I'm trying to do clean URLs by exploding $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and then switching between the results.
However, once a user goes outside index.php, I'm assuming I need to redirect them back to index.php in order to process the URL they want to reach. How can I accomplish this?
So for instance, if the user goes to www.domain.com/home/johndoe/... I'd like index.php (domain.com/index.php) to be hit so that it can process the /home/johndoe/ via request_uri.
.htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?param=$1 [QSA,L]
$_GET['param']. Note: on certain setups RewriteBase / can cause problems. If so, just comment it out with a pound sign.You will need images, and other files what will show up in the index.php.
RewriteEngine On
Turns on the Rewite Engine
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js|pl|txt)$
If the filename is not equal JPG, JPEG... which need for index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [QSA]
"Redirect" to index.php.
In use:
With PHP $_GET the q will give you the /articles/1987/12/20/Répa's birthday/
If you split the variable in every slash with
list($type, $date_year, $date_month, $date_day, $title) = split('[/-]', $_GET['q']);
You will got exactly what you want.
You can use Apache's mod_rewrite to map URLs based on regular expressions, including sending everything to index.php,
