HI there guys,
Hoping someone can please help - been working on this for 2 days now with no luch ....
I've managed to implement a Rewrite on my website where the URL that I'm specifying is static. ie.
My old link was:
http://www.mysite/Fonts.php?ID=1
I implemented:
RewriteRule my-fonts-(.*)\.htm$ Fonts.php?ID=$1
This gave me the SEO friendly of:
http://www.mysite/my-fonts-A.htm
Great !!!!
But now I need to do something similar (ie. SEO friendly links) with the PHP Pagination script that I've implemented.
<?php
// database connection info
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost','db_un','pw') or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
$db = mysql_select_db('db',$conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
// find out how many rows are in the table
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM fonts WHERE Letter = '1'";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
$r = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$numrows = $r[0];
// number of rows to show per page
$rowsperpage = 10;
// find out total pages
$totalpages = ceil($numrows / $rowsperpage);
// get the current page or set a default
if (isset($_GET['page']) && is_numeric($_GET['page'])) {
// cast var as int
$currentpage = (int) $_GET['page'];
} else {
// default page num
$currentpage = 1;
} // end if
// if current page is greater than total pages...
if ($currentpage > $totalpages) {
// set current page to last page
$currentpage = $totalpages;
} // end if
// if current page is less than first page...
if ($currentpage < 1) {
// set current page to first page
$currentpage = 1;
} // end if
// the offset of the list, based on current page
$offset = ($currentpage - 1) * $rowsperpage;
$ID = $_GET['ID'];
// get the info from the db
$sql = "SELECT * FROM fonts WHERE Letter = '$ID' LIMIT $offset, $rowsperpage";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
// while there are rows to be fetched...
while ($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
// echo data
echo $list['UniqueID'] . " : " . $list['Name'] . "<br />";
} // end while
/****** build the pagination links ******/
// range of num links to show
$range = 3;
// if not on page 1, don't show back links
if ($currentpage > 1) {
// show << link to go back to page 1
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?ID=$ID&page=1'><<</a> ";
// get previous page num
$prevpage = $currentpage - 1;
// show < link to go back to 1 page
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?ID=$ID&page=$prevpage'><</a> ";
} // end if
// loop to show links to range of pages around current page
for ($x = ($currentpage - $range); $x < (($currentpage + $range) + 1); $x++) {
// if it's a valid page number...
if (($x > 0) && ($x <= $totalpages)) {
// if we're on current page...
if ($x == $currentpage) {
// 'highlight' it but don't make a link
echo " [<b>$x</b>] ";
// if not current page...
} else {
// make it a link
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?ID=$ID&page=$x'>$x</a> ";
} // end else
} // end if
} // end for
// if not on last page, show forward and last page links
if ($currentpage != $totalpages) {
// get next page
$nextpage = $currentpage + 1;
// echo forward link for next page
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?ID=$ID&page=$nextpage'>></a> ";
// echo forward link for lastpage
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?ID=$ID&page=$totalpages'>>></a> ";
} // end if
/****** end build pagination links ******/
?>
I think my question is ....
Q: How should the Pagination links be modified (Next, Last, Numbers etc) so that I can use them in a Mod_Rewrite ...
Q2: what is the code for the Mod_Rewrite to go in the htaccess file. ...
Ideally I want to output something like:
http://www.mysite/my-fonts-A-page1.htm
http://www.mysite/my-fonts-A-page2.htm
http://www.mysite/my-fonts-A-page3.htm
etc.
Thank you in advance !!!
