.htaccess - htaccess Rewrite Rule for subdomain to page

Question

Currently I have a page residing at:

http://www.example.com/site/page

In my htaccess I have the current rule:

RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ retailer.php?linklabel=$1 [QSA]

What would the rule look like to have the URL for that page become it's own subdomain:

http://page.example.com

Thanks for any help!!

So far I have tried the following rule which hasn't worked:

RewriteRule http://(.*)$.example.com retailer.php?linklabel=$1 [QSA]

Maybe I need to do something in cpanel first regarding a wildcard subdomain? I'm not too sure...

Try this one :

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*).example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* retailer.php?linklabel=%1 [L,QSA]
