Use a custom 404 page. You will need to update the 404 error handling in your server (Apache, IIS, etc) to point to this new page on all 404 errors.
This page will parse the cgi.request_uri string into an array based on the "/" character. Do a check in the database for the user which matches the value in the last position in the array. (or you can do an 'or' check for each of the positions after the host_name) If the result is eq 1, then display the agent's website. If the result is gt 1, then display a 'choice' of which one the user had intended to type in. If the result is eq 0, then show your 404 error page. William -- William E.

The replicated site is really no more than each person having a separate URL that is defined by the username they put in when they sign up- everyone's site is exactly the same otherwise. For example, if I signed up for the program with a username of "jessica" my replicated website's address would be" "http://www.sample.com/jessica";. I do not want to have to create a separate folder & index page for each & every person who signs up, because that seems like it would be kind of ridiculous & waste a lot of space, so how can I (firstly) trick the server into believing there is a separate page for each person even without a folder with their username existing in my directory? Second, and I guess this question could be answered by the first, how can I get that username to be pulled from the URL for use in dynamic queries and the like. -More or less, I am just wanting to somehow convert a query string such as "http://www.sample.com?username=jessica"; into the more user-friendly "http://www.sample.com/jessica";. I think i am making this harder than it really is.. hopefully I have made this clear enough to understand, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
