mydomain.com/site as a variable?

Recommended Posts

I've done a nice bit of code for a gallery, each gallery section is divided like this:

gallery.php?id=1
gallery.php?id=2
gallery.php?id=3

etc.

Can I make it so if you put in www.mydomain.com/site1
... it goes to gallery.php?id=2 and again for .com/site2 goes to gallery.php?id=2 etc.

Is this possible, if so how?

Add the following to your htaccess file:
[code]RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^site([0-9]+)$ gallery.php?id=$1[/code]

If you type in site1 it'll called gallery.php with the url parameter id=1
if site99 then it'll call gallery.php with the url parameter id=99
Rather than send a numerical id to gallery.php you'll want to send a string instead. So you might want to do something like this, if you want to use outside, hobbies rather than site1, site2 or sitex (x being a number):
[code]RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)$ gallery.php?page=$1[/code]
This time when you do something like this:
mysite.com/outside it'll call gallery.php with the url parameter id=outside

Also with that you dont have to keep editing the htaccess file. However you may need to chnage the code in gallery.php though now that you are sending a string rather than a number in the id variable.
htaccess folder can be placed anywhere. So you can place it in the subdirecotry if you want. However keep in mind what ever setting/configuration you have in the htaccess file will work when you go to the subfolder you put the htaccess file in.
Yeah. You just need to add a newr rewrite rule after your other one for that:
[code]RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)/{[0-9+])$ gallery.php?id=$1&sub=$2[/code]

So your htaccess file should like this:
[code]RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)$ gallery.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)/{[0-9+])$ gallery.php?id=$1&sub=$2 [L][/code]

This code has been helpful for me but I am having a problem.  I have set the code up as follows:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)$ profile.php?ID=$1

So is they type www.mysite.com/johndoe it will take them to johndoe's page on our site.  But the problem I have is if a member signs up with member name mark2000 the code will not work.  How can i set it up to work with numbers?

Seconded.  How would I change the expression to allow number as well (in any order)

I did a typo, I typed { instead of (. So use this as the last rewrite rule:
[code]RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)/([0-9+])$ gallery.php?id=$1&sub=$2 [L][/code]
[/quote]

How would you do it with underscores? Such as:

mysite.com/this_is_my_page
