The example here is if you had a form on a website that when submitted, needed to use that information to go to a special URL where the login information was all appeneded to the URL. You could have the form post with method GET, but that is limited to the typical ?variable=foo&variable2=bar format.
Typical form with three bits of information that submits to a file called ftp.php
<form action="../processing/ftp.php" method="post">
<p><label for="ftp-company-name">Company</label><input type="text" name="ftp-company-name" id="ftp-company-name" /></p>
<p><label for="ftp-user-name">User Name</label><input type="text" name="ftp-user-name" id="ftp-user-name" /></p>
<p><label for="ftp-password">Password</label><input type="password" name="ftp-password" id="ftp-password" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" id="ftp-submit" class="button" value="submit" /></p>
</form>This file reads in the POST variables (if they are set), builds the URL from them, and redirects to it. You'd probably want to clean up the POST variables for security purposes.
<?php
if (isset($_POST["ftp-company-name"])) {
$company = $_POST["ftp-company-name"];
$username = $_POST["ftp-user-name"];
$password = $_POST["ftp-password"];
$url = "ftp://$username:$password@ftp2.edgeconsult.com/$company";
header( "Location: $url" ) ;
} else {
// do nothing
}
?>
Sometimes the time set on your server isn't accurate to what your local time is. If you can't change it, you can adjust it yourself.
$today = date('Y-m-d-G');
$today = strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H", strtotime("$today -5 hour"));If your server thought it was 12 midnight, but it was really 7 pm, this will roll the $today variable back five hours to be correct.
You should really be doing one or the other. For consistency, as well as SEO's, sake.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^your-site.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.your-site.com/$1 [L,R=301]RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^your-site.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your-site.com/$1 [L,R=301]
This has only really been tested on Media Temple (gs) servers.
In the folder with the JavaScript, the .htaccess file should include:
<FilesMatch "^.*?api.*?$">
SetHandler php5-script
</FilesMatch>In that above example, any file that includes the string "api" will be processed as PHP. Feel free to alter that RegEx.
Then in the JavaScript file itself, set the ContentType back to JavaScript:
<?php
// Sets the proper content type for javascript
header("Content-type: application/javascript");
?>That will ensure browsers reading the file will interpret it as JavaScript. Now you can use <php ... ?> tags in the JavaScript file to do whatever PHP stuff you need to do.
# Don't forget to turn on the rewrite engine

# Maintenance Redirection
# Replace 555\.555\.555\.555 with your own IP address
# Uncomment first conditional to turn off the redirection
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^$a
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !maintenance.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !(styles|images).+$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^555\.555\.555\.555$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^127\.0\.0\.1$
RewriteRule (.*) /maintenance.html [R,L]This code makes it easy to temporarily take down a website for updates. Replace the "555" line with your own IP address so that you'll still be able to view the website as normal while everyone else gets redirected. Images and styles are allowed to pass through the filter as well.
The first commented condition is designed to fail every time, so turning this redirection off is as simple as uncommenting that line.
The URL in the browser would be:
http://css-tricks.com/index.php/teachers/a/
The actual page rendered by the server would be:
http://css-tricks.com/index.php?search=teachers&sort=a
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index/([^/]+)/([^/]+).php /page.php?search=$1&sort=$2 [NC]
