[PHP] Best Practice to Create Dynamic URL's- With Username

[Gaurav Kumar]

Hi All,

I am creating a social networking website. I want that every user should
have there own profile page with a static URL like-

http://www.abcnetwork/user/username

Where username will be dynamic userid or something else.

This is something very similar to www.youtube.com/user/kumargauravmail (this
is my profile page).

So what should be the best practice to create such DYNAMIC URL's OR what
kind of methodology youtube is following?

Thanks in Advance.

Assuming the 'username' is from DB, look into URL rewrite. Thus, client see this

http://www.abcnetwork/user/username

which translates into this  (or something similar) to PHP

http://www.abcnetwork/userProfile.php?user=username

Of course, you'll need to handle the 404 just in case ;)

Tommy

If you're working on an Apache server, your best bet is to look at
mod_rewrite. You can write a simple rule to match against these sorts of
URL formats, so that to your visitors it appears as if the actual path
exists, but internally it can get translated to something like
http://www.abcnetwork.com/profile.php?id=username

be aware if you do not have full control of your server setup, this type of
parameter handling is not possible on most shared hostings.

however url encoded it is never a problem. so be clear where yout page will
be hosted.

Hi,

> ...

As has been suggested you could use mod_rewrite, but you don't have to
if your needs are simple (or maybe you don't have it). You could also
use the ForceType directive. Eg on my website the URLs are like this:

http://www.phpguru.org/article/20-years-of-php

Where "article" is actually a PHP file without the .php extension.
It's forced to run as a PHP file using this:


ForceType application/x-httpd-php


And you will find the URL in $_SERVER somewhere.

Hi Ralph,

First, please don't top-post.

Second, please use complete words. 'u' is not a word.

Third, I have no idea why you feel that such an knee-jerk reaction and
abusive post would be helpful or useful. If you have nothing to add to
the conversation, do not post.

Hi Haig,

Yes, this is possible; there is nothing special about creating such a
file. Simply construct the filename as a string in normal PHP fashion,
and then use that filename with file_put_contents(), fopen(), or
similar, to create the file. 

It will be hard to help you further without an example (as short as you
can make it) of what you are trying to do, and an explanation of how
it's failing to do what you want it to do.

Please post a short example of the code you have which is failing, and
a longer explanation of exactly what you want to achieve, and perhaps we
can explain how to make it work or suggest a better solution to your
problem.

Ralph did get one thing right, in that it's generally better to explain
what you're trying to do instead of explaining how you're trying to do
it. There are many ways to do almost any task, so it is possible that
there is another way to do what you want which is simpler and less
error-prone.

Re: [PHP] Best Practice to Create Dynamic URL's- With Username

[Gaurav Kumar]

A Big Thanks to all of you.

Question I was Asked by Andrea- "mod_reqrite or .htaccess is the answer, but
I wonder why you choose /user/username rather than just /username a la
twitter."

I will be using many other aspects of my users something like
"/projects/username/"; "/gallery/username/".

OK Ashley, Tommy and Ralph-

100% correct that mod_rewrite will be used.

I am a bit sticky that my URL will be-
"http://www.abcnetwork/user/*Ashley*".

So will I get $_GET["user"] with value as "*Ashley*" or *Tommy* in my
script?

So what exactly will be
the ".htaccess" rule for above?


Thanks,

Gaurav Kumar

well, it does not matter if this service is user based.

/username/ #as user home page

/username/projects/ #as user projects

/username/gallery/ #as user gallery

/username/etc ...

it's just a silly point but from user home page you isntantly know if user 
exists and you instantly know subsections

In your way you assume that there is a gallery for that user while he could 
have created only projects, without galleries.
So one search failed, while to go in the user page I need to digit /user/ 
before, not a big deal but we are in tinyurl and bit.ly era

Google Code put simply a /p/ as prefix plus the project name plus subsection


/p/myprojname/

/p/myprojname/wiki

since you are starting now, maybe you could consider this semantic alternative, 
if it suits your requirements.

I totally agree with this architecture.

You are correct, I am just in the starting phase of the project and in fact
still need to define the architecture in detail.

Now the question I asked in my last reply is still to be answered?

For help with the mod_rewrite, a Google search never goes amiss, first
result I found for 'mod_rewrite example' is
http://www.workingwith.me.uk/articles/scripting/mod_rewrite . I looked
at it quickly and it does cover what you need.

As for what you get as $_GET parameters, that's entirely up to you, and
as you will see from the above link, it's fairly simple to mess about
with.

If your hosting service company doesn't permit/use URL rewrite (mod_rewrite for 
Apache), then ask them to specify a 404 error page for you.  You can then do an 
ugly hack of URL rewrite in your (PHP)  404 error page so the URL will be SEF ;)

Tommy

I get 80.82.121.153 for it. You might have an issue with your DNS
server. There are a lot of freely available alternative DNS servers
about the world that you can use instead. I had to do that myself one
time, when the DNS server issued by my ISP was misbehaving and I was
getting lots of timeouts just like you are getting.

Unless PHP Gtk has a module able to create an interface able to capture 
coordinates in a touchscreen device ... PHP is a web server programming 
language and it usually works in the server specially suited for web based 
applications.

If the touch screen is attached to the server, yes. But you probably
need to specify which touch screen and drivers you are using.

If it is attached to the browser, no. All PHP does is generate HTML to
send to the browser. It is up to whomever manages that machine to
install the drivers for the touch screen and integrate it into the OS.

You need to be more specific about what you are trying to do.

php|arch magazine had an article about this some years back, search

install apache/php/mysql on the machine that run the device (assuming

[PHP] Re: Touch screen programming help

[Ralph Deffke]

well, I would say a touch screen usualy is just another 'pointing device'
like the mouse is. it depends on the operating system and the driver setup
for it. then u simply can use any browser and just adjust the pointing
receiving elements like buttons and links a bit bigger and with images
rather then with just text. However this is not realy a PHP related issue.
more like a designers issue.

I think its realy simple

[PHP] Usage of strlen(tuf8_decode()) and "/u" regex modifier

[GoForThisWorld]

Hello,

  As indicated below, the "strlen(tuf8_decode())" and the "/u" regex
  modifier do not work as per my understanding.  

  1) What is my misunderstanding?  

  author (85 bytes):$the_string," . strlen($the_string) . ',' 
. strlen( utf8_decode( $the_string ) ) . ',' .
strlen( utf8_decode( utf8_encode($the_string) ) ) . ',' .  "";
  // all the number echoed are 85, I expected at least one to be 13

  
  $max_length = 20;
  $is_short = preg_match( '/^.{1,$max_length}$/u', uft8_encode( 
$the_string ) ) );
  // expect the above to return 1
  
  $max_length = 10;
  $is_short = preg_match( '/^.{1,$max_length}$/u', uft8_encode( 
$the_string ) ) );
  // expect the above to return 0
  
  ?>

  More generally, given a string $the_string:

  2) how to determine what encoding is being used?

  3) how to determine the number of visible characters?

  4) if it has more than N visible characters, how to 
 truncate it after N visible characters?

  Thanks!

Use the preg_match() function (see
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php ) and a good
regular expression from a place like http://www.regexlib.com/ .

correct accordingly with your local time zone, 'cause I am pretty much sure 
that if you do

the time will be exactly the same reported in the log file.

You would have known this if you were developing with E_STRICT since date is a 
warning, even in the phpinfo, if you do not set it correctly.

It's a good idea in any case, for obvious portability reasons across websites, 
countries, and hosts, to use gmdate for time operations, otherwise if I use 
date I could have stuff from the future in another host, and stuff from past in 
another one.

[PHP] webpage link validation

[Al]

What's the simplest way to test if a link is valid?

I've got a script that throughly checks the dns, etc. But, I'd also like to 
check to see if the user has inputted a valid link to a webpage.


File_exists() and etc. seem to have a lot of caveats.

E.g., foo.com/bar/file.txt

Most things I've looked at are gross overkill.

Several ways that I can think of:

  * use the file_get_contents() which like you said, could be
overkill
  * shell out to wget to retrieve just the headers for the path.
You'd be looking for a 200 return code, which indicates the URI
exists.
  * lastly, you could use fopen() to open the file, and use the
return from the fopen() call to indicate a success of failure

you forgot probably the best one, an HEAD call via curl library (

Something like this should work for you.

Actually, try this.  It seems to work a little better.

http://site.com sit amet';
$urls[] = 'Lorem ipsum dolor https://www.site.com/ or http://www.site2.com/';
$urls[] = 'Lorem ipsum dolor www.site1.net sit amet';
$urls[] = 'Lorem ipsum dolor www site2.net sit amet';

foreach ( $urls AS $url ) {
if ( preg_match_all('%(https?://[^\s]+|www\.[^\s]+)%',
$url,
$m,
(PREG_SET_ORDER ^ PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE)
) ) {
print_r($m);
}
}

?>

You may want to try this HTML parser package. It is tolerating to
malformed HTML documents. It returns a stream of document elements, such
as tags, data, character entities, etc.. that you can pass back to the
class and regenerate a well-formed document. It comes even with filter
class that validates the document against a DTD and adds missing closed
tags and such.

[PHP] using a USB device (flash) in the Virtualbox

[chamba kasonde]

Hi!
I am a new user of this feature and tool and would like to transfer data and 
info to and from Windows Xp in the Virtualbox running on a Linux Ubuntu 
platform.
My first version of Virtualbox was 2._ _ _ which said it did not support that 
feature.
Therefore, I upgraded to 3._ _ _ which supports it but the flash does not show 
nor appear in the XP window.
How do I get to use my flash on both parallel running systems?
