It is nearly imposible to make URLs look nice in pure PHP. URLS is a micro framework that takes ugly URLs and allows you to rewrite it any way you want. That means you can turn this URL, https://examplesite.com/blog/home.php?post=1 into, https://examplesite.com/blog/post/1/ with no .htaccess at all!
- Automatic Updates - URLS automatically checks for updates everytime it is called. It is recomended you disable this feature for produciton.
- Easy to Use
- Simple Setup - Just open the
urls_install.phppage in your browser and follow the simple instructions. - Custom HTTP Error Pages.
- Latest Version of PHP. Although URLS has only been tested on PHP 8, but it should still work on PHP 7 and possibly 5.
- Server running Apache with mod_rewrite. URLS uses
.htaccessso it will not work on a Nginx server. However, we are working on a Nginx version.
- Open the
urls_install.phpfile in your browser. - Fill out the required fields.
- Start making your urls!
For a more complete example, see guides/INSTALL.md.
- Install the URLS framework (see this guide).
- Create a new file named
blog-home.phpand fill it with:<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>My Blog - Home</title> </head> <body> <h1>This is my Blog</h1> <p>Welcome!</p> </body> </html>
- Open the file you chose as your settings in your editor. It should look something like this:
<?php /* URLS framework url config file. Add your paths here: ex. $urls->path('blog/', 'blog-home.php', true); */ include 'urls/Urls.php'; Urls::$base = '/'; $urls = new Urls; $urls->exe(); ?>
- Add
$urls->path('blog/', 'blog-home.php', true);to your settings file underinclude 'urls/Urls.php';. Here is the file now:<?php /* URLS framework url config file. Add your paths here: ex. $urls->path('blog/', 'blog-home.php', true); */ include 'urls/Urls.php'; Urls::$base = '/'; $urls = new Urls; $urls->path('blog/', 'blog-home.php', true); $urls->exe(); ?>
- If you did not specify a base url, go to
http://yourdomain.com/blog/. If you did specify a base url, go tohttp://yourdomain.com/<your base url>/blog/. You should see the contents of the theblog-home.phpfile.
