URL Friendly by title

Question

Good night people,

I am here implementing the URL friendly system on a website and I have already working for some pages, I am now locked in the ver_establishment file that and what shows the establishments in this case I have for example an establishment to list like this http://exemplo.pt/ver_estabelecimento&id=1 what I intend and replace by http://exemplo.pt/nome_do_estabelecimento where the establishment name field will come from the database.

I have the . htaccess file matched like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?m=$1

And I have my file functions.php which is where I have the rules to embed the pages and show the content my problem is here

$url = $_GET['m'];
$urlSepara = explode('/',$url);

$primeiraUrl = $urlSepara[0];
$directorio = ("conteudos");

$permissao = array('home', 'comer', 'dormir', 'comprar', 'servicos', 'lazer', 'visitar', 'contactos', 'login', 'erro');

if(!isset($primeiraUrl) || $primeiraUrl == ''){
    include("conteudos/home.php");
}elseif(isset($primeiraUrl) && in_array($primeiraUrl, $permissao)){
    include("".$directorio."/".$primeiraUrl.".php");
}

I’d appreciate your help

It may be that your 'problem' is more a project issue.

Note that your permission array does not form combinations, with this you need to get the 1st bar that corresponds to a file that will scan bar by bar with a series of if’s.

$permissao = array( 'home' , 'comer' , 'dormir' , '...' );

if(!isset($primeiraUrl) || $primeiraUrl == ''){
    include("conteudos/home.php");
}elseif(isset($primeiraUrl) && in_array($primeiraUrl, $permissao)){
    include("".$directorio."/".$primeiraUrl.".php");
}

This form is very poorly flexible, the ideal is to create a config file that abstracts the routes and a file to validate.

If the URL is http://exemplo.pt/empresa-x, then your variable $primeiraUrl will have the value of enterprise-x, and this is outside its rules in the array $permissao.

A solution that would solve your problem would be to treat the exception as an ad page. Thus, the URL’s http://exemplo.pt/qualquer-nome-de-empresa will be accepted and it will be up to the system to check whether the ad was found or not, and will continue to work for the other URL’s you have, like http://exemplo.pt/comer/, http://exemplo.pt/dormir/.

_solution

if( ! isset( $primeiraUrl ) || $primeiraUrl == '' ) {
    include 'conteudos/home.php';
} elseif( in_array( $primeiraUrl , $permissao ) ) {
    include "{$directorio}/{$primeiraUrl}.php";
} else {
    // $primeiraUrl não está no array, posso SUPOR que seja um anuncio
    // include no arquivo que carrega o anuncio
    // include 'anuncio.php';
}

_{advertising.php}

Verifica no DB se `$primeiraUrl` corresponde a algum anúncio
caso contrário, você apresenta sua mensagem de erro.404

_{OBS, This solves the problem, but it’s not ideal. I recommend looking for routes in PHP}

Doing the routing by .HTACCESS, you would have to define all possible routes, including the order, as in the example below.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# http://exemplo.pt/comer/
RewriteRule ^comer\/$                    index.php?controller=comer&option=index        [QSA,L]

# http://exemplo.pt/comer/camarao/
RewriteRule ^comer\/([a-zA-Z-0-9-_]+)\/  index.php?controller=comer&option=tipo&tipo=$1 [QSA,L]

# http://exemplo.pt/restaurante-do-joao/
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z-0-9-_]+)\.html     index.php?controller=anuncio&option=$1         [QSA,L]

The advantage will be that you will not need PHP to combine the possible routes, combining input and output. You will receive via GET the ready parameters.

Note that I alluded to an MVC-based system. Not being your case, then, controller represents a physical file that will work with the option. Everything will start by index.php, then a superficial example would be:

---

To the input URL http://exemplo.pt/comer/restaurante-do-joao/, you will have

$_GET['controller'] = 'anuncio'
$_GET['option']     = 'restaurante-do-joao'

In his index php. you do the proper checks - which I omitted - and have the corresponding file uploaded to the controller:

//include anuncio.php
include $_GET['controller'] . 'php';

In the case of the example, it will be loaded advertising.php, and in it you use $_GET['option'] to find the company name.
