[PHP] Best Practice to Create Dynamic URL's- With Username
Hi All, I am creating a social networking website. I want that every user should have there own profile page with a static URL like- http://www.abcnetwork/user/username Where username will be dynamic userid or something else. This is something very similar to www.youtube.com/user/kumargauravmail (this is my profile page). So what should be the best practice to create such DYNAMIC URL's OR what kind of methodology youtube is following? Thanks in Advance. Gaurav Kumar OSWebstudio.com

Thus, client see this http://www.abcnetwork/user/username which translates into this (or something similar) to PHP http://www.abcnetwork/userProfile.php?user=username Of course, you'll need to handle the 404 just in case ;) Regards, Tommy -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

be aware if you do not have full control of your server setup, this type of parameter handling is not possible on most shared hostings. however url encoded it is never a problem. so be clear where yout page will be hosted. ralph_def...@yahoo.de Gaurav Kumar kumargauravjuke...@gmail.com wrote in message news:87292e170909210054k79858b96yf09eeca5111ec...@mail.gmail.com...

Re: [PHP] Best Practice to Create Dynamic URL's- With Username
Hi, ... As has been suggested you could use mod_rewrite, but you don't have to if your needs are simple (or maybe you don't have it). You could also use the ForceType directive. Eg on my website the URLs are like this: http://www.phpguru.org/article/20-years-of-php Where article is actually a PHP file without the .php extension. It's forced to run as a PHP file using this: Files article ForceType application/x-httpd-php /Files And you will find the URL in $_SERVER somewhere. -- Richard Heyes HTML5 graphing: RGraph - www.rgraph.net (updated 5th September) Lots of PHP and Javascript code - http://www.phpguru.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

'cause I've tried every option I can think of and am not winng. Thanks a ton Haig Hi Haig, Yes, this is possible; there is nothing special about creating such a file. Simply construct the filename as a string in normal PHP fashion, and then use that filename with file_put_contents(), fopen(), or similar, to create the file. It will be hard to help you further without an example (as short as you can make it) of what you are trying to do, and an explanation of how it's failing to do what you want it to do. Please post a short example of the code you have which is failing, and a longer explanation of exactly what you want to achieve, and perhaps we can explain how to make it work or suggest a better solution to your problem. Ralph did get one thing right, in that it's generally better to explain what you're trying to do instead of explaining how you're trying to do it. There are many ways to do almost any task, so it is possible that there is another way to do what you want which is simpler and less error-prone.

Re: [PHP] Best Practice to Create Dynamic URL's- With Username
A Big Thanks to all of you. Question I was Asked by Andrea- mod_reqrite or .htaccess is the answer, but I wonder why you choose /user/username rather than just /username a la twitter. I will be using many other aspects of my users something like /projects/username/; /gallery/username/. OK Ashley, Tommy and Ralph- 100% correct that mod_rewrite will be used. I am a bit sticky that my URL will be- http://www.abcnetwork/user/*Ashley*http://www.abcnetwork/user/username. So will I get $_GET[user] with value as *Ashley* or *Tommy* in my script? http://www.abcnetwork/userProfile.php?user=usernameSo what exactly will be the .htaccess rule for above?

Question I was Asked by Andrea- mod_reqrite or .htaccess is the answer, but I wonder why you choose /user/username rather than just /username a la twitter. I will be using many other aspects of my users something like /projects/username/; /gallery/username/. well, it does not matter if this service is user based. /username/ #as user home page /username/projects/ #as user projects /username/gallery/ #as user gallery /username/etc ... it's just a silly point but from user home page you isntantly know if user exists and you instantly know subsections In your way you assume that there is a gallery for that user while he could have created only projects, without galleries. So one search failed, while to go in the user page I need to digit /user/ before, not a big deal but we are in tinyurl and bit.ly era Google Code put simply a /p/ as prefix plus the project name plus subsection /p/myprojname/ /p/myprojname/wiki since you are starting now, maybe you could consider this semantic alternative, if it suits your requirements.

[PHP] Re: Touch screen programming help
well, I would say a touch screen usualy is just another 'pointing device' like the mouse is. it depends on the operating system and the driver setup for it. then u simply can use any browser and just adjust the pointing receiving elements like buttons and links a bit bigger and with images rather then with just text. However this is not realy a PHP related issue. more like a designers issue. I think its realy simple ralph_def...@yahoo.de Manish - dz - PHP man...@dotzoo.net wrote in message news:013c01ca3ab7$a9524dd0$5e01a...@manish...

[PHP] Usage of strlen(tuf8_decode()) and /u regex modifier
Hello,
As indicated below, the strlen(tuf8_decode()) and the /u regex
modifier do not work as per my understanding.
1) What is my misunderstanding?
?php
$the_string = '#1052;#1072;#1088;#1080;#1085;#1072;
#1054;#1088;#1083;#1086;#1074;#1072;';
echo pauthor (85 bytes):$the_string, . strlen($the_string) . ','
. strlen( utf8_decode( $the_string ) ) . ',' .
strlen( utf8_decode( utf8_encode($the_string) ) ) . ',' . /p;
// all the number echoed are 85, I expected at least one to be 13
$max_length = 20;
$is_short = preg_match( '/^.{1,$max_length}$/u', uft8_encode(
$the_string ) ) );
// expect the above to return 1
$max_length = 10;
$is_short = preg_match( '/^.{1,$max_length}$/u', uft8_encode(
$the_string ) ) );
// expect the above to return 0
?
More generally, given a string $the_string:
2) how to determine what encoding is being used?
3) how to determine the number of visible characters?
4) if it has more than N visible characters, how to
truncate it after N visible characters?
Thanks!

you should update the keyboard as well, it fires CTRL+V twice (subject, and I
am joking ..)
When I run the following script:
?php

correct accordingly with your local time zone, 'cause I am pretty much sure
that if you do
?php
print *gmdate*('d M Y, H:i');
?
the time will be exactly the same reported in the log file.
You would have known this if you were developing with E_STRICT since date is a
warning, even in the phpinfo, if you do not set it correctly.
It's a good idea in any case, for obvious portability reasons across websites,
countries, and hosts, to use gmdate for time operations, otherwise if I use
date I could have stuff from the future in another host, and stuff from past in
another one.

That part works perfect, but if there is unclosed tag or something like that when I try to load that page I get an error because now that code is not valid. So my question would be, is there some way that I could build some script in php that would run thought that page and check if it's valid or not, and if it's not than try to repair it.
