I want to create a subdomain using PHP. Is this possible? Any open source codes you can give?

Thanks! 🙂

Sorry I dont think you can create a sub domain using PHP. On most servers the records that hold domain and DNS information can only be edited from root. Which means a CGI or Perl script would have to be used. If you find a way using PHP please let me know.

Oh… so far, I’ve managed to find a php script that would create virtual subdomains, but needs DNS wildcards… Anyways, thanx irogfox.
