It's discussed on here often. Basically, you use an apache command to FORCE "groups" to be a PHP file. Then the remainder of the URL is available in $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. You parse that to determine what group the user is after, retrieve the content, and show it. Search the archives or google for "search friendly urls" and you should get some good tutorials or instructions. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I´ll take a better look at it!!! Thanks!!! I guess there´s no way to do something like this only with PHP, without Apache conf, is there? thnx again, Juan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I mean, the thing is that I want to execute the same PHP scripts, no matter what directory I´m in, but show data according to what directory I´m in, exactly the same that happens with yahoogroups and it´s groups that´s why I´m thinking in putting the PHP pages in each directory which just include the common PHPs from an include directory (could use hard links either, but I prefer doing it via PHP and not depend on Os stuff) so that´s what I´m asking, if there´s a better way to achieve this, not talking about cookies :) Juan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This would keep your user's URL the same, but actually point to a different page internally. This is, of course, depends on whether you or your host have mod_rewrite installed. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] some kind of redirection (not the header function)
I'm pretty sure that YahooGroups uses cookies for this to hold values while you're not on their site. When you return it checks for the cookies and reloads the values from the last visit. You can accomplish this with PHP as well.

You can access a mian page, where you login and have a list of all the groups you are subscribe to. You click on the link to each one and it redirects you to: http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/yourGroup/ There it displays the page for your group with all it´s characteristics. The same behaviour if you access that URL directly. Or you can also access http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/yourGroup/messages/ etc Thatś what I ant to do :) Any ideas? thnx again, Juan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] some kind of redirection (not the header function)
Is there any type of criteria that would point a user to directoryA or directoryB? I recently rebuilt a site that handled a couple thousand different working directories for clients but used only one set of scripts for all. The user would have to login and variables were pulled from a database to set the directory that they would work in. The directory name could be passed from script to script or stored in sessions.
