bambinou Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Dear all, i would like to know something about mp3 sites,when you are an artist an would like to create a band page,some sites offer the possibility to add your band name just after their own url.example: i register my band as mixin-extra the website is called : www.theirsite.com the end URL will then become www.theirsite.com/mixin-extra i have absolutly no clue on how they do this,could someone show me a code example of how they can add the name straight after the URL. i would also like to know if this does not cause a security problem to show the direct URL of the band file. thanx for your help. ben ??? ??? ???

trq Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Assuming you have one index.php file that serves up each artists profile via a url querystring. ie index.php?id=foo then a simple mod_rewrite rule should ahieve what you want. Something like... RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ index.php?id=$1 [L] Read up on mod_rewrite in the Apache manual for more details.
