Alternative URL in PHP

Question

I’m having a hard time creating an alternative, more user-friendly URL for my customers.

The real estate system I have generates an alternative address for each of them, example: http://foo.bar/site.php?id=1042

However, I need the URL to be more user-friendly, that is, simple to memorize. Thinking about it I generated in the system the creation of URL for the type clients http://foo.bar/gladisonimoveis

But in this case, what I’d like is when you type http://foo.bar/gladisonimoveis was directed to http://foo.bar/site.php?id=1042 only it gives error 404, because there is a directory /gladisonimoveis only that creating a directory for each client is something very exhaustive.

A fellow programmer of mine said I can standardize this by once configuring in htaccess.

I’m waiting for help, please. Rss

Answer 1

Create a file named after .htaccess and put at the root of the site.

RewriteEngine on
Options +MultiViews

#pagina de errro
ErrorDocument 404  /404.php  

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

Create a condition to separate the strings from the URL and place them in the site header. (Or in the appropriate location)

Example:

//Obtem a URL
$aux = substr( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], strlen('/')); 
if( substr( $aux, -1) == '/'){ 
  $aux=substr( $aux, 0, -1); 
} 

//Separa a URL
$urlARRAY___ =explode( '/', $aux); 

$id  = mysqli_real_escape_string($conexao, $urlARRAY___[2]); 

substitute

http://foo.bar/site.php?id=1042

for

http://foo.bar/site/1042

Take a look at this following material:

Creating a PHP 5 mini-framework with MVC

Credits to Matheus Moura.

In this video is explained the access to URL through the method GET, in addition to its formatting through the use of controllers and actions. In the other classes, the creation of a framework is focused mainly on access to the database through the PDO.
