PHP GET variables

Name: Anonymous 2008-10-14 19:54

My URLs are currently way too long, so I'm thinking of using index.php as a redirect to other parts of my site. What I had in mind is www.example.com/?nigger. The thing is that I'm using free hosting (inb4 shitstorm), and I have to change hosts once in a while. Are there any server configurations (which support PHP at all) that wouldn't work with this?

you could try www.example.com/niggers-rape-white-women/
and hind any niggers inside the folder.

That would result in way too many niggers inside one folder. I like to have them separated, but that results in long URLs.
Thus I'd like to go for a redirect approach, but I dunno if it's supported "everywhere".

Given that you're using index.php:
www.example.com?stuff
www.example.com/?stuff

...or a.php:
www.example.com/a?stuff
www.example.com/a/stuff
www.example.com/a.php?stuff
www.example.com/a.php/stuff

As far as I know, all six methods should work. Would any of these fail with certain servers?

<?php
$map = array('penis' => '/me/nude.php');
foreach ($map as $p) isset($_GET[$p]) && die(file_get_contents('http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$p));
?>

How to do it isn't what's the problem. I just want to know whether this works on all servers with php, or if some configurations might show 404s etc. when using links in the format of >>4. But thanks for pitching in.

Read the goddamn documentation.

Read the Sussman-blessed SICP
Fix'd.

What documentation? The one for PHP? Or for every server I might happen to end up using in the future?

>>9
I really don't see how SICP could help me here, but then again, I guess SICP is always related.

No, >>4 will always work. ALWAYS.

The PHP documentation for the functions you are unsure about working in all situations.

Protip: array(), foreach(), work die() work in all but exotic configurations.

He's not even talking about that.
Are there any server configurations that wouldn't work with this?

as in not assuming that it's supposed to read index.php, just given the domain and arguments like in >>4

Name: Anonymous 2008-10-17 18:12

elseif(isset($_GET['id'])) {
    if(isset($_GET['admin']) || isset($_GET['mod'])){
        require('content/404.php');
    }
    $main_id=$_GET['id'];
    $id = "content/" . $main_id .".php";
    if (preg_match("/\.\./i", $main_id) ){
        require('content/404.php');
    }
    elseif ($main_id == "index"){
        // include() index here or whatever
    }
    elseif(file_exists($id)){
        require($id);
    }
    else{
        require('content/404.php');
    }
}

eg. you navigate to http://www.example.com/ and the server automatically returns index.php
If you navigate to http://www.example.com/?what... Are there some servers that don't return index.php with "what" as a parameter?
Also, given http://www.example.com/a/what. Would all servers load a.php with /what as parameter, and not do something silly like looking for the directory a?
This was harder to explain than I thought. I fail.

My server's definately the most weirdly setup (/a doesn't even redirect to /a/) - And example.org/?nigger won't work (I believe it trys to read a file called .php) - But in most cases it will.

example.org/phpfile/pathinfo will work on most servers which have something like multiviews (or just a rewrite) to change phpfile to phpfile.php (wouldn't work on a default Apache install)
Exception is if there's also a directory called phpfile Apache will probably use that first.

example.org/phpfile.php/pathinfo is uglier but safer than the above.

Learn to mod_rewrite and then go away.

Learn that mod_rewrite isn't available on shitty hosts and then go away.

Best answer until now, thanks a lot!
So example.org/phpfile.php/whatever will work in "all" cases?

Learn not to use shitty hosts, write in Django, host on Google App Engine, and then go away. Or, you know, stay, or whatever, really. You go do that, and then you're okay by me.

What if shitty hosts are the only ones you can afford?
