It works fine but that address
is too long for users. I don't know what can I mask this long address and
hide it under short subdomain. I want to redirect www.hisowndomain.com to
www.main_domain.com/index.php?userid=23 but with address masking.

In your solution, I should update this code to all subdomains when it will
be changed :(

Apache rewrite is probably the best solution here. What you need is a
rewrite map that connects the domain names to the user ids, something like:

www.hisowndomain.com 23
www.herowndomain.com 24
....
www.joeblow.com 288

And then a rewrite rule that goes something like this:

RewriteMap domain-map txt: /var/domainmap
RewriteRule .*
%{PATH_INFO}?us erid=${domain-map:%{HTTP_HOST }}&%{QUERY_STRI NG}

Obviously, all the domain names have to map to the same IP address.

Thanks, it maybe work, but I can't check it because I have only access to
..htaccess file :(
