I don’t know how to do that. But you may try a different approach:

1) Add the subdomain *. This ensures that http://whateveryoutype.example.com will show the content of http://www.example.com

2) Modify the index.php file so that the first thing it does is checking the HTTP_HOST. If it is anything else than http://www.example.com than loads the folder1/index.php file.

I have One issue, please help me. My issue is I have url http://subdomain.mydomain.com and want to redirect them http://mydomin.com/folder1/index.php?user=subdomain. but I dont want to change URL in addressbar so in addressbar the url should be http://subdomain.mydomain.com. What i have to do? My .htaccess code is
=================================
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain.com [NC]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+)\.mydomain.com [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/folder1/index.php?user=%1 [L]
=================================
It redirect correctly, But Unfortunitly, it affect addressbar, so it’s useless for me. Please help me. What I have to do? Thanks in advance.

OK, I’ve done some testing:
check http://test.ylipsis.com/somedirectory/anything.html?varname=varvalue
It redirects exactly as you wanted (passing the subdomain to the directory)

And here is the code in my htaccess (the one in public_html aka root directory):
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.ylipsis\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.ylipsis.com/$1 [L,R=301]
* there is a dollar sign on the last line – c o m / $ 1. This seems to get parsed by wordpress…

Try this out:
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.example\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/blog/$1 [L,R=301]
I haven’t tested it yet so let me know how it goes.
The above code should redirect blog.example.com/anything.html to http://www.example.com/blog/anything.html

I am having problem redirecting blog.domain.com to http://www.domain.com/blog/

I used the following code…
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/$1 [L,R=301]

but it redirects to http://www.domain.com without the directory /blog/

Also tried other “htaccess redirect subdomain folder” examples around the web but with the same effect… none seems to be working… any ideea how to make this work?
