Complicated Regex?

[developerdave]

Hey guys,

 

Working on a site, and Regex isn't my strongest point I'll admit.

 

So what I'm looking at doing is rewriting a url such as www.example.com/web-design.php so that it actually calls index.php (I'm working with file name variables for my queries)

 

I have no idea where to start with this could anyone give me an idea?

 

Cheers

A .htaccess file with something like

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

should work

It works in the sense its requesting index.php but my aim is to use web-design.php as bit of a get variable if you see what I mean.

 

So /web-design.php calls index.php and inside index.php I have a query that uses $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] that I use in my query.

 

Any ideas?

Something like this maybe?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)\.php$ index.php?q=$1 [L]

then in index.php use

$_GET['q']

for the query

 

You could of course just use the code I gave in the first example along with $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to get the uri, then regex that for the query

Hey, thanks Jay I went for the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] method and it worked perfectly

 

Cheers man
