PHP List,
My goal is to create user and search engine friendly URLs like:
mysite.com/my_web_page_title
Instead of:
mysite.com/index.php?pageID=1
I asked about this before:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=113597988027012&w=2
And there is this helpful tutorial:
http://agachi.name/weblog/archives/2005/01/30/rewriting-dynamic-urls-into-friendly-urls.htm
Both of which refer to a variable called $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'].
But, in the php.net manual, in the predefined variables page,
'PATH_INFO' is only obliquely referenced in the $_SERVER variable
description, under the 'PATH_TRANSLATED' element.
When I've tried echoing out the contents of $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], I get
nothing.
I'm trying to set it so that pages are named according to their title in
my MySQL database. So my script will pull "my_web_page_title" out of the
URL, match that against the database, and then display the appropriate
contents.
I thought I could do this by simply making my link into:
<a href="index.php/my_web_page_title">My Web Page Title</a>
And then stripping out the "index.php", and using the remainder for
both the URL and the database lookup.
But, while I'm sure there are more steps than that, I'm halted initially
because I'm not sure where in the $_SERVER array my URL is being stored.
Any advice on how to proceed here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
