That should read

if (fnmatch("*.mydomain.com", $domain)) {


Note that php.net says:

"For now this function is not available on Windows or other non-POSIX
compliant systems."

so if you're on such a system, you may need a more general solution:

if (preg_match('/\.mydomain.com$/', $domain)) {

which will match any string ending ".mydomain.com".
