I'm having some issues how to build a website template with clean url's.
I have the following files and directories in my root:
.htaccess (redirects every call to a non-existing file or directory to index.php)
index.php
/includes which contains header.php and footer.php
/pages with the requested pages
/ajax
So, in my index.php I process the url like this:
$urlParts = explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
so i can include the page from the pages dir based on the first entry in $urlParts which represents the passed page.
SO far so good.
Now I'm a little stuck with ajax calls, because I use two kinds of calls offcourse, the get and post. Until now, I just calles ajax files with their full path, so for example /ajax/account/login.php But I want to make clean urls from all my ajax calls.
Now I have some questions about this: 1. when doing an ajax post, should I just let it pass my index.php and include the ajax file? Or is it overkill because I include the header.php and footer.php and therefore do an extra check in my index.php if it's an ajax file and not include the header.php and footer.php
- When doing an ajax get, it is offcourse also passed to index.php and with a select I parse the ajax url and do a php redirect to the corresponding php file
So an include for a post and a redirect for a get.
Is this a good way to build my template? I just want to check it here because I want to reuse is for some websites so it has to be good and solid :)
