Hello,

I try to map this long URL:

http://www.mydomain.com/modules/mylinks/visit.php?cid=1&lid=1

to a subdomain like:

http://link1.mydomain.com/

So when I type http://link1.mydomain.com, it will either show the content of http://www.mydomain.com/modules/mylinks/visit.php?cid=1&lid=1 (the best) or redirect to http://www.mydomain.com/modules/mylinks/visit.php?cid=1&lid=1

Is there any way to do it?

Thank you in advance.

are you using cpanel? if yes, you can use redirection function in cpanel...

if not, you can make index.html in link1.yourdomain.com and use http redirect.

You can always create the subdomain and frame the page?
Probably redirect works best
header('Location: http://www.mydomain.com/modules/mylinks/visit.php?cid=1&lid=1');
?>

Thank you both for the quick response!!

I have tried two approaches:
1. redirect as you suggested. I don't use cpanel, so I put the location in the index.php page. It works fine except it showed redirected URL after redirection.

2. I used iframe to put the long URL page into index.html of the subdomain page. This way, it only show the subdomain address, but then when I click something else in the page, since it is inside a frame, even it showed another page it still show the subdomain address :)

Compare them I think redirect is better.

But is any other options ?
