Not entirely sure what you're asking here, or how you (or the
nginx folks) expect it to relate to PHP. Do you mean that you want to
use PHP to have theme2.php act as if it was called as theme.php?id=2 ?
I have me write a blog, but my blog has link like blogdetail.html?id=1 or =2
through 16 at moment. And for google and other Search Engines not good the
links, better where i can rewrite to a fix link, and when someone use the
link, php write to correct url.
Common SEO mythology is that you need pretty human-understandable
links. (In point of fact, the search engines care not in the least.)
However, human-understandable URLs are a benefit to users when they want
to understand what they're linking to or clicking on.
A human-understandable link is more like:
http://www.example.com/blog/2013-05-a-day-in-the-life-of-my-dog
not:
http://www.example.com/blog/2
as that really does not provide any more information than:
http://www.example.com/blog.php?id=2
Otherwise, Daniel's solution below should do the trick.
Sorry my english not perfect on earth.
If so, it's not redirect or rewrite, and it's extremely hacky, but
this is the only real way PHP could achieve the desired result:
?php
// dynamictheme.php
if (preg_match('/.*([0-9]+)\.php/Ui',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],$match)) {
$_GET['id'] = $match[1];
include dirname(__FILE__).'/theme.php';
}
?
Then just symlink dynamictheme.php to your various themes like so:
ln -s dynamictheme.php theme2.php
ln -s dynamictheme.php theme301.php
ln -s dynamictheme.php theme18447.php

[PHP] url string being split
Hello list,
I'm trying to pass a query string through $_GET but for some reason
the array is being split on ''. How may I avoid this so it stays
intacted?
user selection portion:
while($storerow = mysql_fetch_assoc($storesresult))
echo 'h4a href=store.php?id=' . $storerow['store_subject'] . ''
. $storerow['store_subject'] . '/a/h4 at ' . date('m-d-Y h:i:s A',
strtotime($storerow['real_time_date']));
produces url string:
http://westeng/forum/store.php?id=Wiser Communication, LLC - - Sprague Ave
print(pre.print_r($_GET,true)./pre); ## results below
Array
(
[id] = Wiser Communication, LLC -
[-_Sprague_Ave] =
)
How do I make it so the string isn't split into two elements in the
array? I want it to stay instact.
Thank you,
Chris

Re: [PHP] URL injection
https://www.xxx.co.uk/register.php;| grep 123 I wonder what kind of browser could make this, probably a hacker-made one! This URL will have to be translated into its equivalent URI, if using GET the HTTP message's start line would look like: GET /register.php| grep 123 HTTP/1.1 First of all, the HTTP protocol states that the start line should contain: METHOD one or more spaces URI one or more spaces HTTP/1.1 So, this is clearly violated as there are two spaces surrounding grep, i believe if the server has trouble with this request, it's not yet at the PHP level... it's an HTTP issue, clearly server related. You wont detect this with PHP, and if you do detect anything, it means your server has modified it so you could... for example, in this case it might convert the whole | grep 123 into a single get argument's name, it could be simply removed/ignored, the server could try to see if there is a file named `/register.php| grep 123` and returns a 404... but the only acceptable behavior in this case is for the server to return 400 (read http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.1).

Well, that doesn't work here.. Also, according to docs, all $_GET variables are
already urldecoded when they're accessed in the script.
Nevertheless, urldecode doesn't give the result I was looking for. I've also
tried mb_convert_encoding, html_entity_decode and combinations all over...
And I can't see why there are THREE characters in the URL, the original is only
one 'ö'. If I simply do a echo urlencode('ö') it shows %C3%B6.

Hi,
As far as I can follow, this looks much like a 404 redirect trick which
captures all not found files/paths. Based on the extension, you can
still do fun or cool stuff and get more control about virtual paths etc.
As always: TIMTOWTDI, so I'm gonna play with this .htaccess rule and see
if this is better than a 404 handler.

Yeap, PHP rocks! I mentioned it in the first reply, only that it was not
rental.php, but index.php. Many if not all MVC frameworks support this kind of
routing which doesn't require mod_rewrite.
However, I prefer mod_rewrite if it's available, for crawlers it is not the same
/index.php/my-keywrod than /my-keyword alone. But I must admit that there are a
hundred other factors that can have much more weight for generating SEO problems
than having index.php everywhere.

On IIS I belive the default document is default.htm Though you should be
able to modify this to whatever you please. On Apache it is index.html
or index.php (for example). Regardless you want this to be parsed by
PHP, and then you can stick the following in it:
?php
header('http://www.example.com/login.php');
?
Place this file in your login directory and then you'll be able to
publish URLs such as http://www.example.com/login The trailing slash is
not necessary if login is a directory. For example:
http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk/demo
To use url's like http://domain.com/login/ as opposed to
http://domain.com/login.php you can take multiple approaches.
The first and simplest is to simply save your login.php as /login/index.php
to use this approach you need to ensure that index.php is listed as a
default page.
In IIS you can set the default page(s) to be whatever you like:
- Open IIS Manager
- Server - Websites - Right Click [properties]
- select Documents tab
- ensure Enable default content page is ticked
- ensure index.php is listed
- if not then click [add] and enter index.php
- continue to add any other default pages [index.html, index.shtml etc]
The second common solution [and I'd advise to get used to it asap] is to
use URL rewriting.
In short url rewriting involves defining rules which the web server
uses to direct http requests to resources on the server.
eg: direct domain.com/all_our_news to /index.php?newsitem=all
a quick intro guide can be found here:
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/guide-url-rewriting
For URL rewriting in IIS use ISAPI Rewrite - http://www.isapirewrite.com/
in apache use mod_rewrite
[apache1.3] httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html
[apache2.0] httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html
Both are pretty much identical when it comes to the end rewrite rules.
Hope that helps a little

Re: [PHP] URL modification
/rental/property/23425 to: /index.php?mod=propertysection=rentalspropertyid=23425 Thinking about this a little, you still don't need mod_rewrite. rental could be a PHP script, forced through PHP with: Files rental ForceType application/x-httpd-php /Files In either a .htaccess file or, if performance is an absolute necessity, your httpd.conf file (ie .htaccess files are turned off). In your rental PHP script you simply look at the REQUEST_URI $_SERVER variable to determine the correct data to show.

because the question was I want to replace the extension '.cfm' with
'-meta.cfm',
which I assumed meant the OP didn't want 'my.cfm.php' to become
'my-meta.cfm.php'
and a str_replace('.cfm', '-meta.cfm', $foo) would not be correct in that
situation.
hopefully now the use of preg_replace() in my example makes sense.
oh and I forget to add delimeters to the regexps in my examples, which was a
stupid
oversight.

Hi, I'm working on redesigning the backend of the website for work. It was originally done in ColdFusion, but I'm switching it over to PHP - probably going to transfer the website from where it's currently hosted to something a lot cheaper, too, hence the switching to PHP. Anyway. Because we are a manufacturing company, we have a few different lines of products. Currently, each different product line has it's own page (and own meta tags). The current set up has ColdFusion grabbing the current page from the URL stripping off the '.cfm' extension and adding '-meta.cfm' before including it in the header. I'm sure there is a way to do this in PHP, but I'm out of shape enough with using PHP that I can't remember, and I can't seem to find anything that will work for me. I just want to be able to pull whatever address is in the URL, get the file name, and go from there. Any ideas? Anything would be helpful. :) Thanks, Amanda

[PHP] [URL file-access is disabled]
Hello everyone, I have a problem, that I hope you can help me to solve: I'm writing a very simple PHP script to list a directory contents based on a 'user' variable given by a login/password script. The problem is, the webhosting i'm using don't allow the so called URL file-access ( i'm using PANDELA.COM ).

But, is there a workaround for that? I mean, every user has their own folder, and every folder has a default script called listdir.php - all that this script does is to list all files avaiable to him. But then, I get this error message below.

Re: [PHP] PHP URL issues
There are lies, damned lies and statistics. Had he known about benchmarks! I have already tried different ways of producing output and I completely disagree that concatenating the pieces and then echoing them is the best. In a first try, I found that echoing the separate parts as arguments to echo with commas in between was the fastest and variable interpolation within double quotes strings (or heredoc) was fastest than concatenation. Nevertheless, in a later trial, the numbers which were so clearly in favor of echo with multiple arguments, turned only slightly better, not enough to justify the loss of flexibility of building up a string first and having the option of manipulating it. This last sentence was confusing, lets see. When writing functions, you might either have them do the echo themselves or returning a string. The first is fastest, the second offers flexibility. If the first is really much faster, I'm willing to do away with the flexibility, which is no more than a potencial benefit, since 90% of the time I might have nothing at all to do with the return value of the funcion and, if really needed, I might use output buffering. Neverhteless, if the straight echoes are not that much faster, I'd rather keep an ace in my sleeve and go with returning strings. In my first trial, the result was conclusive, it was about 4 to 1, in the second, it was about 20% faster. The first was done on my own personal machine, a Windows machine doing nothing else, the second on my ISP shared hosting with an unknown load. I might say that my test on my own idle machine was the most representative, since it didn't have to deal with external issues such as competing for external resources, but then, that competition is really part of life. Though avoiding the memory shuffling of doing many string concatenations, doing echoes with multiple arguments might require the interpreter to negotiate access to IO buffers more often than building the whole page in memory and then getting it echoed just once. And I am sure that the way Windows and Linux handles IO with Apache is quite different, so, which benchmark is really representative? I am sure that some benchmarks are quite representative, independent of platforms. For example, it would make sense that doing an exact equality (triple =) should be faster than a plain equality. The first fails straight away if types are different and in no case is any conversion made. In the second, if the types don't match conversions need to be made first (after figuring out which one to make) so logic indicates it should take longer. Nevertheless, I don't feel like testing it out since the results, as my previous experience indicate, seem to be so uncertain. I'm not even arguing whether it makes sense or not in trying to shave off a few ticks of the clock. I am sure that a machine handling who knows how many users requests simultaneously will appreciate any little help, actually, I'm not sure I am actually looking for answers because, as far as I know, the answer is: it depends Satyam - Original Message - From: Richard Lynch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 10:07 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP URL issues On Tue, March 13, 2007 9:31 am, Steve wrote: This may or may not help, but here's a few things to note: 1) I would avoid placing variable output in double quoted strings.

I personally have not unfortunately. A good friend of mine is also a developer who initially told me about it when I first began coding. Because I don't want to stick with the he-said, she-said approach, I did a quick google search and came up with this link: http://spindrop.us/2007/03/03/php-double-versus-single-quotes/ There's several other pages saying similar things if you do look around. Even the performance different isn't significant, it will add up. If something like this is known to help ever so slightly with execution time and it's something you can teach yourself to do subconsciously, then I feel it's definitely worthwhile to pursue.

Fw: [PHP] PHP URL issues
One more example of a questionable benchmark, not wrong but I wonder (as I was doing in my previous) whether it is really representative. There are two main ways to handle strings, one is to malloc exactly the required memory for each string and keep moving characters around from one chunk of memory to another. If you append a single character to a string, you would measure both, add their lengths plus whatever overhead your data representation requires, malloc that much memory, move the characters from each source and then free the memory occupied by the first. The other way to do it is to malloc memory in more or less fixed sizes and include in the header of your variable a length field. With plenty of memory available nowadays, few still choose the first option. Appending a few characters does not require any new memory allocation nor freeing it up. The later method depends on how good where your statistics (more damned lies once again) about the average string length, but if you get it right, appending to a string ( .= operator) becomes as fast as appending to a StreamBuffer, as found in other languages with separate Strings and Streams classes. Some languages do not even require string space to be contiguous so that when one block is used up you don't have to get a bigger one and move everything to the new place, the blocks comprising the string are linked in a list. That's one reason why lots of languages now prefer 'immutable strings', it is no longer possible to treat the string as an array of characters since they cannot be accessed via a simple offset. This benchmark is probably exercising more the symbol table lookups and memory allocation functions than the actual concatenation, since it is allocating and freeing up lots of space for really tiny strings that don't take much of that space at all. Whatever difference there is in the actual string operation might be clouded under other factors. Regardless, I do prefer to use single quotes and, as I mentioned elsewhere, I just echo the bits and pieces as soon as I am able, reasoning that the output buffer is truly a stream buffer and since the echo is a language construct (no function call overhead), it should be faster than managing memory to hold strings. As I said, though, the performance of one option against others varies so much in different trials under different conditions that I feel foolish just to show them. Then, not even logic works fine if you mean to define what is faster and what is not. Sometimes the developers, using profilers and such tools, find a very slow spot and they get to optimize it to such an extent that it works faster than its un-optimized relative, which under equal circumstances would have actually been faster. Using single quotes for PHP strings frees me the double quotes for HTML attribute values without any need to escape them. I have defined CRLF and TAB as constants which I can redefine at any time to an empty string if I no longer care my HTML output to be readable. Since I prefer to keep all values in their native PHP format up to the last moment, and those values have to be passed either through htmlentities(), number_format(), money_format() or strftotime() on output, variable interpolation is out of the question anyway.

Re: [PHP] PHP URL issues
This may or may not help, but here's a few things to note: 1) I would avoid placing variable output in double quoted strings. While not important for smaller scripts, doing a large number of outputs like this causes a decent performance hit. In fact, I wouldn't use double quotes ever in php. Instead, strive for something like: echo 'ba href=test.php?term='.$letter_value.''.$letter_value.' nbsp;/a/b'; for your anchor statement. This translates to echo 'ba href=test.php?term='.$letter_value.'amp;type='.$type_value.''.$letter_value.' nbsp;/a/b'; for your second one. 2) If you didn't notice above, I replaced your with the html entity equivalent amp;. I did this because I'm pretty stubborn when it comes to trying to keep things as close to strict following of the xhtml 1.0+ standards as I can. If the URL still isn't working after that update, you have some more options: 1) First, I would double check that both variables have a value coming into that block of code. Output them before you create the url. 2) Then, I would isolate the url itself and see if you can print that out before putting it in the anchor statement. Something like: $url = 'test.php?term='.$letter_value.'amp;type='.$type_value; If you can echo that out, try putting that value back into the anchor: echo 'a href='.$url.''.$letter_value.'/a'; 3) If that doesn't work, try just passing the second value that wasn't working before. If none of that works, double check the spelling of all variables and possibly start attempting to typecast the values appropriately. I have a feeling, though, it won't make it this far and by doing one of the above you will notice things start working or the mistake you made.

Re: [PHP] PHP URL issues
I wouldn't do the htmlentities() on the whole argument list. Depending on the Doctype version you have declared and depending how well implemented it is in each browser, it may render the argument list useless. Unless you declared the strictest and latest version of HTML, all browsers will take a plain in between arguments instead of an amp;. Haven't you seen the page source as received by the browser? All browsers give you that option somewhere in their menues. What does the URL look like in the Location box in the browser? Just to know whether the problem is in the assembly of the URL or in reading it back. If the URL shows correctly, try a var_dump($_GET). Show it within a pre section so even whitespace is clearly visible.

Cheers I don't know if it matters, but if the variables are coming from the url, you could also retrieve them with $_GET $messageID = $_GET[messageId]; $userID = $_GET[userId]; And in your link, i see it is pointing to page1.php, i don't know if that is just a typo in the example Tijnema - Now that's room service!

I agree that a computerized screen scrapper could still screen scrap most of my site. However, a simple script that attempts to bump up the identifier of a resource in a URL, would not work. Here is example: http://mydomain.com/view_resource.php?id=1 http://mydomain.com/view_resource.php?id=2 http://mydomain.com/view_resource.php?id=3 http://mydomain.com/view_resource.php?id=4 That would not work because my IDs are not sequential. Any thoughts... Do your other pages link to the pages? Because I don't need to PREDICT the URLs, just follow them from page to page. That's pretty much how a search engine works. If you really want to stop a web-scraper, you pretty much have to accept that you'll not be listed in Google (et al) as well. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
