arandam Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 i have a php application with user registration. i have to show each user , and user related pages as a sub-folder i.e for a user 'cooluser', if he logs-in, it should show www.mysite.com/cooluser/index.php my problem is, i cannot create a directory for each user, because, in each user there are 30 pages, showing the user profile information I tried friendly urls, but, it needs to have sub -folder. the partial content comes from mysql database. is there any solution/ advise?

BlueSkyIS Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 use mod_rewrite to send all users to the same file (not directory). display content based on the user's id.

arandam Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 ok, i will try explaining again. of course, its at the best interest of getting solution . 1.I have user registration system. 2.the user profile is stored in database. 3. when the user(username=cooluser) logs-in, at www.mysite.com/login.php, he should get a url www.mysite.com/cooluser/index.php or www.mysite.com/cooluser/ 4.the user profile has 30 pages of info, all are php files 5.all these user profile pages need to be displayed under www.mysite.com/cooluser/ i.e. www.mysite.com/cooluser/gallery.php, www.mysite.com/cooluser/printeddocs.php, www.mysite.com/cooluser/focus.php etc 6.if i try url rewrite, its giving me first page www.mysite.com/cooluser and the other pages are displayed as www.mysite.com/gallery.php and so on. but, i want them to be displayed under www.mysite.com/cooluser/gallery.php and so on. I did my best to explain, if any pieces are not understood, pl. drop note. thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/219538-minisite-profile-site/#findComment-1138333 Share on other sites More sharing options...

arandam Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 main point is if the user enters the url, www.mysite/cooluser, automatically, it should get the profile data if the user is browsing around the site and clicks his profile link, which is www.mysite/user.php?id=1, it should go to www.mysite/cooluser Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/219538-minisite-profile-site/#findComment-1138361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
