Well, not quite virtual hosting. Basically, I want to parse the host whatever.somedomain.com and return the whatever part, whatever being a username for example.. use that username and draw whatever from the database to display..
So instead of a user having to do something like www.somedomain.com/index.php?user=bcelenza, they can alternatively just type bcelenza.somedomain.com I hope that made some sense. :( I'm horrible with words.
