How to get value in URL Using php

Question

I am working on a website on which user can see the menu items of a particular Restaurant.

Every Restaurant Contains a unique ID and name

Example : Name -> Taj

          Id   -> 1111

Now what user want to do is along with the website link (ex: www.abc.com) he want give the id or name of any particular restaurant exactly in the below format

www.abc.com/1111 or www.abc.com/Taj

Then based on that ID or Name we want to display the menu items.

If the user is giving the value in the below format

www.abc.com/value=1111 or www.abc.com/value=Taj

then we can use the GET Method as below.

$value=$_GET['value'];

Code for Printing the menus come here..!!

But the Client requirement is like www.abc.com/1111

So if the user give like that the server will check for 1111 folder or Taj Folder. we will get the error File Not Found.

Anyone have the solution for this please Suggest me.

Answer 1

you need to add re-write rule to rewrite the add this rule in .htaccess

 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteRule /(.*) /?value=$1 [L]

Answer 2

Assuming Apache:

• Map / onto your script with Alias
• Examine $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']

e.g.

Alias / /home/site/myphp.php/

and

echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']);

Answer 3

You need to use .htaccess like so:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /?value=$1 [L]
