PHP - Question About Urls

Hi,

What is the best way to change:

www.mysite.com/product.php?id=1&sort=2&cat=z

to:

www.mysite.com/1/product-name-here

I would need the other variables in the URL (sort & cat...) to also pass through to the new address. Is this an .htaccess change or via PHP code? Any help appreciated, 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?

Can someone help me to generate SEO friendly URLs?

I dont want my URLs to be presented like:
www.example.com/listprod.php?categ=1&subcateg=7

I want it to dynamically do the following:
www.example.com/listprod/cameras/slr

Hello!
First... I'm sorry about my english skills.. Seems that with my own language I don't get a correct or good answer
So.. I have a site where visitors can put there favorite links to other sites and show them to others.

My problem is multiple urls to same locations in sites-table.
example:
 http://google.com
 http://google.com/
 http://www.google.com
 http://www.google.com/
 http://www.google.com/index.php (?)
they all lead to same...

is there any light and powerfull way to check these? I'm trying to use query with "like" but it only works if there is exactly same url. I use fopen to check that url really exicst..

table:
Sites (basic information for link)
 -id
 -url
 -title
 +some meta tags if found
 -timestamp

I'm not asking to do me this code.
But if someone can tell me just what functions and others I'm looking for and what I need for this...

My coal is to keep sites-table as clean as it can be.
If visitor adds a url that is already in sites-table only thing that happens is updating timestamp.

Thank you all for helping me!

Say my URL is http://www.example.com/catalog.php?category=hats&prodID=53

and I use Mod-rewrite to make it http://www.example.com/catalog/hats/53/

Can I still use $_GET['category'] to get the parameters? If so, how?

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>

I would like to better understand relative and absolute paths when rewriting URLs.  My virtual host configuration is shown below.

I wish the server to see something like:

https://example.com?page=page1&controller=controller1&data1=123&data2=321

Given the rewrites as shown in my virtual host, what would be the proper URL in the browser?  One of these (note the ? and &), or something different?

https://example.com/page1/controller1?data1=123&data2=321
https://example.com/page1/controller1&data1=123&data2=321

Next, if I enter one of the URLs, how do relative paths to images, etc work?  Would the browser think it is in the root directory, or in /page1/controller1?  I had problems with relative paths, and changed to absolute paths, and it fixed the problem, but I wish to better understand what is happening.   On a side note, I would appreciate any critique of my virtual host configuration.  My goal is for all requests to example.com to redirect to https://example.com, for only https://example.com (no subdomain) to redirect to https://www.example.com, and do the rewriting of page and controller.   Thank you

I have a string containing long text, which contains urls in the form of example.com or www.domain.com (simple plain text, not html links). How I can delete all of them. I need a php regex to delete all terms containing ".com"
 

im sure i am missing something simple. but this is killing me.

i get this to work:
Code: [Select]
$url = (isset($_POST['url'])) ? $_POST['url'] : '';
$BlockedNames = array('nepwk', 'teleworm');
$BlockedDomains = array('nepwk.com', 'teleworm.com', 'yopmail.com', 'adf.ly', 'www.nepwk.com');
@list($name, $domain) = explode("http://", $url);



else if(in_array($name, $BlockedNames) || in_array($domain, $BlockedDomains)) {
$mesaj = "<div class=\"msg\"<div class=\"error\">Your URL has been blocked by our system!</div></div>";
}

now the above works if i type the whole domain for every single url i want to block

but i want to know is how would i add a catch all of sorts to the domain

so say the domain is: http://www.google.com
i want to block everything google so all of the following would be blocked as well
http://www.google.com/whatever
http://www.google.com/anything
http://www.google.com/something

i want all of those to be blocked automatically without having to add each individual one

im trying to block adf.ly links which change for each person and each url they mask and i want to take proactive measure to just block them from being added into my form instead of having them added to my database then having to go and manually delete them.

any questions or if this doesn't make sense let me know.

thanks in advance (and maybe this is bad code im a noob so go easy )

I am using seo friendly urls so when someone makes a post named "this is a post" the url will point to www.example.com/topic/this_is_a_post

But when the user enters a character in their post name that means something in a url(? /) it obviously breaks. How can i make the urls safe from this without str_replace as i want to keep the characters.

Rather than me have all my pages as domain.com/index.php?id=1 etc I would like to pull the id's title from the database to create the URL so that they will look like domain.com/this-is-the-page-name/

Wordpress does it exactly how I want i just need a nudge in the right direction.

Anyone know how to do it or now of a guide to help me.

Thanks

Hey guys!
I have a doubt and this is a question that relates Flash and PHP...

I have a flash (swf) file that grabs/sends variables from/to php.
That swf file is FULLY encrypted and the paths to the PHP urls are also encrypted.

Is there any other way a hacker could find out where and which my PHP files are located/named?

Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

Hello. 

Assuming that I have two variables:


$exURL=@$HTTP_REFERER;

$goodURL = 'http://www.SomeSite/login/';


How can I check if the two URLs match each other?

Regards

My goal was to create a constant that could be included on the pages, that no matter where it was located in the structure, would be able to find the template files, css, images, etc.  using the following code:

Code: [Select]
if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "localhost"){
    define('SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
    define('SITEPATH', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
    define('CSS', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/css/');
    define('IMAGES', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/');
}
else{
    define('SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
    define('SITEPATH', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
    define('TEMPLATE', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/incs/template/');
    define('CSS', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/css/');
    define('IMAGES', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/');
}

I put the above in a variables.php file that is in the includes folder (named incs) and I call it using the typical include statement.

The problem is that when I use the constant to grab the CSS file, its not working when using:

Code: [Select]
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo CSS . "template.css" ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

I can view the page source and it has the path right, but I cannot figure out how to get it to actually pull in the css file.  I know the echo command is not correct, at least I dont think it is, but have not been able to figure out any other way.

Also, is there a better way to define the constants to the file locations and have it automatically detect whether its on the test server or production and then be able to reference those locations no matter where it is in the structure?
