[RESOLVED] $_get

[_theworks]

hey all and merry xmas,

was just wondering if it is possible to use $_GET to pass infomation through the URL which is desguised as folders kinda like this...

http://example.com/articles/03/04

instead of this...

http://example.com/articles/index.php?folder=03&article=04

hope this makes sense..

is it possible?

yea you can ! you dont need get or anything! basicly what you do this !

you dont need $_get here tho.

all you do is this you set location where it should go, then you redirect

first : http://example.com/articles/index.php?folder=03&article=04
then
header("Location: http://yourwebsite/$folder/$article");
just redirect . you see what i mean ?

ummm im not sure i get what your saying...

im trying to aviod using index.php?id=1 etc...

like say someone enters the url http://example.com/articles/css/positioning

i want it to then then pass the infomation /css/positioning to the script

http://example.com/articles/index.php

into a string. i assumed that $_GET would be a way to get that infomation from the URL but i dono

is this what your talking about?

Apache can do this for you rather than php.

The module is called mod_rewrite
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

(It depends on apache's configuration though whether you are allowed to use mod_rewrite.)
