基于登录用户的URL重写

Question

hi is it possible to make url rewrite based on login user?

For example if user basikal login, they will see the url at the address bar as http://localhost/test/basikal/index.php .

Meanwhile the actual address is http://localhost/real/index.php

I need this because i got user that want the system customize to their profile but i dont want to create multiple copies because it is troublesome to maintain it.

Thanks.

There are better ways of doing this; a solid MVC framework will allow you to set custom routes.

But simply:

• Create a rewrite rule that rewrites /app/(.+)?/ to /app/ .
• On every page view, in php, check the url. If it isn't /app/username , redirect user to /app/username/
• Do not ever use the username in the url for identification purposes, always use the session.

This will give the impression to the user that they have a personalized url.

This is neither efficient, nor pretty but it will work.
