.htaccess make subdomain the main domain without moving

I have my website in a subdomain:

subdomain.mydomain.co.uk

Now, I don't want to move subdomain.mydomain.co.uk but I want to use .htaccess to set it so that when someone types: mydomain.co.uk the url still remains mydomain.co.uk but acually shows subdomain.mydomain.co.uk

How can I do this?

Try putting this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.co.uk [NC,OR]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://subdomain.mydomain.co.uk/$1 [L,R=302,NC]

You could try doing an R=301, but beware of the dangers of using a 301 redirect. We had huge problems with our website at one point using 301 redirects as written about in this article: http://getluky.net/2010/12/14/301-redirects-cannot-be-undon/
