Mod Rewrite with POST

Hi,

I have to list menus with date in both, what i want to do is when the user select data from them both and hits search i want it to come back with a url like this:

www.website.com/post[list1]/post[list2]/

How would i do this?

Cheers,
Adam

 

hI
you will need to write javascript which will change values of hidden fields(whatever maximum number of options in menu)

just using javascript pass the data to hidden fields



then the form will take the user to url like this

www.website.com/abc.php?p1=aaaaa&p2=bbbbb

then using mod rewrite you can convert this to desired url which will be translated to above url

I get what you mean, How would i go about this though as i have never used javascript in this way before.

I assume it would be something like this:

<select name="service" id="service" onchange="changethis(name)>
<option value="Test" selected="Test">Test</option>

<select name="service2" id="service2" onchange="changethis(name)>
<option value="Test" selected="Test">Test</option>

<a href="http://www.website.com/updatevaluehere/updatesecondvaluehere/"><img src="image.jpg"></a>

Can anyone help me with this one?

 

What you could do is use some sort of intermediate page, like this:

<form action="search.php" method="post">
<input name="service" type="text" />
<input name="service2" type="text" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

PHP:

search.php:

<?php

header('Location: /search/' . urlencode($_POST['service']) . '/' . urlencode($_POST['service2']) . '/');

?>

PHP:

Haven't tested that either and it'll probably end up more complicated than that but it's an idea. Then you'll just need mod_rewrite to access the page above

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/search/([a-z0-9]+)/([a-z0-9]+)/?$ searchresults.php?service1=$1&service2=$2

PHP:

^^ Take that with a grain of salt
