Url Manipulation?

[attila2452]

ok so here is an example of what i am trying to do.http://cityandcolour.ca/home/when you navigate through that website, instead of theending saying ?page=home it uses slashes for the url.how do i do what !

looks like they just have a bunch of folders... when you see ...ca/home/you are actually seeing ...ca/home/index.html (or .php)

That is possible, but it's more probable that they're using server-side technology to rewrite the URL. It's much easier to manage than folders for every page. Search for mod_rewrite to find more information.

ok there is a tutorial on CSS-tricks and this is what the guy used (the tutorial that was used was not about this!)

<?php   $page = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];   $page = str_replace("/" , "", $page);   $page = str_replace(".php" , "" , $page);   $page = str_replace("?s=" , "" , $page);   $page = $page ? $page : 'default'?>

but it doesn't seem to work for me. im going to keep searching but im looking for something relatively like this.

That's the PATH_INFO method - mod_rewrite is more flexible. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html
