PHP - Compare Two Urls (newby To Php)

Hi all,

I am looking a developing a script that instead of using something like mysite.com/showproduct.php?id=1 I would like it to appear as mysite.com/php-editor

Is their a simple way of doing this? I would still need to pull info from a database so the page would still need to be dynamic, I just want it to appear static!

I am used to using the get id function of php, what would the workaround be? would the id be hidden from the url but still usable in a query?

I have had a look at the apache mod_rewrite, but quite frankly, I dont understand it!

Cheers

Hei,
please can anyone help me? I guess it's done with if function - i can be wrong too. :/ I want to get about the same "step by step" stuff.. Look example: http://p6lva.eu/site/realinfo.php

 I tried by my own, but I failed too much :

<?php
$nick = $_GET['nick'];
$server = $_GET['server'];
$teenus = $_GET['teenus'];

if (!empty($nick) && $server === null) {
echo "<center>Choose server:<br><br>\n
<a href='realinfo.php?server=1&nick=$nick' style='text-decoration: none;'><button style='width: 250px; text-align: left;'><center>\n
Server 1</center></button></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</center>";
}
else {
echo "";
}
if (!empty($server) && $teenus === null) {
include "service1.php";
}
else {
        echo "show frontpage";
}

if (!empty($teenus)) {
if ($teenus === vip && $server === 1) {
include "vip.php";
}
if ($teenus === admin && $server === 1) {
include "admin.php";
}
}
else {
 echo "You must choose service!!! Or this service doesnt in our database!!!";
}
if (isset($nick) || isset($server) || isset($teenus)) { // if not added one of the values - like $server, $nick or $teenus then show frontpage
echo "";
}
else {
include 'frontpage.php';
}
?>


HELP

Ok so this is what I am looking for and I cannot seem to find any documentation on it!

I have some html files which I want to call up by using the following:

engine.php?id=?

with the questionmark being 1,2,3,4,5,6, etc... where each number is a different HTML page, I just want it to look a little cleaner then if I just have it redirect to each page itself I mean come on what looks better:

http://localhost/engine.php?id=1 <------
http://localhost/home.html

Any guidance is welcome.

Thanks,
Drew

Hi,

I've inherited a website with a problem! Basically the site runs pommo mailing list, which has worked fine for years. Recently though the website domain name changed. Since then - or at least at a similar time - pommo has just stopped working completely. It does nothing but outputs blank pages.

I've never done any php development so I've no idea where to start in terms of debugging this. I've checked that the files etc all exist on the server: they do. I've uploaded a test html page which works. I've uploaded a test php page containing: <?php phpinfo( ); ?> and it works. But when I visit any  page in the pommo application, the browser just renders a totally empty white page - no source HTML at all, just nothing!

Can anyone suggest how to debug this? Even an error message would be somewhere to start.

Thanks all!
