Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HT         


        

Answer 1

While I can't say what the full solution would be in your case, I would start with the SERVER_NAME value from the request (PHP: $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) such as:

$username = str_replace('.domain.com', '', Request::server('SERVER_NAME'));

Make sure you additionally clean/sanitize the username, and from there you can lookup the user from the username. Something like:

$user = User::where('username', '=', $username)->first();

Somewhere in the routes file you could conditionally define a route if the SERVER_NAME isn't www.domain.com, or domain.com, though I'm sure others can come up with a much more eloquent way for this part...
