You can't create a subdomain using only PHP application.

First you need to configure apache virtual host to accept requests for multiple domains.

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com ServerAlias example.com *.example.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain
</VirtualHost>


With wildcard subdomain *.example.com, main domain will receive all requests for any sub-domain, which can be handled by either using .htaccess or with PHP application.

Now, use htaccess code to rewrite URL i.e. load subdirectory on subdomain URL,

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =subdir.example.com
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subdir/%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteRule ^(.+) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subdir/ [L]
</IfModule>


** need to write more generic htaccess code.
