Redirect domain/user to user.domain ONLY IF folder 'user' doesn't exist

Posted by ThatScriptGuy, 05-07-2007, 04:22 PM
Well, I thought I knew enough about my .htaccess stuff to do this, but I can't seem to work it out. What I want to do is if a user visits domain.com/folder, we check to see if the folder exists. If so, show as normal (IE domain.com/support) If a user visits domain.com/dynamicusername (dynamicusername is not a physical folder), redirect to dynamicusername.domain.com Any ideas on this one?

its best you implement this using a php code.. redirect any page (anywhere in the home dir) to index.php first and then chek the condistion for the folder and redirect.

If I wanted/needed to do it in PHP, I would have done it. I'm looking for an .htaccess specific way to do this. (I know it's possible to do..I'm just not that savvy in the syntax yet)
