Problems with the url on Blog pages.

[Archiie]

Hello,

I've got this problem which is;

My url on my blog is:

http://example.COM/blog.php?page=3

Is there any way to make it
( http://example.COM/blog.php/page/3 )

This is the code I use.

<?php
if($page <= $page_count && $page > 1 && $page != 2){
$next = $page-1;
echo ' <a href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?page=' . $next . '"><img border="0" id=\'forgaende\'
src="http://example.com/forgaende2.png"
onmouseover = \'document.getElementById("forgaende").src = "http://example.com/forgaende1.png"\'
onmouseout = \'document.getElementById("forgaende").src = "http://example.com/forgaende2.png"\'
></a> ';
}
if($page == 2){
echo ' <a href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. '"><img border="0" id=\'forgaende\'
src="http://example.com/forgaende2.png"
onmouseover = \'document.getElementById("forgaende").src = "http://example.com/forgaende1.png"\'
onmouseout = \'document.getElementById("forgaende").src = "http://example.com/forgaende2.png"\'
></a> ';
}
?>
</td><td align="right">
<?php

if($page < $page_count){
$next = $page+1;
echo ' <a href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?page=' . $next . '"><img border="0" id=\'next\'
src="http://example.com/next2.png"
onmouseover = \'document.getElementById("next").src = "http://example.com/next1.png"\'
onmouseout = \'document.getElementById("next").src = "http://example.com/next2.png"\'
></a></a> ';
}

?>

- It's a simple (paging) but I would like it to become like the url I mentioned above.

Thanks,
Archiie

My url on my blog is:
{blahblah}
Is there any way to make it
{blahblah}

You need to start by getting a firm grip on what you are doing. Afterward you can figure out the mechanics of how to do it.

If you're building your pages via php, it's safe to assume there is little-or-no relationship between the URL of a page and its physical filename. There may not even be a physical file.

Now, admittedly I only speak about three words of php, but I don't see the connection between the quoted code-- which seems to be entirely concerned with image files-- and pages. Unless your cat stepped on the keyboard and all those .png extensions are supposed to be .php

If you want your url to be
example.com/nicepage/3
then use that form in all your links. A quick line in htaccess-- or IIS equivalent-- will then rewrite it to something along the lines of blahblah.php?page=nicepage&number=3. And then your php takes over and makes the page, just the way it's already doing. Except that if one of the things your php does is make links, you have to be sure it's making them in the "nicepage/3" form.

The form
example.com/blog.php/page/3
is one of those weird neither-fish-nor-fowl URLs. If the object is to make it pretty and get rid of the query string, why not dump the ".php" too? It's not doing anything; as long as you're rewriting to something with a query string, your rewrite can perfectly well include tacking on a ".php" that isn't in the URL.

Lucy24, i'm sorry for not making it clear enough. Btw the .PNG files are images that are reffering to "Next or Prev page".

And how do I get rid of the ".php" in the url?

[lucy24]

You can't "get rid of" something in an URL. You have to pick your preferred form and use it in the first place. If there's a request for the wrong form, redirect it. Then, when you get a request for "prettyfilename", rewrite to "uglyfilename.php?long-complicated-query".

The rewriting isn't done in php. (The redirect can be, though it usually isn't.) It has to happen in htaccess-- or, again, IIS equivalent-- before the request ever reaches your php file.

It is probably easier if you first explain in English, without code of any kind, what you want to do and what you want the human user to see.

Well, he's generating the HTML code here so the ".php" needs to be stripped out of the URL the PHP is writing.

You need something like this:
$url=str_replace ( ".php", "" , $url );

Then of course you need Apache rewrite rules to convert from no extension to .PHP
