Dynamic to Static URL [Mod_rewrite]

[ResaleBroker]

I would like to use a mod_rewrite to change certain dynamic URLs on my site to static.

I have read many of the threads on this topic but none give an example of the rewrite.

I have also searched the web and I couldn't get any of the proposed solutions to work.

An example of my current URL is:
http://www.azmultiplelistingservice.com/listings/listingview.php?listingID=145

I would like it to look something like this:
http://www.azmultiplelistingservice.com/listings/listingview-145

Can anyone help?

taken from live site ....nix system

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^who-flies-where-(.*)-(.*).htm$ europe-who-flies-where.htm?ww_from=$1&ww_to=$2

changes /europe-who-flies-where.htm?ww_from=lon&ww_to=spain

/who-flies-where-lon-spain.htm

but resolves it to the original so no code change...

Here is my latest attempt.

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks +MultiViews
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^listingview.php?listingID=([A-Z0-9]+) listing-$1

The setting up of the static html URL is not that difficult, but what I have had problems with in the past is then implementing it on to the website, so that the spiders, and visitors to the website only see the html not php Url's on links etc.

[ResaleBroker]

I don't mind the php URL's. I'm wanting to make the dynamic URL more spider friendly by removing the [?] and the [ID] from the URL.

Still looking for a solution.

Bueler?

This does it:

RewriteRule ^listingview-([0-9]*).html listingview.php?listingID=$1

Hi ResaleBroker

Will have to wait for this one as there is some work to get this to work 100%.

Ah found it

RewriteEngine on
# Redirect internally
# listingview/1/ to listingview.php?listingID=1
# I added the rewrite=yes in the query string
# this is a trick to avoid an infinite loop

RewriteRule ^listingview/([0-9]+)/?$ listingview.php?listingID=$1&rewrite=yes [NC,L]

# remove sessions from site
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html

php_flag register_globals On
php_flag track_vars On

# I added the rewrite=yes in the query string

This works: RewriteRule ^listingview-([0-9]*).html listingview.php?listingID=$1&rewrite=yes [NC,L]

This doesn't work: RewriteRule ^listingview/([0-9]+)/?$ listingview.php?listingID=$1&rewrite=yes [NC,L]

Thank You!

#php.ini configuration
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
</IfModule>I have this already in my htaccess file as: php_value session.use_trans_sid 0. I'm assuming the <IfModule...etc aren't necessary, right?

php_flag display_errors Off
php_flag track_vars OnMy program is working fine right now. Is this something I should also check? What are these for? They look like something I would find in the php info file but I didn't find them there.

Hi

""I have this already in my htaccess file as: php_value session.use_trans_sid 0.""

this code is so the sessions do not show up .

""#php.ini configuration
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
</IfModule>""

this is for if your php.ini does not have it or your cpanel is not setup.

post the link to your site i will check it out for you.

Hi Al,
I saw this over at the OP forum.

Should I be using this too?

setcookie("int", 123, time()+86400*365);
if ($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[int] == 123)
{
session_start();
}
else if ($_COOKIE[int] == 123) //you can change this but it depends on which version of PHP you have installed as to which one works.
{
session_start();
}
session_register("session");

I just want to make sure there are no Session IDs.

[awddesign]

Hi

Just add this to the .htaccess file

#
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
#

I think thats what does the trick
