Dynamic Sub Domain

[Danny159]

Hey,

I am working on a project that requires dynamic sub domains...

for example user1.mydomain.com and user2.mydomain.com etc...

But I am having some trouble... I have setup the wildcard A record and all of that is working fine. The problem is my application uses ajax and because the domain is on a subdomain the ajax are not working as it thinks its cross domain... so...

Is there any way I can just treat the subdomain as a variable... so somehow I can pull the user1 part of the domainname and still treat the code like it is top level domain... so the ajax will still think the domain is mydomain.com without the user1.mydomain.com

I hope this makes sence...

Thanks
Dan

Here's a fix. But only to IE8:

Thanks for your reply. That took me nicely to this... http://usejquery.com/blog/jquery-cross-domain-ajax-guide I think the first options would work?

Hi,

I get the following in consol.

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://domain.co.uk/app/process.php?&username=user1&clientname=Dan&clientemail=&amount=10.00. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://user1.domain.co.uk' is therefore not allowed access. 

Thanks

Have you set up the server for CORS? e.g. for php

if($_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN'] == "http://subdom.example.com")
{
    header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://subdom.example.com');
    //do whatever
}

That worked, sorted thanks for your help!
