    How do i convert

    http://something.domain.com to --> xxhttp://domain.com/something
    using .htaccess
    tricking the browser and person into thinking they have an actual subdomain


    I got this code though.
    
RewriteEngine On
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks Multiviews
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} forum.hostingz.org
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !forum/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ xxhttp://www.hostingz.org/forum/$1 [L]
    Code (markup):


    What it does is that it redirects xxhttp://forum.hostingz.org to xxhttp://hostingz.org (ps im not posting links so dont ban or warn me)
    But by redirecting the url changes, is there a way I can use masking or something like that so url doesn't redirect?

# Rewrite <subdomain>.example.com/<path> to example.com/<subdomain>/<path>

# Skip rewrite if no hostname or if subdomain is www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
# Extract (required) subdomain (%1), and first path element (%3), discard port number if present (%2)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}<>%{REQUEST_URI} ^([^.]+)\.hostingz\.org(:80)?<>/([^/]*) [NC]
# Rewrite only when subdomain not equal to first path element (prevents mod_rewrite recursion)
RewriteCond %1<>%3 !^(.*)<>\1$ [NC]
# Rewrite to /subdomain/path
RewriteRule ^(.*) /%1/$1 [L]
