URL Rewriting in php .htaccess

Use the .htaccess file from a standard Wordpress install to redirect everything to one PHP file. Something like this...

URL Rewriting: “index.php?id=5” to “home.html”


mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On # Base is the URL path of the home directory

RewriteBase /

 RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L] 

# Skip real files and directories

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 

RewriteRule .* /index.php [L] 


Then use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to figure out what the user was looking for. Modify the .* if you want to make the rule more specific, like .*\.html.




After using Renesis's rewrite rule, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] will be equal to 'home.html'.
Try something like:

// clean

$page = mysql_real_escape_string($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

// make query

$query = sprintf("select Page.* from Page where name = '%s'", $page);

// find page ID

if($result = mysql_query($query)){

  $page = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

  echo "

", print_r($page, true), "

";

}

POSSIBLE OUTPUT
Array (
  [id]    => 5
  [name]  => 'home.html'
)
