"Hidden" Redirect


Recommended Posts

Why doesn't this:

http://gmm.phpsnips.com/random

 

do a "Hidden" redirect to this:

http://gmm.phpsnips.com/functions.php?function=random

 

My .htaccess code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ functions.php?function=$1		[nc]

 

I want it to work like the php manual, where it takes you to rand if you type: http://php.net/rand it takes you to the rand function.

 

if you follow my link, you will  see what error I get: http://gmm.phpsnips.com/random

The reason it doesn't work is because if you have an index you can't overlap it

if you made it so the main page was function.php

RewriteRule ^/  function.php?function=home

so if make a function that made it so it includes the homepage this should work

I don't think you quite understand what I am trying to accomplish here.

 

The real URL:

http://gmm.phpsnips.com/functions.php?function=choose

 

The masked URL:

http://gmm.phpsnips.com/choose

 

both should go to the EXACT SAME FILE "functions.php"

 

 

Look at BillyBobs solution above, this should work, I do the same thing with our content management system, and I have this line:

 

RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ content.php?id=$1 [L]
