PHP - Help With Seo Friendly Urls

Hi everyone,   I am looking solution for my website timesinquiry.com which is a b2b website , i am looking solution to have seo friendly urls so , kindly send me the code .   Thanks and Regards  virpal singh 

Hi all,

Im sorry if this is in the wrong section.


But nonetheless, I use php to display my news:
I.e - news.php?id=1 that displays all the news on that id.



What I want to know is using php how can I get the URL from news.php?id=1 too something like /news/titleofthestory ?

Hope I've given enough detail.

Thanks!!

hey guys,   i need a little help on the best way to generate a seo friendly token...at the moment i use password_hash() with a peice of users information to create a key so that the user can verifiy account by a url sent via email.   now the problem i'm having with that is it contains forward slashes which is killer for my uri and not to mention all the other seo friendly characters it conatins.   how do i make the hash url friendly?...any advise would be great   thank you

Here's my search form:

    <form action="search" method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data">
      <input type="text" name="string" maxlength="100" /><br /><br />
      <input type="submit" value="Search" />
    </form>

When I submit it, the URL is search.php?string=Bleh

What I would like is for the URL to be search/string/Bleh

I'm already doing this with some other variables, like search/tag/Bleh and search/author/Bleh, instead of search.php?tag=Bleh and search.php?author=Bleh. However, those ones are passed via a link, not a form.

Any ideas?

Can anyone please help me with my code.
I would like to display the data from another column instead of the id in the url generated by the scirpt.

Code: [Select]
<?php
include('/home/arts/public_html/shows/includes/config.db.php');
if ($link){
$rpp = 10; // results per page
$adjacents = 4;
$page = intval($_GET["page"]);
if(!$page) $page = 1;

$reload = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

$sql = "select * from craft_shows WHERE venue_state='MD' order by start_date ";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

// count total number of appropriate listings:
$tcount = mysql_num_rows($result);
    $date = strftime("%b %d, %Y", strtotime($row['start_date']));

echo "<table class='table7' width='100%' cellpadding='5' cellspacing='1'>";
echo "<tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>Date</td><td>City</td><td>Show Name</td><td>Attendance</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td colspan='7'><hr></td></tr>";

// count number of pages:
$tpages = ($tcount) ? ceil($tcount/$rpp) : 1; // total pages, last page number
$date = strftime("%b %d, %Y", strtotime($row['start_date']));
$count = 0;
$i = ($page-1)*$rpp;
while(($count<$rpp) && ($i<$tcount)) {
mysql_data_seek($result,$i);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

     $id = $row['id'];
echo "<tr><td>";
    echo "<a href=\"/show_submits/show_detail.php?id=$id\">Details</a>";
echo "</td><td>";
echo strftime('%b %d, %Y', strtotime($row['start_date']));
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['venue_city'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['show_name'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['num_visitors'];
echo "</td></tr>";
$i++;
$count++;
}
echo "</table>";
echo "<br>";
// call pagination function:
include("pagination1.php");
echo paginate_one($reload, $page, $tpages, $adjacents);
}
?>

I don't usually post on "introduce yourself" type areas of forums. But I'm glad I found this place. It's nice to find a community not overrun by trolls and attitudes (ie, Stackoverflow). That's getting sadly rarer lately.   I've been writing/editing PHP for the past 8+ years now, but I still find things I've never done before. Hey, we can't know it all!   Before PHP, I mostly did ASP -- all the way back to my NT4 days.   I see a lot of hosting-related questions around here -- one of my areas of expertise -- so I think I'll stick around to help others.

Here is what I am trying to do.   Get from this http://mysite.com/po...&title=postname   to this http://mysite.com/post/12/postname/     here’s the rewrite rule.

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^post/([a-zA-Z]+)/([0-9]+)/$ post.php?id=$1&title=$2

This is my html link that links to the post.php page.

<a href="post.php?id=12&amp;title=postname">
	Click here to see the post!
</a> 

It does not change the url.      I have also tried it like below and it gives me an internal error.

<a href="post/12/postname">
	Click here to see the post!
</a> 

Can you see what I have done wrong?  Also if the above method for the linking is correct, how do I get the "id" and "title" using the $_GET?    

hey guys basically i have a form which searches my news


<form action="" method="GET">
<label for="search">Search: </label><input name="search" id="search" type="text" />
<input value="Search" type="submit" />
</form>


and im not sure the best way around this or if im going around this the right way but when i access

http://localhost/news/seach   (search form)

and press submit after entering a query i want the action to be

http://localhost/news/seach/search query value here

i hope ive explained well enough and someone could help me with this...thank you

OK, Here is the code

Here is the output, I added the TrialID & ClassID for informational purposes, they do not need to be displayed in the live table.

Below is what I would like to generate. How do I word or nest the proper PHP code/loops to accomplish this?

Hello,

Ive got many URLs like these which im trying to just get the name for example "Ace Lightning"

Quote

http://www.wupload.com/file/1374721/Ace Lightning # GBA.rar
http://www.wupload.com/file/1374722/Action Man - Robotatak # GBA.rar
http://www.wupload.com/file/1374726/Activision Anthology # GBA.rar
http://www.wupload.com/file/1374761/Advance Guardian Heroes # GBA.rar
http://www.wupload.com/file/1374764/Agassi Tennis Generation # GBA.rar



This is my code


Code: [Select]
<?php

if($_POST['newlinks']) {

    $newlinks = $_POST["newlinks"];
    $newlinks = preg_split("/.rar/", $newlinks);

    foreach ($newlinks as $newlink) {
    $r_name = substr("$newlink", 36, 100);   
    echo "<strong>Game Name: $r_name</strong> <br />";
    }
}
echo "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"index.php?page=mass-gba\">";
echo "<br /> <strong>Mass Add GBA ROMs</strong> <br />";
echo "<textarea rows=\"16\" name=\"newlinks\" cols=\"84\"></textarea>";
echo "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Mass Add GBA Links\" name=\"B1\">";
echo "</form>";
?>



This results are like this, I cant understand why it works for the first game but not the second or any after that.

Is their something I can do in PHP (like some sort of function/config/array etc...) which would make the following process easier (examples appreciated)...

I have an .htaccess file where im rewriting urls to seo friendly ones...now in the PHP script is their something I can place for urls are meant to be displayed/linked (like some sort of placeholder) which makes it easier for me to modify the urls within the PHP script, without constantly editing countless php sourcecode to just change the url?

Example scenario:

Say I had a php file (called submit.php):

<?php
echo 'Hey!
Thanks for submiting the form, <a href="submit.php?form">click here</a> to go back!';
?>

and my rewrite rule for submit.php?form was: /form

How would I easily change the url within submit.php without editing submit.php directly?

I would love to google my question, but I don't know how this is called....

I want to create URLs for each user of a site with this format:

www.mysite.com/user1

Facebook does this, for example. In a static page I'd do it with a folder and index file for each user, but that's not practical if you have too many users. Could you explain how this is done or at least how it is called so I can find myself something to read?

Thanks!!!

Hi All,

Currently, in my application, my links use index.php?id=14 (or whatever ID it is).  Should I somehow encrypt those so the exact ID is not known or is this OK?

Okay, i know there are lots of these questions out there and tons of ways to do this. I do have it working to replace URLs with <a href="URLs">URLs</a> but now i need some help detecting <a href=""></a> so the preg_replace will not double up the code and mess up the link.

here is my code so far.
Code: [Select]
<?php
echo 'COMMENTS<br /><br />';
  while($rows = mysql_fetch_array($comres)){
  list($comid, $menu_title, $post_id, $comdate, $comname, $comment) = $rows;
  $comment = nl2br($comment);
  $comment = preg_replace('/(http|https|ftp|ftps)\:\/\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(\/\S*)?/', '<a href="$0" target="_new">$0</a>', $comment);
  $comment = str_replace("&acute;", "'", $comment);
  $comdate = date("g:ia - M j, Y",strtotime("$comdate"));
  echo 'User: '.$comname.'<font color="#B20303"> - '.$comdate.'</font><br />';
  echo '&nbsp;&nbsp; - '.$comment.'<br /><br />';
  }
?>

so with this code, if someone commented a link like this

http://example.com

it will turn it this

<a href="http://example.com" target="_new">http://example.com</a>

but now if someone knew some basic HTML coding, and they used this

<a href="http://example.com">Example.com</a>

it will look like this...

<a href=<a href="http://example.com" target="_new">http://example.com</a>>Example.com</a>
