The Little Guy Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/99926-hidden-redirect/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickstopman Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/99926-hidden-redirect/#findComment-510961 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Little Guy Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 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" Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/99926-hidden-redirect/#findComment-512468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
