PHP List,
This problem is a little hard to describe. Please forgive me in advance
if it's not clear.
I have set up my .htaccess file to work with my PHP script to create
"friendly URLs".
For example, the URL mysite.com/user/login will take the user to a page
where a user logs in.
It does this by stripping everything out except "user" and "login". It
takes "user" and creates a "user" object, and then passes a "login"
method to that class to take the user to the login page.
Somehow, in this process, the local URL is becoming "mysite/user", even
though I'm just using that "user" designation to drive the creation of
objects from classes.
So, for example, I have a link to logout which is simply href="user/logout".
But when I mouse over it, and look at the status bar at the bottom of my
FireFox browser window, it says that the link points to:
mysite.com/user/user/logout
That URL, obviously, doesn't work for my system. It tries to make a
"User" object and call a "user" method which doesn't exist.
So... my question is, why is the /user portion of my URL being retained
as a directory?
I thought it had something to do with setting headers. I want everything
to operate through the index.php file in my root directory, so I thought
I could do that by putting this at the top of the index.php page:
header("Location: /");
Or:
header("/local/server/www/directory/");
Bottom line is, how do I ensure that all links and user requests through
the URL end up going to the index.php in my web site's root directory?
I hope this question is clear enough, and thank you for any and all advice.
