Dynamically rewrite URLs upon the user's selection - is it possible?
- by jitzo
In my PHP based web application, there's a form that generates a URL according to the user's selection.
The form has 7 different fields, each one of them affects the final URL, none of them is mandatory.
The final URL can be:
/field1/user_setting_of_field1/field3/user_setting_of_field3/field6/user_setting_of_field6/
or just:
/field4/user_setting_of_field4
these URLs should be rewritten to-
/results.php?field1=user_setting_of_field1&field3=user_setting_of_field3&field6=user_setting_of_field6
and:
/results.php?field4=user_setting_of_field4
Is it possible to create a single rewrite rule that will cover these variations?
I'd hate to create different rewrite rule for every possible scenario, it'll take forever...
I'm currently developing the app on a Windows machine with IIS 7.5, but will eventually deploy it to an Apache server.
Is it possible in both? I currently need to solve it for the IIS environment, and later on for Apache.
