symfony和apache友好的网址

Question

I am writing because after searching&reading i still have doubts about if i can make an url like this: (a) http://www.balancextreme.es/tiendaweb/tienda/nuestrosProductos?culture=es

to show like this in search engines: (b) http://www.balancextreme.es/pulseras-y-zapatillas-famosos.html

Doubts involved (and i hope this are usefull for others too!) are:

If i do it in htaccess (rewrite) will (ie google) show this one (even when url_for in the template is the (a) link)? Or, if that`s not the case, can i achieve this in the routing.yml? (the examples i studied doesnt show this kind of change and i couldnt figure out how to do it)

well, that s it! Someone can help on this?

thank

If you're using Symfony, you should use the Symfony routing system...

There you could create a route like this:

#/apps/frontend/routing.yml:
show_product:
  url: /product/:slug
  params: { module: products, action: show }

Then, in your view, use <?php echo link_to($product->name, 'show_product', array('slug' => $product->slug); ?> .

If you solve your problem with mod_rewrite, which is possible, you miss the flexibility of referring to routes in your frontend. And if you change an URL, you'll have to manually change all references to that URL.

But this is the really compact explanation... You should really look into this tutorial, which explains everything very good: http://www.symfony-project.org/jobeet/1_4/Doctrine/en/05
