Need some help

Server Config
1

Hi everybody, I’m John
I’m working at a new gallery website and need some help to hide APP_ROOT from $url if it is posible.

This is the sourced code of my files:
include (‘…/appconfig/config_prezentare_galerie.php’);
/**

  • Return array of $_GET and $_POST data

  • @return array
    */
    function parse_params()
    {
    $params = array();

      if (ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc') == 1)
  {
  	  if (!empty($_POST))
      {
        $params = array_merge($params, stripslashes_deep($_POST));
      }
  		else
  		{
  			$params = array_merge($params, $_POST);
  		}
  
  }
  else
  		{
  			$params = array_merge($params, $_POST);
  		}

  if (ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc') == 1)
  {
  	  if (!empty($_GET))
      {
        $params = array_merge($params, stripslashes_deep($_GET));
      }
  		else
  		{
  			$params = array_merge($params, $_GET);
  		}
  
  }
  else
  		{
  			$params = array_merge($params, $_GET);
  		}
  return $params;

    }

    // strips out escape characters
    function stripslashes_deep($value)
    {
    $value = is_array($value) ? array_map(‘stripslashes_deep’, $value) : stripslashes($value);
    return $value;
    }

function dispatcher($routes)
{
// Requested URL
$url = $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’];
******** this i want to remove from URL also, not only from my $routes
// Removes Apllication root from url
$url = str_replace(‘/’.APP_ROOT.‘/’, ‘’, $url);

	// holds the named captures, $_POST data
  $params = parse_params();
	
	// Removes query string from $url we don't need it anymore affect routes.
	// nu va mai intra in paternul de comparare a $url
	$url = str_replace('?'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], '', $url);
	
	//  becomes true if $route['url'] matches $url
  $route_match = false;	

	// loops over $routes looking for a match
	foreach($routes as $urls => $route)
  {
		// if match found appends $matches to $params
		// sets $route_match to true and also exits loop.
	  if(preg_match($route['url'], $url, $matches))
	  {
		  $params = array_merge($params, $matches);
		  $route_match = true;
	    	break;
	  }
  }
	
	// if no route matched display error
	if(!$route_match) {
	
	
   redirect_to('error404');
  //redirect_to('prezentare');
	exit();
	// exit('<p><h4>Warning: no route found!</h4></p>'.'<p><a href="'.WEBSITE.APP_ROOT.'">Inapoi</a></p>');
	
	}

The above code is for my routing urls and the next code it’s for my preg_match patterns:

$routes = array(
// pagina

array(‘url’ => ‘/^prezentare\/(?P<id>\d+)$/’, ‘controller’ => ‘prezentare’, ‘view’ => ‘show’),
array(‘url’ => ‘/^prezentare\/(?P<id>\d+)\/edit$/’, ‘controller’ => ‘prezentare’, ‘view’ => ‘edit’),
array(‘url’ => ‘/^prezentare\/new$/’, ‘controller’ => ‘prezentare’, ‘view’ => ‘new’),
array(‘url’ => ‘/^prezentare\/create$/’, ‘controller’ => ‘prezentare’, ‘view’ => ‘create’),
array(‘url’ => ‘/^prezentare\/(?P<id>\d+)\/edit$/’, ‘controller’ => ‘prezentare’, ‘view’ => ‘edit’),
array(‘url’ => ‘/^prezentare\/(?P<id>\d+)\/update$/’, ‘controller’ => ‘prezentare’, ‘view’ => ‘update’),
array(‘url’ => ‘/^prezentare\/(?P<id>\d+)\/delete$/’, ‘controller’ => ‘prezentare’, ‘view’ => ‘delete’),
// homepage+ paginate
array(‘url’ => ‘/^(prezentare)?\/?(page\/)?(?P<page>\d?)$/’, ‘controller’ => ‘prezentare’, ‘view’ => ‘index’),
… and so on…
);

All I want in the final URL to not look like this “http://localhost/[B]sablonprezentare[/B]/page/1” and to look just like this “http://localhost/page/1”. The bolded word from url it came from:
define(‘APP_ROOT’, ‘sablonprezentare’);

// address of website.
define('WEBSITE', 'http://localhost/');

Any help would be appreciate.
Regards.

You’re talking about hiding it from the browser? AKA a URL rewrite? Would be an apache question moreso than a PHP one…

Thank you I’ll try to find some htaccess rule or you can write me one to not affect this rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule !(\.gif|\.png|\.jpe?g|\.css|\.js|\.php|^public/.*)$ index.php [nocase,last]
?

Hi,

Please have a look at dklynn’s tutorial on mod_rewrite. This can help you write your own rule. If you are managing the volume of code in PHP that you have shown then you should be able to transfer some of your knowledge to learning about mod_rewrite.
