I am trying to create a random image/link generator.
The anchor tags are effectively written in the PHP code as "link.php?action=detail&id={LINKID}".

The mod_rewrite SHOULD point them to "{DIRURL}/wesleychapelbusinesses/{LINKCATNAME}/{LINKTITLE}/{LINKID}.html"
(This is the way WSN Links functions when just browsing).

But when the page loads, the links are actually rewritten to "{DIRURL}/wesleychapelbusinesses/detail/{LINKID}".
(This URL strangely works also, but doesn't seem to follow the conditionals in my Details template...)

I think there is a conflict in my .HTACCESS file, but I don't know what to look for.

Any ideas?




Here's the content of my .HTACCESS file:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /directory/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [R]

RewriteRule ^admin$ admin/index.php
RewriteRule ^admin/$ admin/index.php

RewriteRule ^wesleychapelbusinesses/([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ link.php?action=detail&id=$2
RewriteRule ^wesleychapelbusinesses/([0-9]+)/?$ link.php?id=$1

RewriteRule ^thread/([0-9]+)/?$ comments.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^thread/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ comments.php?id=$1&page=$2

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?action=displaycat&catid=$1
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?action=displaycat&catid=$1&page=$2

RewriteRule ^([-_/\+A-Za-z0-9]+)$ index.php?action=displaycat&catname=$1
RewriteRule ^wesleychapelbusinesses/([-_/\+A-Za-z0-9]+)/([0-9]+).html$ link.php?action=detail&id=$2
RewriteRule ^/([-_/\+A-Za-z0-9]+)/([0-9]+).html$ link.php?action=detail&id=$2

RewriteRule ^Local_Businesses_Sitemap.html$ sitemap.php

I see a link to www.gowesleychapel.com/dire...tomotive/sponsor_2/33.html which when clicked shows that url in my browser, no forwarding. I thought that was what you wanted so I guess I'm not understanding what you're trying to do, unless you fixed it already.

I should have specified which anchor tags had the problem.

On the home page: http://www.gowesleychapel.com/directory/index.php
The "Affordable Advertising" blocks on the top right.
Notice the URL is "http://www.gowesleychapel.com/directory/wesleychapelbusinesses/detail/33"

The URL format you mentioned is the correct one. They should look like:
"http://www.gowesleychapel.com/directory/wesleychapelbusinesses/Automotive/sponsor_2/33.html"
Everywhere else they do look like this.


Here's the PHP I'm running in the Main Index template:
(There is a function elsewhere which scans the directory for pictures & randomizes the images.)

<?php
echo '<a href="link.php?action=detail&id='.$file.'">
<img src="{DIRURL}/homepageads/' . $file . '.gif" border="0"></a><br><br>'

echo '<a href="link.php?action=detail&id='.$file1.'">
<img src="{DIRURL}/homepageads/' . $file1 . '.gif" border="0"></a><br><br>'

echo '<a href="link.php?action=detail&id='.$file2.'">
<img src="{DIRURL}/homepageads/' . $file2 . '.gif" border="0"></a><br><br>'

echo '<a href="link.php?action=detail&id='.$file3.'">
<img src="{DIRURL}/homepageads/' . $file3 . '.gif" border="0"></a><br><br>'
?>

As you can see, the script uses the filename of the GIF to construct the anchor tag. The pictures are named 33.gif, 108.gif, etc.

If you use PHP like that it executes after the modrewrite alterations, so you need to use the format you want it to appear in and not expect a translation. If you create a link object $l = new onelink('id', $file); then $l->rewriteurl(); gives the full url.
