URL rewriting without mod_rewrite

**Psyche** · Jan 11, 2007, 14:45

Hello!

Is it possible to rewrite an url without using mod_rewrite? If yes, how?

Thanks.

you should beable to just use:

PHP Code:


header("Location: http://www.wsforums.com");

if that doesnt work for some reason you could always do a meta refresh or a javascript redirect like this:

HTML Code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://www.wsforums.com">

(this goes in the <head> tag)
in javascript use:

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.location = "http://www.wsforums.com";
</script>

you can make a bunch of directorys and put an index.php script in each.
these index.php scripts can then include some other script which will examine the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and output the neccesary data to the browser.

you also might be able to set a php script as your custom error page.

neither are a very good solution.

if you dont have mod_rewrite because your server is not apache, there are other rewriting modules for other server software.
