Header Location Redirect + Mod Rewrite

[shanejeffery86]

Hey all.

 

My previous post in the wrong forum explains in more detail what I am trying to achieve: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,301173.msg1425323.html#msg1425323

 

I am redirecting in my PHP file like this:

 

header("Location: wow-armory-profile/" . $profileID);

exit;

 

I need to make it so that when this location is hit, the armory.php file that I have knows that it needs to be executed.

 

So, I need to figure out how to check at the server level if this URL is being hit and then execute my armory.php file WITHOUT rewriting the URL to the armory.php.

 

Any ideas on how to do this?

 

Thanks!

You mean...

 

RewriteRule ^wow-armory-profile/$ /armory.php

 

...?

I have a PHP header redirect happening in my index.php file.

 

The code reads:

 

header("Location: armory.php?profileID=" . $profileID);

 

Upon that redirect, I need that URL to be rewritten to:

 

wow-armory-profile/$profileID

 

I cannot just simply put that rewrite in the header redirect as the redirect would not know where it is going.

 

Any idea on how to achieve this?

 

I am currently using this Rewrite Rule: RewriteRule ^wow-armory-profile/(.*)$ /armory.php?profileID=$1 [L], but no luck with it.

If you want the URL to be wow-armory-profile/blah, then you need to change the header redirect to wow-armory-profile/blah.

Hey Cags.

 

So, what I am doing is this:

 

On the header redirect, I have: header("Location: wow-armory-profile/" . $profileID);

 

In the htaccess, I have this: RewriteRule ^wow-armory-profile/(.*)$ /armory.php?profileID=$1 [L]

 

Still not working, but I have a feeling I am getting closer.

Hey Cags.  I do need the URL to be that, but I also need the PHP file to fire (armory.php) as that is where all of the data is being pulled from.  I think my Rewrite Rule is close, but it is still not working.

 

So, what I am doing is this:

 

On the header redirect, I have: header("Location: wow-armory-profile/" . $profileID);

 

In the htaccess, I have this: RewriteRule ^wow-armory-profile/(.*)$ /armory.php?profileID=$1 [L]

Well, my God...I figured it out...

 

My rewrite rule was being stupid.  My final rule:

 

RewriteRule ^wow-armory-profile-([^/]*)\.html$ /armory.php?profileID=$1 [L]

 

Thanks again for the help
