now days I create two files one for example.com and one for www.example.com because the wild card *.example.com doesn't work right for accessing example.com my question is how do I make example.com redirect to www.example.com using apache and not something like php. So I can have one virtual host configuration per domain.

Use:
SeverName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
in your virtual host configuration...
Then you can redirect non-www
to www
with something like:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\..+$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
