[users@httpd] mod rewrite
Hello,
Is it possible to redirect all site-wide php file requests to a single script? Is it possible to set this up as the root of the site?
For example, if someone types:
http://localhost/test.php
a script that I specify gets called?
We're moving a lot of pages into a database and will achieve a number of benefits in the process. Unfortunately, one drawback is that we lose previous naming conventions and end up with odd URLs.
In other words, we end up going from
http://localhost/TheSuperStory.php
to
http://localhost/view.php?ID=234
One idea is to have all php file requests go to a specific script and have it load documents. The script could then do a search in the database for the file name and display the proper document.
I'm not sure if I'm making sense here, but the script would process the url
http://localhost/TheSuperStory.php
and search the database for an article titled TheSuperStory and display it from the database.
To play devil's advocate here... would that be too much over head for mod_rewrite, php, and mysql just for loading a page from the database?
Thanks,
-Ed

I'd guess something like
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ /view.php?arg=$1 [PT]
should work
Bye, Andrea

What about something like (note: untested):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/view.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ /view.php?file=$1.php [NC,PT,QSA]
If you'r using a case insensitive file system, put a [NC] at the end of the rewrite condition as well.

Probably not. It's not uncommon to use rewrite rules to "hide" the fact that pages are loaded through a script or application.
