Rewrite Assistance

Hey all,

I have the following rewrite rule in my .htaccess file of which works fine in order to produce my friendly urls:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^robots\.txt$
RewriteRule ^(vets)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+) /index.php?p=$1/$2 [L]

The problem is I have all the files located in a folder called /foo/contact.php

The files are called from my index.php at the web root.

The only issue here is that the web address is displayed as such:

http://www.mywebsite/foo/contact

My question is how can I get it to be displayed like the following:

http://www.mywebsite/contact

here is a snippet of my index.php

<?php



$page = isset($_GET['p']) ? $_GET['p'] : 'foo/home';



switch($page) {

My question is how can I get it to be displayed like the following:

http://www.mywebsite/contact

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+) /index.php?p=$1 [L]

$page = isset($_GET['p']) ? 'foo/' . $_GET['p'] : 'foo/home';

Ok I changed the items above but still no joy. I failed to display the later half of my index file which is:

case 'foo/offers':  

$title = 'Great title'; 

$keyword = 'offers';

$description = 'This is my description.';

include('includes/header.php');

include(''.$page.'.php');

include('includes/sidebar.php');

include('includes/footer.php');

After checking the source code in the browser. It doesnt seem to be pulling the page located in the directory foo/offers

Any other suggestion?

It doesn't seem to be pulling the page located in the directory foo/offers

I don't know what you mean by that.

Is "offers" another directory inside of foo?

If it is another directory how does the system know which file to "include"?

If offers is a page (offers.php) are you saying it is another include that would also load when contact.php is loaded?

If you have another value that you wish to pass in the url just add another rewrite rule with another regex statement

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+) /index.php?p=$1&v=$2 [L]

Hi,

Inside the foo directory I have only files:

offers.php
contact.php etc etc

when the includes load I want it to also load offers.php which has the main content.

Maybe I am misunderstanding but if you always want the offers.php to load you just

include('offers.php');

where you want it to be displayed. There is no need to worry about what the url is passing for a variable.

Now, if some pages should have offers.php load but other pages not You need to figure out how that is to be conveyed. Simplest is to have the include in only those pages that need it. Otherwise you will have to pass "offers" as a second variable in the url.
