I have a back end of an e-com website that links to a suppliers inventory system in a pretty basic way.
for product "SHOE123" we general a product inventory lookup URL that looks like:
https://supplier.com/extranet/cgi/webOrdPad.pgm?ShipTo=1234&PurchaseOrder=1&ShipDate=23/01/19&Style=SHOE123&SoldTo=1234&User400=COMPANY
Recently however the company made some changes to their system which requires a seaprate "VPN" or Proxy login page which then leads to their inventory portal. The issue is the URL now has a dynamic portion:
https://vpn.supplier.com/proxy/62b215e6/http/as400.supplier.com:8081/extranet/cgi/webOrdPad.pgm?ShipTo=1234&PurchaseOrder=1&ShipDate=23/01/19&Style=SHOE123&SoldTo=1234&User400=COMPANY
not the dynamic portion of the URL above.
my idea so far is to just have a dialog box asking to input the dynamic portion so that it saves in our database, and just update after every login.
is there any other way to have this done (retrieve the dynamic portion of the login and use for the generation) short of getting api access if it exists?

I am making a site for someone who wants to embed their own youtube links. I am relatively new to web development and this is my first commission so I was wondering how I could hand over the site to the client and allow them to upload their links without me having to edit the mark up for him.
I understand how to use an '<iframe' youtube link in HTML to embed videos and am considering creating a database using PHPmyadmin that uses a form that the client can fill in with the iframe link whenever he needs to embed a new video.
I understand if that sounds like a convoluted way of doing this but if anyone knows a more intuitive way to solve this issue please let me know :)
I think it can be done using a database, may be MySQL, to keep it simple and a simple backend programming language, PHP would do.
You create an admin page just to collect the URLs from the admin. A nice little login page which stores admin username and password in a table. And you can use this module to assign roles to admin, add an admin or delete one.
Inside the module created above, create a page with a form to fetch and store URLs in the database. If you are going to categorize the videos, use suitable columns. Say you are going to categorize based on the genre and length, the table in your database should contain genre and length so that you can use them as filters later on.
Use cookies to create session for the admin. This is to avoid redirecting him to the login page after every single reload.
For all other user who is not admin, do not redirect to the admin page. Redirect them to a common page where they can search and enjoy the videos that the admin has added.
Again, like mentioned in many comments above, wordpress does it all. You have an option to use it too, it's free.
I am using PHP script to set up a website which sells book.
Let say my website is hosted at www.sell-book-example.com.
I want to allow accessing to a book detail page by navigating to www.sell-book-example.com/book/2121.html where 2121 is the book id.
Keep in mind that book/2121.html should not exist in the document root of the web server.
As in I do not want to pre-create many book detail pages in a book folder.
I have checked some other website which are able to do that with PHP.
If anyone can provide me some sample or link, that would be great.
Thank you.
This approach is known as Dynamically generating of pages by php scripting.
You have to create a script.php file where your dynamic code will be scripted and from the url you have to catch the code and according to the code you have to generate the book detail page. All this should be done by scripting.
The url will be like these
www.sell-book-example.com/script.php?id=2121
www.sell-book-example.com/script.php?id=2122
www.sell-book-example.com/script.php?id=2123
This urls will not show in website. To make it pretty as you need like
www.sell-book-example.com/book/2121.html
You have to redirect in .htaccess file i.e. to map the urls.
For example if some one is trying to call www.sell-book- example.com/book/2121.html url than internally it will be call www.sell-book-example.com/script.php?id=2121 url and produces your book details page of 2121.
What I am trying to do is to make something similar to what I see all the time on almost any website. The button that says Share to facebook. The goal for me is to let my guests share the item they are viewing in my store (Ran on prestashop) on their blog I run (Running on Oxwall).
The goal is for the button to not only link to a blog post submission webpage but to already have the subject line filled out with the item they are sharing's name and the blog post to display the information about the item. I would like to try and do all this using PHP. I am not sure how to go about doing it but I am sure that I could pass the value. Please note that I can mod BOTH the blog site and the shop as I run both and want to connect them.
As an extra bonus I am also running a forum using phpbb3 if I could do the same thing but onto that as well I would greatly thank you. I am trying to interlink everything into one big network. I know its not an easy task but I am sure there is an easy way to pass data onto the other site so that this can be done.
Facebook a 2 tools to get items informations in the page, it parses the page looking for the most common tags and it uses OpenGraph.
You can also provide product informations in the head of your page (between head tags), then blog side, you retrieve only the contents and parse it as XML.
I advise you to cache this data to avoid useless connections between websites and awful overloads while parsing.
You can use your own specifications, Open Graph or another standard, but i advise to use a standard.
I have created a website to display some teacher's profile. Every profile page generate with more dynamic information from database. In my home page I have listed every teachers' profile from database with a link to his complete profile. Eg. index.php?teacherId=21. Now I need to convert from my dynamic pages to basic static HTML pages to get some benefits for my website. Number one is get search engine higher rank to my profile pages. further I need to rename html page with teacher's name. As well as my website has a searching option. It help for users to search teacher profile according to their subjects, grades, town, city, etc. So Can I know, it is possible to create such a searching system to my website after I made my php page to basic HTML pages...
any ideas are greatly appreciated.
What you're looking for is friendly URL: SEO Friendly URL
You make URL's like:
/teachers/21/name-of-teacher
Which then internally maps to:
/profile/teachers/index.php?id=21
The ID at the beginning is what you use to load from MySQL; just like how SO does it really :)
Investigate MVC frameworks for PHP. These will give you your search engine friendly urls.
Two that spring to mind are :
Zend
Cake
There are many more, like this list for starters!
I'm trying to enter a list of items into Google Base via an XML feed so that, when a user searches for one of these items and then clicks the search result link in Google Base (or plain Google), the user is directed to a dynamic Web page on my Web site. I'm assuming that the only way to specify a specific link (either static or dynamic) is through the attribute in the XML feed. Is that correct? So, for example, if my attribute is:
http://www.example.com/product1-info.html
the user will be directed to the product1-info.html page.
But if, instead of a static product page, I want to have the user redirected to a dynamic page that generates search results from my local database (on my Web site) for all products containing the keyword "product1", would I be able to do something like this?:
http://www.example.com/products.php?productID=product1
Finally, and most importantly, is there any way to specify this landing page (or any specific landing page) from a "regular" Google search? Or is it only possible via Google Base and the attribute? In other words, if I put a bunch of stuff into Google Base, if any of it shows up in a regular Google search, is there a way for me to control what parameters get passed to the landing page (and thus, what search is performed on the landing page), or is that out of my control? I hope I explained this correctly. Thanks in advance for any help.
first question: Yes, urls containing a query_string part are allowed.
http://base.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78170 says:XML example:
<link>http://www.example.com/asp/sp.asp?cat=12&id=1030</link>

Let me rephrase the second question to see if I understand it correctly (might be completely on the wrong track): E.g. products.php?productID=product1 performs a db-search for the product "FooEx" and products.php?productID=product2 for "BarPlus". Now you want google to show the link .../products.php?productID=product1 but not ....?productId=product2 if someone searched for "FooEx" and google decided that your site is relevant? Then it's the same "problem" we all face with search engines: communicate what each url is relevant for. I.e. e.g. have the appropriate (and only the appropriate) keywords appear in the title/h1 element of the page, avoid linking to the same contents with different urls (e.g. product.php?x=1&productId=1 <-> product.php?productId=1&x1, different urls requesting most probably the exact same contents), submit a sitemap, and so on and on....
edit:
and you can avoid the query-string part all together by using something like mod_rewrite (e.g. the front controller for the zend framework makes use of it) or by parsing the contents of $_SERVER["PATH_INFO"] (this requires the webserver to provide that information), e.g. http://localhoast/test.php/foo/bar -> $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']=='/foo/bar'
Also take a look at the link to this thread: How to redirect a Google search result to a dynamic Web page?, it contains the title of the thread, but SO is perfectly happy with How to redirect a Google search result to a dynamic Web page?, too. The title is "only" additional data for search engines and (even more) the user.
You can do the same:
http://www.example.com/products.php/product1/FooEx <-> http://www.example.com/products.php/product2/BarPlus
