php and mod_rewrite problem

[trs21219]

i have my url structure rewrite from index.php?act=games&task=play to mysite.com/games/play.php but when i try to add a $_GET value to the end of the url it doesnt work.

i want when a user clicks a game for it to be like mysite.com/games/play.php?game=534. but when i call the $_GET it does not get it??? it just acts like game= nothing

could someone shed some light on this for me?

my .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^home.php$ index.php

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+).php$ index.php?act=$1&task=$2

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/$ http://www.mysite.com/$1/main.php [R]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1/main.php [R]

Hi,

In php to send values from one page to another page there are 4 ways

one is submitting a form using get,post
second is using sessions
third is using coockies
fourth one the using anchor tag.

in <a> tag if u want to post a $_GET data need to give echo statement.

ex:- index.php?id = echo $_GET;

it will gives the id value.

in index.php by using REQUEST; u can get the value.

why do you need the .htaccess file. i don't need one and i have done the samething displaying games with an game id. it here: www.vcgames.net

yeah...i know how to pass the values in php but im having a problem with mod_rewrite and passing values....thanks anyways

[sujathasrs]

Sorry,

I con't understand what's ur problem. I think u r using perl or something. I know core php. using html and javascript. But one thing, u get the error id's like 401,402..... So u can post that id's to this site. http://bugs.php.net/. just give that id and submit. It will may explain about ur bug. U may get the solution.

Thanks,
Sujatha

im not using perl im using straight php and html.

my problem is that i want my site to rewrite this( mysite.com?act=games&task=play) to this (mysite.com/games/play.php) which i have done.

then when the user selects a game it will just add the ?game= to the end of mysite.com/games/play.php.

[HazardTW]

Whatever link a user uses to go to "mysite.com?act=games&task=play" why not just have that link point to "mysite.com/games/play.php?game=###"
Seems like you might be unnecessarily complicating a simple task.
I mean, why even call mysite.com when that is not the page you are looking for.
Can you show us your code?

If you use mod_rewrite, why don't you use it all the way???

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?act=$1&task=$2&game=$3

or

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([0-9]+).html$ index.php?act=$1&task=$2&game=$3

That would be:
mysite.com/games/play/534/
or
mysite.com/games/play/534.html

or whatever other variation of that you want ;)

[trs21219]

i think thats what im gonna have to do. i just liked the way the other one looked..lol

[johny_d]

Well I think it kind of make no sense of using both methods in the same url:
if you like query strings, stick to them - index.php?act=games&task=play&game=534

otherwise, if you like or want to use mod_rewrite, than stick to mod_rewrite - mysite.com/games/play/534.html

Do it the way you want or like, but don't mix them ;)
