htaccess help needed

[jamesmpollard]

I was wondering if someone could shed some light on where I'm going wrong here. I'm trying to make it so that if a user came to my site (in dev mode at the minute so localhost) and used the url for example http://localhost/example/aquery/string.

The url it would actually access it http://localhost/example.php?route=aquery/string. Is this possible? Here's what I have so far...

Options All -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*?)/(.*)$ $1.php?route=$2 [L]

DefaultType application/x-httpd-php

 

 

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks

James

Sorry about the wrong category. Mod could you move it for me please?

Rewrites are not for multiple user modes, it's for using the same values each time, modifying the url address versus the actual location.

 

Your best bet is to include different scripts or permission rights with code.

 

Use a session to see if that person has at least a certain permission level

User permissions 1-9 stored in database

Always use session_start(); top your scripts

 

Upon successful login when you do a query set the permission in the session

$_SESSION['permission'] = $row['permission'];

 

Now in your script can check if a permission is higher than a certain amount.

if($_SESSION['permission'] && $_SESSION['permission'] >= {
    //allow something a superadmin can do
}

You can also do some functions to make it simpler writing throughout your code.

Can expand upon this with specific roles hard coded or saved database

<?php
session_start();

//set session with login query
$_SESSION['permission'] = 9; //1-9

//permissions based on at least a certain number

    if ($_SESSION['permission'] && $_SESSION['permission'] == 9) {
