Question for php gurus, masters and caffine sippen coders.

Php Newbie, Looking for a script to allow a user to receive his or her own page after registering to my site. example... website name = www.hello.com, user name in registration (user name field) = ralph123. after registration, user's url will be www.hello.com/ralph123

Results from script should be the same as what happens when you get a myspace page. You have your own editable page based off of a template after you sucessfully complete your registration.

please help...

 

There is free software out there like this:

barnraiser.org

 

do you want to give different url or different page (look and feel) to user?

 

i think the easiest way is a mod_rewrite.

 

Here's a starting point, chuck something like the following into .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.php

Code (markup):

What the above rules do is redirect everything that doesn't already exist as a file or directory to /index.php.

index.php just needs to have code to parse the URL string (look at $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]).
