I think if you call it thumbnails.php it won't work.
however if the script is simply called thumbnails then it'll
work.of course you then must make sure that 'thumbnails'
is parsed as php.do this with a .htaccess file :
ForceType application/x-httpd-php

Re: [PHP] Smart URLs
You can do this with just PHP, but I think php must be installed as a
module.
Basically place a file called thumbnails.php in your site route, then
whenever a URL like
mysite.com/thumbnails/funny/4
i called the thumbnails.php is excuted, in which you chop up the URL, and
find all your varibles...
Here is a example of some URL chopping (some code I stole from my source)
/*
Sample URLs:
/s/1/2/SchoolName/StudentName/ -Shows Student Page (with ID 2)
/s/1/0/SchoolName/-Shows Students At School (with school ID 1)
/s/1/2/ -would work as well (name in URL for search engines)
/s/1/0/ -would work as well
/s/-Shows Schools
*/
$url_array=explode("/",$REQUEST_URI); //BREAK UP THE URL PATH
//USING '/' as delimiter
if ($url_array[1] == 's')
{
if (isSet($url_array[2]))
$url_sID=$url_array[2]; //School ID
if (isSet($url_array[3]))
$url_stID=$url_array[3];//Student ID
if (isSet($url_array[4]))
$url_sName=$url_array[4]; //School Name (not used)
if (isSet($url_array[5]))
$url_stName=$url_array[5];//Student Name (not used)
}
/*
There was a article on phpbuilder.com that explains the benefits and
pitfalls of this idea... Here is the URL:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim19990117.php3 and I think there was a
follow up article as well
Enjoy
Andrew

[PHP] Smart URLs
Hey all, I was recently trying my luck at dabbling in some mod_rewrite stuff, and I have run into numerious errors. Basically my aim is to re-write my sites URLs so instead of being say, mysite.com/thumbnails?type=funny&gallery=4 the URL is neat, similar to many sites who would have something like mysite.com/thumbnails/funny/4 What ways are there of achieving this (excluding, redirecting the URL and creating the page say index.htm automatically)? I have tried mod_rewrite for two days solid to no avail. I am not sure if it is my poor coding or the fact that I am running apache2 on a Windows platform which are said not to support such a module well. If any alternatives could be proposed or even better someone could suggest a mod_rewrite routine which would transparently transform any url like mysite.com/whatever/4/6 to mysite.com/whatever.php it would be greatly appreciated. So far the rewrite you see below will work with mysite.com/whatever/ however the minute you add something onto the end i.e. mysite.com/whatever/4/ it will raise the error "Premature end of script headers: php.exe", instead of loading whatever.php as intended. RewriteEngine On Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^/(.+)/(.+) $1.php [L] Thanks for your time and hopefully someone understands what I am trying to say :), and as always any suggestions at all would be awesome!
