1 bug to kill... Letting PHP Generate The Canonical.
- by Sam
Hi folks, for building a clean canonical url, that always returns 1 base URL, im stuck in following case:
<?php
# every page
$extensions = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; # path like: /en/home.ast?ln=ja
$qsIndex = strpos($extensions, '?'); # removes the ?ln=de part
$pageclean = $qsIndex !== FALSE ? substr($extensions, 0, $qsIndex) : $extensions;
$canonical = "http://website.com" . $pageclean; # basic canonical url
?>
<html><head><link rel="canonical" href="<?=$canonical?>"></head>
when URL : http://website.com/de/home.ext?ln=de
canonical: http://website.com/de/home.ext
BUT I want to remove the file extension aswell, whether its .php, .ext .inc or whatever two or three char extension .[xx] or .[xxx] so the base url becomes: http://website.com/en/home
Aaah much nicer! but How do i achieve that in current code?
Any hints are much appreciated +!
(other advices for proper canonical usage in this multi-lingual environment are welcome as well)
