Recommended Posts

Hey guys im looking for a simple way to simplify a URLi want to have a .php page load by grabing usename with $_Getbut i want the URL to look simpleSo right now the users have to type this to load there profile page:

http://www.mypostedresume.com/view.php?Username=coolshrimp

id like to make it simpler:

http://view.mypostedresume.com/coolshrimp

So I want them to be able to use subdomain "View" and then tailing tag be the username that .php grabs to load data.

how can i do this?

You can search for URL rewriting. How it's done depends on what software is running on your server and how it's configured.

 

Many servers use Apache in which you can use mod_rewrite directives in a .htaccess file in order to change the URL.

 

It's not easy, you have to be willing to learn something new.

Having issues getting this to work

 

iv setup subdomain "view" to point to the folder:view.mypostedresume.com/ points to same place as mypostedresume.comim using following in the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine onRewriteRule ^view.mypostedresume.com/(.+)$ view.mypostedresume.com/view.php?Username=$1 [L]

so if they visit:

http://view.mypostedresume.com/coolshrimp

they should see content from:

http://www.mypostedresume.com/view.php?Username=coolshrimp

Any one able to tell me what code will work for me?

 

I need 2 things:

 

Make Nice Easy URL to view userpages:

User Types in:view.mypostedresume.com/coolshrimpurl rewrite to:mypostedresume.com/view.php?Username=coolshrimp

If they try to visit:

view.mypostedresume.com/index.phpview.mypostedresume.com/contact.phpRedirect them back to non subdomain link:mypostedresume.com/contact.phpmypostedresume.com/index.php

you are telling to go to sub-domain again remove 'view.' from required rewritten url

 

RewriteEngine onRewriteRule ^view.mypostedresume.com/(.+)$ mypostedresume.com/view.php?Username=$1 [L]

 

tested here and seems to work http://martinmelin.se/rewrite-rule-tester/

 

thanks but does not seem to work for now im using.

RewriteEngine onRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ /view.php?Username=$1 [L,QSA]

so i can simply visit: http://mypostedresume.com/coolshrimpill worry about the "view" subdomain later.
