Full-Demon Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hi all, I wrote an application where I use mod_rewrite for virtual urls. (ie: I redirect admin.php?action=add to admin/add) My question is: does every server supports mod_rewrite, or is it very rare to support it? I want as many users as possible to use it, so if its very unusual to have it supported I get rid of mod_rewrite. Thanks, PS, are there statistics about stuff like this somewhere?

wildteen88 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 mod_rewrite works on the server end and not the client. So you wont have any problems with browser incompatibility issues. I would of thought most hosts would allow for mod_rewrite. You can always check with your host. Also mod_rewrite is an Apache module so it'll only work on Apache servers You can always setup a setting for your app so the user can enable or disable clean urls. SO you're better of coding for both sides. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63305-mod_rewrite-support/#findComment-315485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full-Demon Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 Ok thanks for the reply, With users I meant ppl who own a server and can run the script. But perhaps I should build the enable/disable function for virtual urls...sigh...its just a sh*t load of work lol, thats why I asked it. Thanks anyway FD Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63305-mod_rewrite-support/#findComment-315498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
