t0mbr0wn Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hi there, I'm creating and coding a news / article based website. I want the url of the articles to be in the following format --> http://www.mydomain.com/category/articleTitle or http://www.mydomain.com/category/subCategory/articleTitle e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/interviews/an-interview-with-john-smith I'm guessing i would have to grab the url, remove the root domain, and put the rest into a variable to be processes in a query sent to my database to grab the corrisponding article. The thing is, i don't know how to go about even starting to write this code, or even whether that is the right way. Any help would be great! Thanks, Tom Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/192767-url-variable-without-get-request/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohdang888 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Nope. This requires a mod-rewrite on your server .htaccess file. They're not too complicated, check out these tutorials: Open your .htaccess file (google it if you don't know about it), and check out these tutorials: http://roshanbh.com.np/2008/03/url-rewriting-examples-htaccess.html http://www.easymodrewrite.com/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/192767-url-variable-without-get-request/#findComment-1015454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cags Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 It doesn't require mod_rewrite, the OP could do it the way they described. Granted mod_rewrite is the far more sensible approach.
