neat url

[sandrob57]

How do I turn a url like this:

 

myfancyurl.com/user/profile.php?lookup=321

 

into this:

 

myfancyurl.com/user/321

 

Hmm? This possible with PHP?

 

HALP!

Mod Rewrite; Basically in your root directory...

make a file called .htacess.

 

 

.htaccess

# Rewrite Mod

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^user/(.*)$ myfancyurl.com/user/profile.php?lookup=$1 [L]

 

ok here it is:

RewriteEngine on ; turn the engine on

RewriteBase / ; set the root directory.

RewriteRule ^user/(.*)$ myfancyurl.com/user/profile.php?lookup=$1

^ = start

(.*) = userid as a variable

$ = end of match.

then $1 = value of (.*).

And i forgot. [L] = last action

 

So you now make your links. /user/192643

I am studying mod_rewrite can you kindly tell me if you use a regular exspristion in mod_rewrite

the regulalr exsprision is the same as what eregi or preg dont get it cheers.

 

If you could write your example but with the correct regular exspression please.

Yes you use regular expressions within mod_rewrite. The regex syntax is the same as PHP's

# Rewrite Mod

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^[a-z]{0,10}\/\(\.\*\)\.(html)\$[a-z}{1,10}\.
[a-z]{0,3}\/[a-z]{1,4}\/[a-z]{0,10}\.[a-z{0,3}\?[a-z]{0,10}\=\$1 [L]

ok problem. all the images on the page dont load, and the page takes reaaaaly long to load. I think it is messing with the URL's in the images...how do I stop this?

[sandrob57]

this is my exact code (i would have edited my previous post but it wont let me)

 

# Rewrite Mod

 

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^user/(.*)$ /profile.php?lookup=$1 [L]

Well, you're at user/ so if you're trying to access images/ and it's in the folder below, then it's not going to find it ;p.
