Clean URLs in PHP Yii Framework
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009Here is a quick tip to save some trouble. The goal here is to get clean urls like http://localhost/site/test/5 or http://localhost/site/contact without having a query string variable and also not having the filename index.php show up.
My configuration:
EasyPHP (apache/php/mysql combo for windows)
Yii PHP framework
In the Yii main.php configuration file you need:
'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path',
'showScriptName'=>false,
),
Inside the ‘components’ array area.
In the primary directory where the index.php file is you need a .htaccess files with this in it:
Options +FollowSymLinks
IndexIgnore */*
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php
If you have problems, check your httpd.conf file for these items:
<directory c:\easyphp\www>
Inside that directory section, make sure the rules don’t disallow the removal of index.php or the other rewrite rules.
Make sure this line is un-commented:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
I think that’s about it…
