newhip Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Ok I've seen urls like www.domain.com/title-of-page-blah-blah and i understand how to make the url with the dash. My question is how to I set that on the index page? I know how to do that after a set a $GLOBALS['q']['view'] and get the page like www.domain.com/view/title-of-page-blah-blah but not without the "view" or wtv i would set it to. Please help.

Irate Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Check the mod_rewrite.so module for Apache and their .htaccess and httpd.conf files for URL rewriting. Also, using global is more likely a sign of doing it wrong than right.

Ch0cu3r Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Your question doesn't make sense. Your php app is most probably using mod_rewrite. For example the url domain.com/view/title-of-page-blah-blah is actually being mapped to the following url domain.com/page.php?q=view&title=title-of-page-blah-blah You'd access view and title using $_GET['q] and $_GET['title] variable. Not $GLOBALS. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/282505-globals/#findComment-1451571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM1 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Forget you know anything about $GLOBALS or the 'global' keyword. Using them is the path to madness, then death.

vinny42 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 What I do is rewrite every URL that is not an images/folder etc to index.php and use $_SERVER to look at the URL and decide how to route the request. I've seen may people get into very deep doodoo trying to create a new rewrite for every different URL structure they have, especially when the original request also contained a parameter that you use in the rewrites.

newhip Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 I don't know much about "$_SERVER" but after some quick research it seams like that is exactly what i'm trying to do. Thanks a lot guys! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/282505-globals/#findComment-1451642 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got everything working and I'm able to read off the the url with $_SERVER but now it's looking for a file on my server. How do i make it not look for a file and just know that it's actually just data that i've injected into the url?

What is looking for a file? How do i make it not look for a file and just know that it's actually just data that i've injected into the url? You need to apply logic for your script for to do that.
