Change URL

[Dysan]

Hi, Upon a user registering on my, send them an confirmation email containing an activation link. Until the user clicks this link, the user's account is inactive.

The links contained in the email follows the following format:

http://localhost/activate.php?code=g45f5f4g5df65df4g

How do I change format to this?

http://localhost/g45f5f4g5df65df4g

Many Thanks,

Dysan

I would suggest not doing exactly that because your rewrite rule would require you to capture every page request (including index.php, register.php, etc.). Instead I would use the type of system Zend Framework uses:

http://localhost/activate/g45f5f4g5df65df4g

Then you can use a rewrite rule to say:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^activate/(.*) activate.php?code=$1

That should redirect you. Note that it may not keep the URL the same (I make no guarantees).

Hope that helps.
