So what I want to do is create a subdomain on my website and have it load an external website into it without actually going to that website. For instance:

google.mydomain.com loads google.com but the URL bar reads google.mydomain.com.

How do I go about doing this?

I tried this but could not figure it out.

Trying:

iframe

  1. I want page to take up the whole screen for each person's computer. Can I set it to 100% instead of x amount of pixels?

  2. I want to remove scroll bars but it says not supported.

You can use either an Iframe, or file_get_contents();

Iframe:

<iframe src="http://google.com" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">

file_get_contents():

<?php
echo file_get_contents('http://google.com');
?>

With file_get_contents(), you need to beware of the website you're fetching from using relative URL's, which will break the CSS, Images, Javascript, etc.
