php - How do I make a subdomain redirect to a dedicated folder?

Question

For example, how do I make test.domain.com redirect to Subomains/test or test2.domain.com redirect to Subdomains/test2 without changing the test.domain.com and without creating a subdomain in cPanel?

Could I make .htaccess get the subdomain and redirect it to the folder?

And when there's no folder named as the subdomain, it just redirects to domain.com

It is definitely possible to redirect via .htaccess. You can do this by changing the following code for your subdomain.

# Do not change this line.
RewriteEngine on
  
# Change subdomain.yourdomain.com to be your domain.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(subdomain.)?yourdomain.com$
  
# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your main domain.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder/
  
# Don't change this line.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  
# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your main domain.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/$1
  
# Change yourdomain.com to be your main domain again.
# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your main domain
# followed by / then the main file for your site, index.php, index.html, etc.
  
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(subdomain.)?yourdomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ subfolder/index.html [L]
