Hey Rob,

So I decided to do what you mentioned:

$eventNameStr = strrchr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "/");
$eventNameStr = substr($eventNameStr, 1, strlen($eventNameStr));
error_log($eventNameStr); <-- this is the other line of the error log snip below

However, I'm getting some wierd script action..

Here's a snippet from my error_log( ) calls when loading: http://192.168.1.102/pc_release/index.php/26657d5ff9020d2abefe558796b99584

[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] 26657d5ff9020d2abefe558796b99584
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] DBAS: 192.168.1.106 connected to mysql server db 'hhc'
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] style.css
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] DBAS: 192.168.1.106 connected to mysql server db 'hhc'
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] favicon.ico
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] DBAS: 192.168.1.106 connected to mysql server db 'hhc'
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] pc_app_logo.png
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] DBAS: 192.168.1.106 connected to mysql server db 'hhc'
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] favicon.ico
[19-Mar-2007 13:53:08] DBAS: 192.168.1.106 connected to mysql server db 'hhc'

As you can see, its loading the file (index.php) 5 times for a single request. (the hash, style, favion, png and favicon)..

Now, when loading:
http://192.168.1.102/pc_release/index.php?act=700&eventid=26657d5ff9020d2abefe558796b99584

[19-Mar-2007 13:54:09] index.php?act=700&eventid=26657d5ff9020d2abefe558796b99584 [19-Mar-2007 13:54:09] DBAS: 192.168.1.106 connected to mysql server db 'hhc'

So, any ideas as to why its working like this?

- Ben

P.S. mod_rewrite is usually enabled or can be enabled on any simple hosting plan that is using apache, if you encounter a host that uses apache and wont turn it on, i would suggest finding another host.

Also, you can usually put mod_rewrite rules in a .htaccess file -- so it doesn't require httpd.conf access.

Even without mod_rewrite, you could still do myhost.com/index.php/ MayEvent07 -- you then look at $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], remove index.php/ from it, and then explode on / to get your args.

Even if you are able to use mod_rewrite, you probably need to do a database lookup to find MayEvent07 so your mod_rewrite rule would be something like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|html|htm|xml|php)$ index.php

Then you still process it by exploding $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] but you won't have index.php in that string. The rewrite rule forwards everything to index.php except for files with the extensions listed.
