gordon.c Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hi, I am wonder how to generate website content using php to make the address look like this www.mypage.com/my_article instead of www.mypage.com/my_article/index.php Do you know what I mean? To make the address simple as the example above Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/163510-solved-dynamically-generated-sites/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
947740 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Well, as long as you have a default file in that folder, you can just point to that folder. I.E. <a href='http://www.mypage.com/my_article'>clicky</a> As long as you have a default file set in your server settings. There are also ways to do URL masking and things like that, but someone else will be able to explain that much better than I can.

JonnoTheDev Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 They will both serve the same page. Please elaborate. index.php should be the default if no filename is specified. I have a feeling you are talking about mod-rewritten urls. If so this is not php.

947740 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Just have every single script redirect to the main folder. You don't need your processing scripts to echo anything, so just have them redirect to the main folder as well.

gordon.c Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 ok... so that means every time I save up an article (on my blog) I save it using php as html file into a new folder named after my title right? So after a while I may have hundreds of folders, does it work that way?

947740 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 That WAS what I was saying. The feasibility is questionable, but you can just create a folder in which all of those reside, and then use PHP to create each individual folder.

scarhand Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 You do this using Apache's mod_rewrite Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/163510-solved-dynamically-generated-sites/#findComment-862803 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggrav8d Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 gordon - mod_rewrite will turn a request for [your site]/some_page into [your site]/index.php?show_me_page=some%20page Then index.php can query a database for a page named "some page" and display it's contents.
