Jan 23.2008

hey guys, i need some help. :S

op what i want to do is have a site. lets say that my domain is shannighan.com

i want information and referance a database but instead of using something like:

[url]www.shannighan.com/information.php?num=1234[/url]

i want it to look like

1234.shannighan,com/information.php

i have seen this done, so i know its possible. can somebody please explain to me how this works?

EDIT: heres an example: [url]http://freakout1.gametrailers.com/gamepad/[/url] (i just clicked on a random one)

also i think i put this in the wrong forum, sorry.

@ryanbutlerJan 26.2008 — Unless I'm totally misunderstanding what you're trying to do, a sub-domain is what you need. Other than that, your brief responses have me confused.
