Php uri

[simpleleslie]

Hi guys, I'm new here, I am coding a code just like this

http://mydomain.com/index.php?actio n=View Property&id=211

The Property is called example "Manila Condo Suite"

how can I show this in the URL bar like this

http://mydomain.com/index.php?Manil a Condo Suite or similar like that. I don't want to show in the URL those variables.

thank you very much.

for an URL to match the desired dataset you need a unique identifier. if "Manila Condo Suite" fulfills that condition you can work with that. (i.e. your PHP code needs to look in its data store for that key). the remainder for you would be either rewriting the URL so the $_GET is populated properly or you parse the raw URL for that key. be aware though that both ways limit the things your URL space can do* (i.e. what you can do with your URL).

* - index.php?actio n=View Property&id=211 is more flexible than
index.php?Manil a Condo Suite

Hi Dormilich,

it's okay if it's limited, I just don't want to show the id 211, how can I do that?

thanks

Hi, how about URL encoding? thanks

I just don't want to show the id 211, how can I do that?

by one of the ways described above

how about URL encoding?

URL encoding simply is an escape mechanism so that the encoded string does not contain characters (esp. ?, &, and =) that could be misinterpreted by the URL parser.
