You might want to look into using wild card DNS and using the client 
name for the prefix for the host name.
Wild card DNS means that you can forward http://<blah>.mysite.com to 
your site where blah can be anything.

I'm assuming each mini-site has a unique string you could use.
You could then have URLs in the form of:
http://mini-site1.mysite.com/
http://mini-site2.mysite.com/
etc.

You then always know what client mini-site you are in solely from the 
host name.
Something along the lines of:

$host_array = explode (".",$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]);
$mini_site_name = $host_array[0];

This way you always have the site name available.

You can't... the sticky bit (as a group) sets the files created within a
directory to be owned the group of the directory.  You could set a
umask, however (unless I'm missing something here).
