Hi all,
I'm trying to make our site cleaner for search engines by eliminating ugly query strings but am running into some redirect issues. I have the following PHP code set up to link pages that are generated via a stroll throught the site:
header('location:'.$redirect);
Where redirect=
This is where it gets tricky! We then have a RewriteCond set up in our apache webserver that will take the request for /dir/id and redirect to but this is a pass through redirect so the URL in the browser should remain Apache config syntax:
# Rewrite engine
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^dir\/([0-9]+)$ /page_id.php?i=$1 [PT]
Does this make sense? To basically recap, I'm using a header redirect in PHP to then call a RewriteRule in apache which redirects to another page but I want the apache redirect to happen behind the scenes and not change what is in the browser URL.
I'm running PHP 4.3.10, Apache 1.3.33 on Debian Sarge.
Thanks,
Greg
