Use PHP to Dynamically Add To .htaccess File?

What I am trying to do is automate the process of going live with websites. These websites are all dynamically created using htaccess, so here is an example:

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder%{REQUEST_URI}?%{QUERY_STRING} [QSA,L]

What I do is add a domain alias for domain.com, and then point it to my server IP and the htaccess file makes it view what is in the /folder.

It works fine but we are planning to have hundreds of websites and adding that snippet of code to the htaccess manually can get pretty annoying. Since all I am changing is domain.com and the /folder, is there a way to use PHP to dynamically 开发者_运维知识库add to the bottom of the .htaccess file if I create a form and tell it the domain and the folder, it will add it to the bottom of the htaccess file?

That would save so much time.

Thanks so much.

I really do not recommend to allow php to add ANYTHING into .htaccess, it's a big security risk.

//but here is your code
$f = fopen(".htaccess", "a+");
fwrite($f, "your content");
fclose($f);

Here you go:

function writeht($domain, $folder)
{
    $fp = fopen('.htaccess','a+');
    if($fp)
    {
        fwrite($fp,'

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?'.str_replace('.','\.',$domain).'$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /'.$folder.'%{REQUEST_URI}?%{QUERY_STRING} [QSA,L]');
        fclose($fp);
    }
}

//usage: writeht("domain.biz","yourfolder");

Works fine for me with 0644 permissions on .htaccess (as php runs under the same user as file's owner)

Sure. Its just another file as long as the process has permission to write to the file.

A pretty comfortable way is using the PEAR class File_HtAccess. But as told before you shouldn't write the file from a PHP-Script that is accessible via web.
