Replace URL

[web2000]

Hello,

 

I have an advanced system which has folders with up to 8 folders deep :  http://192.168.0.1/webserver/dddf/dfdsfdf/sdfsdfsd/fdsfds/fsdfsdfdf/dfdsf/dfdf/sdfdf/

 

and it is very untidy for the user.

 

How can i replace the url not actually go to that url but just replace it with http://192.168.0.1/webserver/

 

Thank you

One way would be to have a frame on something like sliced.php, and then have everything load within that frame. Make it 100% width and height and invisible or something.

You need to set up an alias for that folder on the webserver...which if the folders are dynamic this will not work....

 

If they are dynamic you could use the scandir() function to get a directory listing... then you would put the folder that the user wants to goto into a variable and when they go there you just send them there via header() function....

 

 

example:

directory: test

sub-dir: stest1

sub-dir: stest2

 

$dir = scandir('/usr/local/www/apache22/data/test');
$i_total=count($dir);

for ($i=0; $i<$i_total; $i++) {

echo "<a href=\"http://192.169.0.1/$dir[$i]/\">" . $dir[$i] . "</a><br>";

}

 

will give you an output of:

 

stest1

stest2

 

as links and then they will take you to that directory...

 

im not sure if this is what your looking for but you can also use the header() function to do something similar by populating the directory into a variable then use the header() function to send them to that folder.

or you can use a .htaccess file to rewrite the url
