Question

I’m creating a website for a client, who would like NOT to use Drupal, but would like a Drupal-style mod rewrite (friendly url) feature on their website.

Having never created my own mod_rewrite engine before, are there any handy hints or tips you can give me? The CMS is totally created by me, and it would be nice to offer this feature, so if you could help, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Add that to your htaccess

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/?argv=$1 [L]

and index.php/?argv=mypage will becomes /mypage then furthermore a php snippet to get the URI into an array

if($_GET['argv']){
  $argc = count($argv);
  $myURI = explode('/',$_GET['argv']);
  $controller = ($argc < 0) ?: $myURI[0];
  $action = (argc > 1) ? $myURI[1] : 'index';
  $params = (argc < 2) ?: array_slice($myURI, 2);
}

That’s what I’m using on my mvc.
