Basically what the title says. I'm working on a project that does not involve classes and I would like to implement htaccess and mod rewrite to create pretty url's. Here are a few examples of what I want to be able to route. My file and directory structure is laid out below as well.
/root
- index.php (bootstrap)
/template
/sources
/forums
-threads.source.php
-discussions.source.php
-post.source.php
-index.source.php
//
- members.source.php (functions for register, login, etc)
- index.source.php
http://localhost/myapp/members/register -> sources/members.source.php register function
http://localhost/myapp/ -> sources/index.source.php
http://localhost/myapp/forums/threads/Some-Cool-Thread/0001 -> sources/forums/threads.source.php view function
http://localhost/myapp/forums/ ->sources/forums/index.source.php
I hope this makes sense to you. By the way: I am using .source.php as file names because I will also have template files that will use, for example, members.template.php
EDIT: I have already made my .htaccess file and have also gotten the URI string in my index file. I have a bit that validates the uri segment characters. Here's my .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*?) index.php
Here is my index file:
<?php
session_start();
require_once('config.php');
global $config;
date_default_timezone_set($config['server']['default_timezone']);
define('DOC_ROOT', dirname(__FILE__));
if(!mysql_connect($config['db']['server'], $config['db']['user'], $config['db']['pass'])){
die('System Failure: Could not connect to the requested database server. It may be down or it may be too busy! Please check back later.');
} else if(!mysql_select_db($config['db']['name'])){
die('System Failure: Could not connect to the requested database server. It may be down or it may be too busy! Please check back later.');
} else {
$uri_segments = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$uri_segments = str_replace('/Base%20Command/', '', $uri_segments);
$uri_segments = explode('/', $uri_segments);
foreach($uri_segments as $segment){
if(!preg_match('^[a-z0-9_-]^', $segment)){
die('Could not accept provied URI string... the string contains invalid characters.');
}
}
if(file_exists(DOC_ROOT.'/sources/global.source.php')){
require_once(DOC_ROOT.'/sources/global.source.php');
}
if(file_exists(DOC_ROOT.'/template/global.template.php')){
require_once(DOC_ROOT.'/template/global.template.php');
if(function_exists('html_header')){
$output = html_header();
if(file_exists(DOC_ROOT.'/template/'.$source.'.template.php')){
require_once(DOC_ROOT.'/template/'.$source.'.template.php');
if(function_exists($action)){
$output .= $action();
} else {
$output .= Error404();
}
} else {
$output .= Error404();
}
if(function_exists('html_footer')){
$output .= html_footer();
}
} else {
$output = 'System Failure: Certain template files did not load correctly.';
}
echo $output;
}
}
?>
Basically what I need to do is to find a way to efficiently come up with values for the source and action variables.
