how to change (?,&) in the link to (/) ?

[Richi]

Hi

I had read once artical how to do handle the submit values from the link as folder, i mean the link will look like this :

http://site.com/showartical/full/14

this link is the same as :

http://site.com/showartical.php?t=full&id=14



how can i do this , and which way is better ?




thx.

First way is better, but you would need to use something like the following

$qStr = explode( '/', $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] );
$t    = $qStr[1];
$id   = $qStr[2]; 

Now, to use a file without an extension like you did below, you would have to put this in a htaccess file:

<Files filename>
    ForceType application-httpd-php
</Files>

Im pretty sure my file type is wrong, but I don't have time to look for it atm

My try at it:

<?php

$new_url = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];

$new_url = str_replace("&", "/", $new_url);
$new_url = str_replace("?", "/", $new_url);

$URL = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."".$new_url;
// Outputting: /dir/file.php/act/whatever/

header("Location: ".$URL);

But as I read the thread, I might be on the wrong topic/idea

[Eric.Coleman]

If your using path info, they are already in the / form dude

somesite.com/file.php/val1/val2/val3 , everything from the / after file.php is in $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], look below:

// url is somesite.com/file.php/val1/val2/val3

$qStr = explode( '/', $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] );

$val1 = $qStr[1];
$val2 = $qStr[2];
$val3 = $qStr[3];

// or you can do it like this

list( , $val1, $val2, $val3 ) = explode( '/', $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] ); 

Note, it IS supposed to be list( , $val1... First value is going to be blank, therefor a dummy, no need to assin it to a variable.

well thx alot guys !

[Richi]

i cann`t get $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] !!

echo $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']; 

i got nothing , am using php 4.2.2 !

is there somthing to change on apache config ot php.ini ?

[Richi]

is it the same result as $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?

[someonewhois]

Errrr, I don't know quite honestly...


PHP_SELF:

/URI/to/file.php

I'm not sure, but it might be..

P.S I was going the wrong way.

[Technosailor]

you should be using $_ENV['PWD'];

also i got nothing !!!


weirdbeardmt ;
not this artical, maybe in phpbuilder, but i cann`t find it now !

the result of $PHP_SELF is :
http://site.com/dir/x.php

$PHP_SLEF = /dir/x.php


i got 'maybe' strange , when i write echo $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], i got nothing , but with explode it i got the vars, az Zaire code !

[Eric.Coleman]

Using $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] your URL MUST be like this:

file.php/val1/val2/val3/val4

or it fill mess up, everything after the filename ( file.php ) will show up in $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']

[archigamer]

why not have a look at the mod-rewrite module to acomplish this, there was article published about it on october 21 this year. It is good in my opinion.

You are right Eric, it should be...

ForceType application/x-httpd-php

I used files with no extension, eg. a file called 'photo' to display my photos, looks like a directory from the URL though. Subsequent query string (I like to call them 'Query Path') parameters can be pulled out my methods similar to those already mentioned. It works great!

[Eric.Coleman]

If you don't have $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] available... i can guess your problem!

If running Apache 2, you need to add

 AcceptPathInfo On

inside where you define your variables for your site (httpd.conf)

[Richi]

You right Zaire ...

but i had slove this problem from weeks ago

thx anyway

I've had code like this working just fine, and I even got rid of the file.php using ForceType directives (this was on W2K, Apache2). Now on my new development machine, using WinXP, Apache 1.3 not even this simple version works!
somesite.com/test.php/val1/val2/val3
I know my php code is working because if I just go to test.php it's fine and doing what I expect. However as soon as I add query parameters such as test.php/foo I get 'No input file specified' error -- that's all that appears on the page. Argh! I am thinking it's an Apache thing, but I've gone through httpd.conf file and can't see what it is -- I'm an apache newbie though, so bear that in mind. Any ideas what might be happening?
