Quick Question

Hi, I currently have a script for my news, the PHP file is this:

<?php

$amount_get = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM comment WHERE articleid='" . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) . "'"); $comments = mysql_num_rows($amount_get);

$grab = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM articles WHERE id='" . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) . "' LIMIT 1");

$article = $row['news_title'];

if (mysql_num_rows($grab)==0) {

die();
}

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($grab)){

?>
<p></p>
<div class="container">
<div class="header"><?php echo $row['news_title'] ?></div>
<div class="content"><?php echo $row['news_content'] ?></div>
<div class="comments"> <a href="<?php echo $row['id'] ?>">Comments (<?php echo $comments ?>)</a> </div>
<div class="posted"> <i> Posted by <strong><?php echo $row['news_author'] ?></strong> on <strong><?php echo $row['news_date'] ?></strong> </i> </div>
</div>

<?php } ?>

<div class="container">
<div class="header_comments">Article Comments</div>

<?php

$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
$comment = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['comment']);
$submit = $_POST['submit'];
$date = date("y-m-d");
$ip = "".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."";

if($submit)
{
if($name&&$comment)
{

$query=mysql_query("

INSERT INTO comment (id, articleid, name, comment, date, ip) VALUES ('','". mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) ."','$name','$comment','$date','$ip')

");
header("Location: " . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) . "");

}
else
{
echo "<div class='red'>You must fill in all fields!</div>";
}
}
?>

<?php

$amount_get = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM comment WHERE articleid='" . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) . "'"); $comments = mysql_num_rows($amount_get);

$grab = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM comment WHERE articleid='" . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) . "'");

if (mysql_num_rows($grab)==0) {

echo "<p> There are no comments to be displayed! </p>";
}

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($grab)){

?>

<div class="grey">

Posted by <strong><?php echo $row['name'] ?></strong> on <strong><?php echo $row['date'] ?></strong>

<br /><br />

<?php echo $row['comment'] ?>

</div>

<div class="grey_line"></div>

<?php } ?>

<a href="../comment.php" rel="facebox">Post Comment</a>

</div>

</body>
</html>
<?php ob_flush(); ?>


Now, this is my .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^article/(.*)/?$ article/article.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

the finished product would look like this: article/5 or article/6 based on what my articles are.

Now I'm simply trying to add a "article/ID.ARTICLE-NAME-HERE", how would I go about doing this? Is it a PHP file problem, or a .htaccess problem?

Thank you for your time!

You can do it both either with web server rewrite:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^article/([0-9]+).*/?$ article/article.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]


or with php and your rewrite:


preg_match('/^([0-9]+)/', $_GET['id'], $match);
$id = $match[1];

Thanks man, I appreciate you!

I'll have to add the ID.ARTICLE-NAME after it in the URL, but it still works!
