Subdomains control for url in slim

1

Hi there,

I would like to create multiple sudbomain eg:
foo.mydomain.com
bar.mydomain.com
…
these subdomains will be dynamic and I would like to have different controllers based on the subdomain and load from a single twig file

I am still new to the slim framework so apollogies for the noob question

Domain and subdomain routing

There is not any built-in support for parsing subdomains. However, here’s how I would do this. I would configure the default Nginx virtual host to answer for these subdomains. The virtual host will direct all PHP requests to the appropriate Slim bootstrap file. You can write a simple Slim middleware that parses the request subdomain so you can take the necessary actions in your route callbacks. Does this make sense?

Slim with sub domain

Maybe switching to https://route.thephpleague.com/4.x/routes/ for routing could help too? It’s inspired by fastroute, so could be close enough and slim4 decoupled the router completely afaik. Anyone tried this?

$app->get('/myendpoint', function (Request $request, Response $response) {

  // Get full host (e.g., sub.example.com)
  // Get the Referer header
  $referer = $request->getHeaderLine('Referer');

  $refererHost = null;
  $subdomain = null;

  if (!empty($referer)) {
    $parts = parse_url($referer);
    if (isset($parts['host'])) {
      $refererHost = $parts['host']; // e.g. store.mycompany.com

      // Split by dots
      $hostParts = explode('.', $refererHost);

      if (count($hostParts) > 2) {
        // assumes domain like sub.example.com (3+ parts)
        $subdomain = $hostParts[0];
      } else {
        $subdomain = null; // no subdomain (just example.com)
      }
    }
  }
  error_log($subdomain);
