Hi i have a site called finittra.com all menu's are dynamically linked with the page. I tried to make the site as like as a CMS. If i click on the about menu the url shows that http://www.finittra.com/?page=about & if i click on the contact page the url shows site url /?page=contact but i want that i would like to show everything within the finittra.com/finittra/ as like as a folder or canonical link type which is search engine optimization url friendly. Please anybody here to help me?
You might want to rewrite your URLs using .htaccess. You can use this mod-rewrite generator: http://www.generateit.net/mod-rewrite
Example:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /?page=$1 [L]
But a proper & organized way would be using a Router, try Aura.Router
Example usage:
$routes = [
[
"name" => "My_route",
"pattern" => "/{page}",
],
[
"name" => "Another_route",
"pattern" => "/pages/{page}",
]
];
This is your routes array, the router will go through all routes and check if the given request url matches any of them.
$factory = new RouterFactory;
$router = $factory->newInstance();
foreach ($routes as $route) {
$router->add($route['name'], $route['pattern']);
}
$path = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
$match = $router->match($path, $_SERVER);
if ($match) {
$params = $match->params;
echo $params['page'];
}
URL to echo the page param: http://www.finittra.com/about
You will need to do the same as get for POST requests, but instead u'll need to add them manually to the url path. Atleast how I do it.
I'd try something like
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
This rewrites every finittra.com/xyz/ (which will be visible) to finittra.com/?page=xyz.
If you want your pages to have different names, you'll have to do that manually, I guess.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^finittra/?$ index.php?page=contact [L,NC,QSA]
Also, you have to adjust the links on your website
you must use .htaccess file in your project ,like :
.htaccess :
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^user/(\d+)*$ ./page.php?id=$1
If url request equl : http://www.finittra.com/user/123
Load :page.php?id=123

In Node we can get an url address with a structure like this /example/:page/:id and we can take the page and id params. Is there a possibility to do something similar using PHP? Or is it only possible using the "?" with all the wanted params after the interrogation point?
I searched for a while and I tried some configurations in the htaccess file. All of them gave some kind of error like 403, 404 or in one of the configurations the intentioned page was loaded but it didn't find the css, js and images files.
Thanks
Edit:
I will put the solution I found here because maybe it can be useful for someone someday. After looking for some routers packages, I saw them instructing to put these lines in the htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L,QSA]
I've tried something like this before and it was the one that I mentioned in the question that loaded the page but it didn't find the files like css, js, etc.
So I've decide to check the base url and I saw this was the point where the error was coming. After I changed it, the page loaded as the expected and now it's possible to get the value where the users can put a number and redirect to the page that they want (it's something like a magazine).
You can achieve it many ways.
In Laravel (see Documentation). I think every framework now has routing implemented.
Route::get('example/{page}/{id}', function ($page, $id) {
//
})->where(['page' => '[0-9]+', 'id' => '[a-z]+']);
With Mod-rewrite and then with access through $_GET parameters.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^example/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1&id=$2 [NC]
You can also redirect everything to index.php and there implement your own router. See: Redirect all to index.php using htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
Something like this could work
$uri = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
$uri = explode( '/', $uri );
// all of our endpoints start with /person
// everything else results in a 404 Not Found
if ($uri[1] !== 'page') {
header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found");
exit();
}
For more reference visit this url
https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/03/08/simple-rest-api-php
have you tried parse_url()?
it will return and associative array which has all the components in your URL
Normally, the practice or very old way of displaying some profile page is like this:
www.domain.com/profile.php?u=12345
where u=12345 is the user id.
In recent years, I found some website with very nice urls like:
www.domain.com/profile/12345
How do I do this in PHP?
Just as a wild guess, is it something to do with the .htaccess file? Can you give me more tips or some sample code on how to write the .htaccess file?
According to this article, you want a mod_rewrite (placed in an .htaccess file) rule that looks something like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/news/([0-9]+)\.html /news.php?news_id=$1
And this maps requests from
/news.php?news_id=63
to
/news/63.html
Another possibility is doing it with forcetype, which forces anything down a particular path to use php to eval the content. So, in your .htaccess file, put the following:
<Files news>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
And then the index.php can take action based on the $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] variable:
<?php
echo $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
// outputs '/63.html'
?>
I recently used the following in an application that is working well for my needs.
.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# enable rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On
# if requested url does not exist pass it as path info to index.php
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?/ [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
index.php
foreach (explode ("/", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) as $part)
{
// Figure out what you want to do with the URL parts.
}
I try to explain this problem step by step in following example.
0) Question
I try to ask you like this :
i want to open page like facebook profile www.facebook.com/kaila.piyush
it get id from url and parse it to profile.php file and return featch data from database and show user to his profile
normally when we develope any website its link look like
www.website.com/profile.php?id=username
example.com/weblog/index.php?y=2000&m=11&d=23&id=5678
now we update with new style not rewrite we use www.website.com/username or example.com/weblog/2000/11/23/5678 as permalink
http://example.com/profile/userid (get a profile by the ID)
http://example.com/profile/username (get a profile by the username)
http://example.com/myprofile (get the profile of the currently logged-in user)
1) .htaccess
Create a .htaccess file in the root folder or update the existing one :
Options +FollowSymLinks
# Turn on the RewriteEngine
RewriteEngine On
# Rules
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php
What does that do ?
If the request is for a real directory or file (one that exists on the server), index.php isn't served, else every url is redirected to index.php.
2) index.php
Now, we want to know what action to trigger, so we need to read the URL :
In index.php :
// index.php
// This is necessary when index.php is not in the root folder, but in some subfolder...
// We compare $requestURL and $scriptName to remove the inappropriate values
$requestURI = explode(‘/’, $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]);
$scriptName = explode(‘/’,$_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_NAME’]);
for ($i= 0; $i < sizeof($scriptName); $i++)
{
if ($requestURI[$i] == $scriptName[$i])
{
unset($requestURI[$i]);
}
}
$command = array_values($requestURI);
With the url http://example.com/profile/19837, $command would contain :
$command = array(
[0] => 'profile',
[1] => 19837,
[2] => ,
)
Now, we have to dispatch the URLs. We add this in the index.php :
// index.php
require_once("profile.php"); // We need this file
switch($command[0])
{
case ‘profile’ :
// We run the profile function from the profile.php file.
profile($command([1]);
break;
case ‘myprofile’ :
// We run the myProfile function from the profile.php file.
myProfile();
break;
default:
// Wrong page ! You could also redirect to your custom 404 page.
echo "404 Error : wrong page.";
break;
}
2) profile.php
Now in the profile.php file, we should have something like this :
// profile.php
function profile($chars)
{
// We check if $chars is an Integer (ie. an ID) or a String (ie. a potential username)
if (is_int($chars)) {
$id = $chars;
// Do the SQL to get the $user from his ID
// ........
} else {
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($char);
// Do the SQL to get the $user from his username
// ...........
}
// Render your view with the $user variable
// .........
}
function myProfile()
{
// Get the currently logged-in user ID from the session :
$id = ....
// Run the above function :
profile($id);
}
Simple way to do this. Try this code. Put code in your htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule profile/(.*)/ profile.php?u=$1
RewriteRule profile/(.*) profile.php?u=$1
It will create this type pretty URL:
http://www.domain.com/profile/12345/
For more htaccess Pretty URL:http://www.webconfs.com/url-rewriting-tool.php
It's actually not PHP, it's apache using mod_rewrite. What happens is the person requests the link, www.example.com/profile/12345 and then apache chops it up using a rewrite rule making it look like this, www.example.com/profile.php?u=12345, to the server. You can find more here: Rewrite Guide
ModRewrite is not the only answer. You could also use Options +MultiViews in .htaccess and then check $_SERVER REQUEST_URI to find everything that is in URL.
There are lots of different ways to do this. One way is to use the RewriteRule techniques mentioned earlier to mask query string values.
One of the ways I really like is if you use the front controller pattern, you can also use urls like http://yoursite.com/index.php/path/to/your/page/here and parse the value of $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].
You can easily extract the /path/to/your/page/here bit with the following bit of code:
$route = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], strlen($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));
From there, you can parse it however you please, but for pete's sake make sure you sanitise it ;)
It looks like you are talking about a RESTful webservice.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer
The .htaccess file does rewrite all URIs to point to one controller, but that is more detailed then you want to get at this point. You may want to look at Recess

Hello I've bee trying for 1 week now to fix some urls on my custom built site but I can't accomplish what I want 100%. So here is my question:
I have a php landing page that manages events the default url structure is this:
foreach($resultSet as $key => $event)
{
echo 'content';
}
As you can see the url format is like this
/event.php?eid=145&cat=metal&title=Great+gig
What I would like it to be through htaccess is something like this
domain.com/event/metal/Great gig
I've been reading htaccess guides but I cant make it work with more tahn 1 params on the url please advise, Thank you.
Change your php code so that it generates URLs that look like domain.com/event/metal/Great gig:
echo 'content';
(Note that the 'category' is mispelled in your example)
Add these rules in the htaccess file in your document root, preferably above any rules you may have already there:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?event/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/(.+)$ /event.php?eid=$1&cat=$2&title=$3 [L,QSA]
Additionally, if you have links that are out of your control that still have the query string, you can add these rules:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD)\ /event\.php\?eid=([^&]+)&cat=([^&]+)&title=([^\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /event/%2/%3/%4? [L,R=301]
I'm trying to create a url routing script for my new CMS but must confess that regex isn't my strong side. So far i keep running into errors or no results.
What i'm trying to accomplish is using certain tags like :id :year :slug etc...
Can anybody help me out or guide me to the right direction with this, that is how to use preg_match or similar functions to find the right "url pattern"? Google has not been doing it job for once :S
ADDED
Example url http://www.mysite.com/post/2011/08/15/title-of-a-blogg-post/
If i have a route database and one pattern is for example post/:year/:month/:day/:slug i want it to match this pattern and call a certain controller, action and in this example a certain article.
The regex array i created looks like
$patterns = array(
":id" => "/^[0-9]*$/",
":year" => "/^([0-9]{4})*$/",
":year_short" => "/^([0-9]{2})*$/",
":month" => "/^([0-9]{2})*$/",
":day" => "/^([0-9]{2})*$/",
":slug" => "/^[a-zA-Z0-9 -]*$"
);
I reckon i need to replace :id to /^[0-9]*$/ and afterwards run a preg_match to find if the url pattern exists in my routes table. However i don't know if i'm using the right regex patterns or just completely lost.
My .htaccess file is (because i need to use $_GET as well)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
I use this basically to fetch the url and leave out $_GET variables.
$route_orginal = trim($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
if(strpos($route_orginal, "?")!=FALSE) {
list($route_orginal, $get_orginal) = explode("?", trim($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]));
}
if( substr($route_orginal,(strlen($route_orginal)-1),strlen($route_orginal)) == "/") {
$this->routes = substr($route_orginal,1,(strlen($route_orginal)-2));
} else {
$this->routes = substr($route_orginal,1,strlen($route_orginal));
}
I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish.
But if you want a URL like www.mysite.com/tags/id-year-slug
where every tag is seperated by a hyphen, you could do like this:
First, you need a .htaccess file in your root to create pretty urls.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/tags/([A-Za-z-]+)$ index.php?tags=$1 [L,QSA]
Then in your index, you explode the tags by the - delimiter:
$tags = explode('-',$_GET['tags']);
Now you have an array of tags, which you can use for your sql and the url is pretty - high five!
