adding username to Url

[sharma]

Hi,

I am developing a multilevel marketing system. This system will provide
users their own website(virtual). No real disk space. just play by
database and account status (paid or not paid).

I would like to have the url of a registered user like this

www.mysite.com/username/

I can create up to this point. when i tried to access this url. its the
requested url is not found..

Any ideas to make it work ?

Thanks in advance,
Sharma

If you have a directory for each username, and in that directory have an
index.php or index.htm, then it should work. I have a site I am developing
and put all my management functions in a directory called manage which is
password protected. I access it as www.mysite.com/manage. All php and htm
calls are in that directory (unless I specify ../ in the code).

I assume that you will have control over what is uploaded by first checking
it before moving it into place. If so, then you can check for ../
occurances and deny the upload. Otherwise, you are opening up your world.

You can do this with mod-rewrite

Apache rewrite is the most direct approach. Creating a symlink for each
user to the same directory would work too.
