Hello, I have a classified ads website and I want to set it up with "I think" wildcard sub domains and need some direction. Here is what I would like to do. http://az.classifiedsite.com for Arizona http://ca.classifiedsite.com for California and so on. Rather than place the script in each sub domain I wanted to run the classified site from only one script in a master directory. I don't want to have 50 versions of the script for maintenance reasons. One other thing. I want to have 50 databases, one for each state. I would really appreciate some ideas of how I might be able to do this. Thanks in advance Chippie
You might be able to get away with a single database. Does your current script support locations like this in the URL's already, i.e. http://www.classifiedsite.com/page.php?location=az Jay
Hi Jay, Unfortunately not, the script just offers a basic search of title and description, it is not set up as Cities or States. However we were in contact with the developer yesterday to see if we could pay to have the search module expanded so we could only show ads in a particular State. We might be getting this. If we do then it would make things much easier. Chippie
That would benefit you greatly, as then you can rewrite all subdomains to the query string, and you're done Saves you having 50 Databases. Jay
