GET Request Problem

PHP
1

Hi Guys,

I’m not sure if this is an .htaccess problem or my php, i have my site pages rewritten like:


Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule contact-us contact-us.php?
RewriteRule home index.php?
RewriteRule login login.php?
RewriteRule privacy-policy privacy-policy.php?
RewriteRule shopping-cart shopping-cart.php?
RewriteRule sitemap sitemap.php?
RewriteRule terms-of-service terms-of-service.php?

On my cart page i was trying to remove items, normally i would do: shopping-cart.php?action=remove, i assume because i have rewritten the URLs i don’t have access to the $_GET so i tried shopping-cart/?action-remove but no luck

any help would be appreciated

thanks guys

  1. Remove the question marks at the end of the RewriteRule
  2. Append [L,QSA] to each RewriteRule (Last, Query String Append)

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule contact-us contact-us.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule home index.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule login login.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule privacy-policy privacy-policy.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule shopping-cart shopping-cart.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule sitemap sitemap.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule terms-of-service terms-of-service.php [L,QSA]

Alternatively you can do it like this


RewriteRule ^(contact-us|home|login|privacy-policy|shopping-cart|sitemap|terms-of-service)$ $1.php [L,QSA]

Hi Scallio,

Thanks for that, i ammended the rewrite code, and i put:


					<?php
					if (isset($_GET['action']))
					{
					 print "set";
					} else {
					 print "not set";
					}
					?>

Just above the cart code for testing purposes the button looks like:


          <td width="1" height="10" bgcolor="#6c6c6c"></td>
          <td width="10"></td>
          <td width="50" align="center"><a href="../shopping-cart?action=remove" onclick="removeBasketProd('SAM-BD5300');refresh();"><img src="../images/basket_removeItem.gif" width="20" height="20" border="0" alt="Remove item from basket" /></a></td>
          
          <td width="10"></td>
        <td width="20">

i have tried:

shopping-cart?action=remove
shopping-cart.php?action=remove

I can’t get the isset to set for some reason.

thanks mate

I noticed if i paste “shopping-cart/?action=remove” manually in the url it works like it should, but it doesn’t seem to work when i press the html button below:


          <td width="1" height="10" bgcolor="#6c6c6c"></td>
          <td width="10"></td>
          <td width="50" align="center"><a href="../shopping-cart/?action=remove" onclick="removeBasketProd('SAM-BD5300');refresh();"><img src="../images/basket_removeItem.gif" width="20" height="20" border="0" alt="Remove item from basket" /></a></td>

it just reloads the page like it is working but doesn’t set anything.

cheers

  1. The link in your <a> is to …/shopping-cart, is that correct?
  2. The <a> also fires some javascript when you click it, that could also have something to do with it
