[SOLVED] index.php?get=resource Force redirect to /resource

[nonexistentera]

Alright Im not to sure if this is more of a rewrite issue or a PHP issue. I have seen this with different rewrite addons for SMF and other projects.

 

I have

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?action=$1 [L,QSA]

Now it works when I goto /resource as it shows index.php?action=resource. But I am wondering how to force anyone that goes to index.php?action=resource to be redirected to /resource.

 

Im not sure if this can be accomplished with rewrite, but if so that would be awesome.

 

Thanks in advance,

I am not sure that I follow you exactly but couldnt you just redirect them from the index.php page if the action=resource. For example:

 

if($_GET['action'] == 'resource')
{
header('Location: http://www.example.com/resource');
}

Well the main problem that I am getting with that is a never-ending loop. index.php?action=resource is equal so it will redirect to /resource. But action is still equal to resource so it will redirect again, just continuing.

Im not sure what to do but I am going to go over some modules that have worked and see what makes them tick. XD

It should not be a never ending loop unless you are passing the action=resource back through the url. It will only show the action=resource if it is passed through the url.

Well im guessing it is still being passed since the rewrite calls the same url, just in 'pretty' terms.

bump :]

Finally got it. You can close this topic

 

I decided to use the requested URI, then this doesn't create an endless lood, as once it gets to the 'pretty' page, it stops

$text = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if (preg_match("/\baction=\b/i", $text)) {
header('Location: http://www.x00n.com/' . $_GET['action']);
} else {
}
