transform url path to exact path

netzverwalter

ok - sounds a little complicate - but i hope it isn't.

i am searching for the possibility to translate a url like
http://mydomain.com/winter to a path like
http://mydomain.com/index.php?modul=winter

so that i only have to use the modulname instead of an exact url.

any help would be very appreciatet!!!

thanks

Hmm.

Explain it one more time with a little more detail. You looking for code that will take

http://mydomain.com/index.php?modul=winter

and send you to here

http://mydomain.com/winter

netzverwalter

it should be ecaxtly the other way round:

someone types in: http://www.mydomain.com/winter in the browser

a script checks for the name "winter" (so far i have my script with parse_url ...)

but then: the script should assign this name to the correct site, like:

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?modul=winter

so that the browser shows this site

they got in on php.net - but i didn't find the explanation and also there was no reply to my request on this site.

on php.net you can ie type in: http://www.php.net/date in the adress line - the result is: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

i hope, my english was good enough, to explain my problem

thanks a lot

actually it can not be done with php.

but it can be done with mod_rewrite for apache.

thanks wave,

but i am not so sure - there was an explanation on php.net how they did it - and it was with php - but i can't find it anymore.

maybe someone knows where i can find the explanation on php.net

thanks

so, you can create some php code, like this

<?php
eregi("[a-zA-Z0-9_]+", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], $match);
$modul = $match[0];
header("Location:http://mydomain.com/index.php?modul=$modul");
exit;
?>

and put it to index files placed in appropiate directories

like this - http://mydomain.com/winter/index.php

url rewriting is more complex, but you no need to create dir for any module of your site...

it's up to you to decide what kind of headache you will to feel 🙂

there is a simple solution

just create .htaccess file with this code

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /(.*)/ /index.php?modul=$1 [R,NE]

and place it in root directory

(works only if you have mod_rewrite installed)

if you have not, you can try to use RedirectMatch instead, but there is a problem with ? sigh, and i can't find solution. 🙁
