SE Friendly URLS

[retired_member6]

Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough, I found something on sitepoint but I'm stille none the wiser, is there an easy way of turning id php into a descriptive url.

Hi Lee

Are you look for SEF URLs for a site you use a opensource script on or a custom made site?

If your using a opensource script, its likely someone has already done the coding (inc .htaccess before) if its a custom script its a little trickier.

It could be as simple as using this tool:

http://www.mod-rewrite-wizard.com/

but you'll be very lucky if it is!

Perhaps a job for rentacoder or the like?

Hi Lee,

you still looking for help ?

pm me the full details ie script url variables & example of the string ie
index.ph?a=77784&max=500 etc etc

also how you want the string split up
ie ..

index.php?page=printers&cat=1&man=3
could be something like domain.com/printers/laser/HP

and i'll see what i can do

I use these 2 gems:

If it is a straight forward swap from .php to .html you want:

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php [nc]

If you are running via a front controller (ie ) index.php?page=keyword:

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ index.php?page=$1 [nc]

Hope that helps
