It's possible ... you may already know, though, that everything to the left of ".com" or ".in", etc., is part of the global DNS system, so your code would have to manipulate a (set of) DNS server(s); and you might have to wait some time for propagation throughout the Internet.

Not necessarily (I definitely wouldn't want to do it that way! :p); you could instead just setup a DNS wildcard, e.g.:

*.example.com.   3600 IN  CNAME www.example.com.

so that all requests that don't match an existing A record (e.g. existing subdomain such as 'www', etc.) will be handled as if you had requested 'www.example.com' instead.

Your browser, however, will still send the "my_nonexistant_subdomain.example.com" Host header to your PHP scripts (or even mod_rewrite), meaning you can use that value to perform whatever redirection/etc. you'd like.

That syntax is an example of what you would put in a DNS zone file.

In other words, you'd have to be able to modify the DNS information for your domain name (something you should be able to do). Different hosts/registrars have different ways of doing this, so you'd have to look around and/or ask them how to do so.
