	// Hide current slide
          object = document.getElementById('slide' + current); //e.g. slide1
          object.style.display = 'none';
              
          // Show next slide, if last, loop back to front
          if (current == last) { current = 1; }
          else { current++ }
          object = document.getElementById('slide' + current);

[.php extension remove]

i've done mod_rewrite on all my links now but i don't want the user to be able to type in http://www.example.com/about.php ,when i have  this link already http://www.example.com/about.  I want any link with a .php to be redirected to the index page.  What rewriterule would accomplish this?

[help with mod_rewrite]

[help with mod_rewrite]

thanks i changed it and it works.. but now it my CSS isn't working? it just has the text on a white page.  How do i fix this?

[help with mod_rewrite]

i've done this

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ profile.php?user=$1 [L]

 

to make

www.example.com/profile.php?user=testing

into

www.example.com/testing

 

What i'd like to do is change..

 

www.example.com/profile.php?user=testing

into

www.example.com/user=testing

 

What is the RewriteRule to accomplish this?  Also if i used $_GET['user'] with the second clean url would it still work?

 

[clean url and forms]

Your clean URL should rewrite all the variables into the messy URL so you won't have to do anything with the $_GET. As for as the PHP script is concerened, it dosn't matter if it was a clean URL or messy.

 

Forms are a different matter though, the action needs to be the working clean URL (not just 'submit'). If you're using GET forms then it will always look ugly. If you have several fields to submit try using POST where you can have a clean URL as the action, and all of the post data will be hidden from the URL. Depends what sort of data you're submitting in the form.

 

Thanks for help.

 

So your saying example.php?name=test and example/name/test.. if i use $_GET['name']; on the clean url it will be "test"?..

 

and i should change my GET forms to POST(hidden data), for the sake of clean urls?

 

[clean url and forms]

I've recently used mod_rewrite and changed my .htaccess allowing clean urls.  Is there a tutorial that tells me how to use $_GET with a clean url?

 

for instance how do i get the name with the clean url($_GET method)?

 

messy url

example.com/play.php?id=203&name=test

 

clean url

example.com/videos/play/203/test

 

 

also when using forms is it as simple as changing

<form action='submit.php' action='get'>

to

<form action='submit' action='get'>

or do i have to do something else?

 

 

[textarea onclick help]

[javascript and CSS change width help]

newfield = 0;

function add() {

if(newfield!=6) {

[Where clause like and apostrophe]

SELECT * FROM test WHERE name='q test\'1' ORDER BY `id` DESC LIMIT 10

[checkbox onclick help]

i want if this checkbox is clicked to change the value in the textarea to "Input image url".. the below isn't working though

function image(number) {

<form action='submit.php' method='POST' name='outcomes'>

</form>

[Where clause like and apostrophe]

i tried but i get the internal 500 server error

 

i put this in my .htaccess file

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off

 

 

[Where clause like and apostrophe]

i'm not getting any results for the query.  I'm sure it has something to do with the apostrophe and back slashes

$search = "q test'yes";
$search = mysql_real_escape_string($search);
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM block WHERE name LIKE '%$search%' ORDER BY `id` DESC",$this->connect);

 

When i echo it out i get this

SELECT * FROM block WHERE name LIKE '%q test\\\'yes%' ORDER BY `id` DESC
