Dynamic generation of filename..

Hi!

I wanted to know how could we generate automatic html filenames like download.com does...and many of the sites like techrepublic.com do..

dow1345,,..3434.3,..24.html or something like that...

Thank You

There are many methods to this, but I prefer to use Apache's MOD_REWRITE

Best Wishes,

MR Documentation

Here is what I use:

Quote:

RewriteRule ^example/(([-_a-zA-Z0-9]*)/?)?(([-_a-zA-Z0-9]*)/?)?(([-_a-zA-Z0-9]*)/?)?$ /tezt.php?var1=$2&var2=$4&var3=$6 [L]

This allows you to use the url "/example/foo/bar/joe/" to go to "tezt.php?var1=foo&var2=bar&var3=joe".

A modification that would suit your purpose:

Quote:

RewriteRule ^(([-_a-zA-Z0-9]*),?)?(([-_a-zA-Z0-9]*),?)?(([-_a-zA-Z0-9]*),?)?.html$ /tezt.php?var1=$2&var2=$4&var3=$6 [L]

Please note that the above code is only an example that has not been tested.

The above code would go inside of your httpd.conf or .htaccess file.

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
Joe of 4Life
