Re: [PHP] URL rewriting...anybody done this?

[Ryan A]

Hey Justin,

Ok,
 tried this with differient tests and directives for the past 2 days,
on 3 differient servers,
on 5 differient domains.
I updated the directives more times than I care to remember and restarted
apache so many times
I dont think it knows if its coming or goingbut you sir...are a f*g
genius coz the sob after
hours of frustration spanning 2 days.is working!

I just copied everything you wrote exactly and pasted themthen hit the
url on 3 differient servers...
and all 3 are giving me results...

Looks like the list has a new problem solver...watch out (Cpt) John Holmes!
:-D

Cheers,
-Ryan

Ryan,

This would have been solved a lot quicker on a list dedicated to Apache.

I tested this, and it works:

.htaccess
---
#Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^tt.php/(.*) tt.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^tt.php/(.*).php tt.php?id=$1

---
With this tt.php file:
---
tt.php



---
A few notes:

- I commented out the Options line because *my* Apache set-up doesn't 
need it, but yours may (it depends on the httpd.conf file).

- I've tested the above with the following URLs:
- http://indentclients.com/tests/ryan/tt/45.php
- http://indentclients.com/tests/ryan/tt/45
- http://indentclients.com/tests/ryan/tt/45/
- http://indentclients.com/tests/ryan/tt.php/45.php
- http://indentclients.com/tests/ryan/tt.php/45
- http://indentclients.com/tests/ryan/tt.php/45/
In all cases, it output:
Array
(
[id] => 45
)
- it also works for me without the  and  lines

- if this STILL doesn't work, it's more than likely that your host does 
not allow mod_rewrite, doesn't allow you total freedom in your 
.htaccess file, etc etc -- find a new host.

I had the same problem with PHP after I've upgraded to 4.3.3 from 4.3.1.  I was tearing my hair out but couldn't figure out what was wrong.  I ended up editing my php.ini file and turning REGISTER GLOBALS = On.  It works fine now and since this is on my development box I don't really care about security that much.  Hope this helped...

This works fine for me:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^show/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) /show.php?a=$1&b=$2&c=$3

What version of Apache/PHP are you using?
Have you checked bugs.php.net?
You're not using some weirdo operating system like Windows are you?

If all else fails you can use the 'parse the URL' method that I outlined 
earlier.

Re: [PHP] URL rewriting...anybody done this?

[Ryan A]

Hi again,
I did a little pokeing around and installed this on 3 differient
serversand the results were identical...
so its not the servers fault but something with the directives...

got some interesting results with my testing

am using this:
echo "Ok,we are in show.php";
if(isset($_GET["id"])){echo "Got \$_GET[id]";}else{echo "No
\$_GET[id]";}
if(isset($_GET["sid"])){echo "Got \$_GET[sid]";}else{echo "No
\$_GET[sid]";}
print_r($_GET);

This is still not working:
http://rizkhan.net/articles/show/2/1
(output is:  )
Ok,we are in show.php
No $_GET[id]
No $_GET[sid]
Array ( )

This gives the exact expected results (working)
http://rizkhan.net/articles/show/?sid=1&id=2 (note I dont have to write
show.php)

This gives me screwy results:
http://rizkhan.net/articles/show/?1/2
(output is:  )
Ok,we are in show.php
No $_GET[id]
No $_GET[sid]
Array ( [1/2] => )

in case you guys forgot, this is what i entered into my httpd.conf:

 #of course i entered the correct path#
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
AllowOverride all


This is my htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^show/(.*)/(.*) /show.php?sid=$1&id=$2

incase i forgot to mention it...this "#¤"#¤#" thing is not working.


ANY ideas?

Thanks,
-Ryan

I am a little late but I have used the method described on a list apart
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/succeed/ and it works really
well.
You might want to give it a try, I think it works a little bit
different than the way you are trying.

Hey,
At least you remember what it used to look like, I dont!
Soo many modificatios in both .htaccess and httpd.conf and restarts...have
just lost track.

Will try your example one at a time and see what happens.

Thanks again.

Seems like you are getting closer. You are going to the right place, but
none of your variables are making it. I am not sure what your rule looks
like now, but at one point it was:

RewriteRule ^show/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) /show.php?category=poetry&sid=$2&id=$3

I would recommend trying just one variable first. See if you can get
that to work, then add the others one at a time. Maybe something like
this to start with:

RewriteRule ^show/(.*) /show.php?foo=$1

And see what $_GET looks like.

As was previously suggested just do a 

  print_r($_GET)

to see what, if anything, you're getting.

Hey,
I put this in for testing:

if(isset($_GET["sid"])){echo "Got \$_GET[sid]";}else{echo "No

and heres the output:
No $_GET[id]
No $_GET[sid]

So the variables are not being passed
Any idea why and what I can do about this?

Well, are any of them in $_GET? If so, are they getting assigned to the
right place? How about putting a print_r($_GET) in show.php.

Hey,
Ok, have added "echo "Ok,we are in show.php";" and if you go to 
http://rizkhan.net/articles/show/category/1/2 or
http://rizkhan.net/articles/show.php?category=poetry&sid=1&id=2

you will see that its echoing that without a problem..so this is
partly working.

now what to do about the variables?

Make sure you upload the .htaccess file as ASCII mode, not binary. (That
wasted lots of my time recently.)

Do you have a print or echo in show.php to see if you are getting there?
I would work on getting the rule to take you to the right place first,
then worry about the variables.

Hey Jason, Brad,
Thanks for replying.

I took out the .php part...and even tried it with [L] tacked to the end of
the second linenot working
Heres how my .htaccess looks now:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^show/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) /show.php?category=poetry&sid=$2&id=$3

I even took out the space which was in category.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ryan,

I'm doing what I believe Jason is indicating above. I'm sure in your
research you read the articles about URL rewriting on A List Apart,
specifically this one: . Using
a similar approach, I'm saving page content in a database with the unique
identifier set to the desired value of $REQUEST_URI. After redirecting all
requests to index.php as described in the article, I use code in index.php
similar to what's in the article, plus this for the database content:

-

// check for database content
$conn = db_connect();
if (!$conn) {
$db_error = mysql_error();
include("error_page.php");
exit();
}
// get the page details from db
$request = substr($REQUEST_URI, 1);
$results = mysql_query("SELECT DisplayStatus FROM Pages WHERE
MenuPath='$request' AND DisplayStatus='Y'");
if (!$results) {
$db_error = mysql_error();
include("error_page.php");
exit();
}
if (mysql_num_rows($results) > 0) {
include("page.php");
exit();
}

// if request has not been matched, include custom error page
include("notfound.php");
exit();

-

That pulls page content based on $REQUEST_URI. I build site menus from the
database, using values from the MenuPath field as URLs.

One thing I noticed is that your rule is looking for a .php at the end
so the above url will not match.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^show/(.*)/(.*)/(.*).php
/show.php?category=Beginners%20Corner&sid=$2&id=$3

I don't remember for sure, but do you need an [L] at the end of the
second line?

It doesn't look like your rule would match. Try:
  RewriteRule ^show/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)

Another way to achieve a similar result without using Rewrite is to parse 
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], and possibly $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']

Eg if your link is:

  http://www.rizkhan.net/articles/show.php/Beginners%20Corner/1/1

Then $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] would contain

  /articles/show.php/Beginners%20Corner/1/1

and $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] would contain

  /Beginners%20Corner/1/1

Hey,
Thanks for replying.

It seems to be partly working.

/*

that working, then add the others. Also, I am not sure how it will
handle the space in "Beginners Corner". Try passing simple values first.
*/
Its a bit hard to explain what happens so see for yourself:
Heres the index page:
http://www.rizkhan.net/articles/articles.php
Heres the actual page:
http://www.rizkhan.net/articles/show.php?category=Beginners%20Corner&sid=1&id=1
and then if you modify it to:
http://www.rizkhan.net/articles/show/Beginners%20Corner/1/1

it just shows me the index...which even links wrong.

Ok, will try to pass a value without the space in between.

Yep, mod_rewrite is installed (http://rizkhan.net/phpinfo.php)
I did restart apache.

Any ideas?

How isn't it working? What happens? I would try one variable first, get
that working, then add the others. Also, I am not sure how it will
handle the space in "Beginners Corner". Try passing simple values first.

I am assuming you have Apache compiled with mod_rewrite and you have the
proper settings in httpd.conf (ie. LoadModule). Did you restart Apache?

[PHP] URL rewriting...anybody done this?

[Ryan A]

Hi,
I have a blog kind of app running on my site...presently it shows like this:
show.php?category=Beginners%20Corner&sid=1&id=1

After searching on google on how to make my blog my search engine friendly I
came accorss
mod_rewrite and couple of tutorials on it, finally the one I understood and
tried to use was this one:

http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/23/0.php

so I added this to my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^show/(.*)/(.*)/(.*).php
/show.php?category=Beginners%20Corner&sid=$2&id=$3

and added this to my httpd.conf:
AccessFileName .htaccess

AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All



Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
AllowOverride all


But somehow its not working :-(( I made the changes in the httpd.conf and
also in a .htaccess file...

PLEAS HEEELLP.

Thanks in advance,
-Ryan
