Giving users subdomains

[eluser]Nial[/eluser]
I'd like to offer users who sign up to a website I'm developing a custom subdomain: username.domain.com. I'd like this address to point to basically return the contents of domain.com/view/username, so I figured htaccess was the way to go! Via cpanel I've configured *.domain.com to point to domain.com, and us the following .htaccess:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.phps)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Is there a simple way to redirect these subdomain requests to convert user.domain.com -> domain.com/view/user via .htaccess while maintaining the above rule?
