[PHP] apache htaccess mod rewrite with php querystring urls
Hi, I realize this isnt specificaly related to php, but most php developers are familiar with this. My website uses an index.php file to load all content with a template, using urls like so: http://www.foo.com/index.php?page=splash.html In the same directory, there is a file called splash.html, but what I would like to do is that if the source file is called, the php file would load instead. So typing in: http://www.foo.com/splash.html would bring up: http://www.foo.com/index.php?page=splash.html instead. The solution I found was to use an .htaccess file, but it only brings up a 403 forbidden access error everytime. ModRewrite is enabled, so what could be the problem? Here is the code I used: RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9]\.html$ /index.php?page=$1 thanks for your help :) -steph -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] apache htaccess mod rewrite with php querystring urls
A simple redirection using meta refresh in the html file would work content="1;url=http://www.foo.com/index.php?page=splash.html";> This isn't what I want since (I should probably have specified) the html files contain no headers. The header is generated by the php file. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[A-Za-z0-9] will only match one character. Try this : RewriteEngine on RewriteRule [A-Za-z0-9]+\.html$ /index.php?page=$1 Ah, good point there. Thanks. However, I'm still experiencing problems displaying any page contained within the folder which holds this htaccess file. I get a 403 Forbidden Access error everytime. Your example above is the only code contained in my file. What could be the cause of this, and how can I fix it? thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] mkdir and rmdir possible but not readdir and opendir???
Hi, I'm having trouble understanding why I can create and delete directories with my script via mkdir and rmdir, but not simply being able to read them with opendir or readdir? For example, when I attempt to access these directories with opendir, I get this error message: Warning: opendir(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 789 is not allowed to access... Safe Mode is on as I am hosted on a shared server and cannot change this. Surely there's a work-around for this?

Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: This is normal. You are allowed to create the directory because the directory you are creating it in is owned by the same user id that owns the script calling mkdir(). However, since your web server runs as some other user the owner of the newly created dir will be that user and not your own so you subsequently cannot manipulate that directory. Same problem with safe mode and file uploads. ISP's are generally better off using open_basedir instead of safe-mode for this very reason. I see, so there's no way around this then. I'll inquire to my host why open_basedir couldnt be used instead of safe-mode. There's goes my plan of FTP-less website management :( thanks -steph -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] mkdir and rmdir possible but not readdir and opendir???
Surely if there is a work-around then safe mode would not be doing its job properly? Well this was part of the purpose of my post, before Rasmus explained it, I didn't understand why I couldnt access a directory I had created. I was hoping for a function which would achieve the same purpose but wouldn't be affected by safe-mode. I've seen many other workaround solutions to other problems caused by the safe-mode setting. Unfortunatly this doesnt seem to be such a case. -s -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] mkdir and rmdir possible but not readdir and opendir???
The work-around is to create the directory outside of your web application from your regular account. Or if you are allowed to run cgi scripts and these are set up via cgiwrapper or suExec to run as your own user id, use this to create the directory. Once created with the right owner, you can manipulate it from your regular Apache-embedded PHP scripts. Thank you! I'm definitely filing this solution for later use. Meanwhile, I went back to trying the FTP_MKDIR method and found why that didnt work. I realized when accessing the website via ftp that the system path was different than the one displayed online. IE: my script path was shown as /home/virtual/site... while in my ftp client I was seeing /var/www/html... Changing my path references to the later one fixed everything...so far!

[PHP] FTP alternative to copy() ?
Hi, I'd like to know if there's an alternative to copy() to copy a file from one directory to another, using the FTP functions? I figured I could probably open the file from the server and save/upload it to a specified path. Can this be done? What syntax should I use?

My overall script is for creating directories on the same server, and I'd like to copy the main index file to each new directory that is created. So my intention is exactly the same as copy() since it's on the same server. I'm exploring other alternatives because I cant see to get copy() working as I intend. -s -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] writing file on server from database?
Hi, I'm currently working on a basic website creation script where I want an index file created automaticaly within each new folder created. My attempts at using copy() were foiled by safe-mode restrictions on my account but after some research, I discovered this could be circumvented with the use of move_uploaded_file() instead. Now I'd like to figure out how I could use this to copy an existing "index.php" file on the server to the newly created directories. But can I use move_uploaded_file() if the file is already on the server? If it needs to be an uploaded file, would uploading it once allow me to copy it anytime afterwards? I figured an even better solution could be to store the index file as a blob in my MySQL db and have the script write that file to the newly created dirs. Is this feasible (especialy with the safe-mode restrictions) ? Any tips or examples would be much appreciated.

I found the answer. If safe-mode prevents you from copying files to a newly script-generated directory, simply use the following: ftp_put($conn_id, $newdirectorypath,$sourcefilepath, FTP_ASCII) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] apply function to each array element?
Hi, I'm looking for a concrete example I could use to create an array where each element from an original array is processed by a function. It seems array_walk would be the solution but it doesnt seem to output an array. My function looks up my array elements in a mysql table and outputs a corresponding row value. So I would like my new array to be made up of these values. Can anyone help? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] apply function to each array element?
Thanks for the reply, I think I'll need to dig deeper as the proposed
line doesnt work with my function.
array_walk should be fine for this, instead of creating a new array
why not just modify the existing one? I.e.:
The reason I want a new array is that I will then combine both together,
for key/value pairs. The original array is a list of directories. My
database contains data for each directory and in this case I want to
create an array of the "title" for each directory that is included in
the original array. So the final combined array would become something
like:
array('img_files'=>'The Images','some_stuff'=>'Some Stuff'...)
I then generate the sub-directory menus of each of my directories with
arrays like this.
