Get URL Parameter in PHP using slash

Question

Ill be using parameter of URL like this http://localhost/biyahero/user/mark instead of this http://localhost/biyahero/user.php?name=mark

I already tried

 $test=explode( '/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
echo $test[3];

And it works fine, but when im accessing the actual page, both css and js is not working properly. what am I missing ?

just use absolute URLs for css and js.. instead of ../../path/to/cssFile.css use /path/to/cssFile.css — Mihai Matei

You must use absolute URLs to load the css and js files.

Instead of relative URLs like:

../../path/to/cssFile.css

use absolute URLs:

/path/to/cssFile.css

You need the server's PATH_INFO variable for this to work correctly. But be aware that you need to configure your server accordingly as well.

Then in PHP you can call pathinfo() like this:

<?php
$path_parts = pathinfo('/www/htdocs/inc/lib.inc.php');

echo $path_parts['dirname'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['basename'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['extension'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['filename'], "\n"; // since PHP 5.2.0
?>

Server configuration for Apache

# Set document root to be "webroot"
DocumentRoot "path/to/webroot"
<Directory "path/to/webroot">
    # use mod_rewrite for pretty URL support
    RewriteEngine on
    # If a directory or a file exists, use the request directly
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    # Otherwise forward the request to index.php
    RewriteRule . index.php

    # ...other settings...
</Directory>

and Nginx:

server {
    # ...

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        #fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        try_files $uri =404;
    }

    # ...
}

WARNING: this can pose several security issues if not configured properly, make sure that:

User upload files can never be accessed when this rule is applied
set ["cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini][2]
