URL masking/redirects

[catnip_uk]

Hi

Is this possible?

I want to create a single website but when a specific URL is entered it shows the site branded to that URL (white label?) ie: if someone enters www.mysite.com/billy it shows the site with billy's details and if www.mysite.com/ann is entered then it shows ann's details....without long an exhaustive URL's but both use the same site with details in a database...I know how to do this with usual PHP URL strings but not short strings.....thing is we have 95 potential sites but don't want 95 actual websites to host and serve.

Make sense? :queasy:

Many thanks in advance

Well, if it's a finite list and will never grow/shrink you can create a map and use mod_rewrite with their URL Mapping to map specific keywords to a specific php page. Something like having the index.php change the css/template based upon the username.

So the url like: mysite.com/billy could be rewritten to mysite.com/?user=billy which the index.php would know what to do with.
