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. Quote Link to comment 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
