I want to set up a custom template system for a website that I'm working on, so I want to redirect all requests to a single file. If the user visits an URL like http://www.mywebsite.de/products/software/
I want to redirect his request to a file like index.php
, so I could do something like the following:
$look_at = $_GET['first_level']; //for example: products
if($look_at == 'products') {
$look_at = $_GET['second_level']; //here: software
if($look_at == 'software') {
//show software specific stuff
} else if ($look_at == 'hardware') {
//show hardware specicif stuff
} else {
//show error message
}
} else {
//show error message
}
Then, I could use include
to, well include, other html files into index.php
depending on what is being requested.
In the end, a request like http://www.mywebsite.de/products/software/
is supposed to be the same as http://www.mywebsite.de/index.php?first_level=products&second_level=software
