gamex

The url to games on my website looks something like this:

http://www.gameworldx.com/gameinfo.php?gameid=X

X could be any number from 1 to around 650.

I want to change the URL to something like this:

http://www.gameworldx.com/game_X.htm

Now, I know how to do that, however there are numerous people linking to my games the dynamic way, is there any way that I can redirect the page so users that type in http://www.gameworldx.com/gameinfo.php?gameid=X are redirected to http://www.gameworldx.com/game_X.htm ??

Thanks in advance,

you could use a meta refresh and inform the user that the URL has changed and they will be redirected in 3 seconds or something similar?

gamex

But wouldnt a meta refresh show up no matter what the url is. right? So i would be lie an infinite loop

on the php?gameid=

you use
<META http-equiv=Refresh CONTENT="5; URL=game_X.htm">



i may be wrong and i may've totally understood your question, im kinda tired

gamex

yea. but the code on both pages is identical, so even if they ere on the page game_X.htm, wont keep redirecting to the same page?

ah right...
im not too sure exactly but i think i once pulled off something similar with something like

<Iframe Src="game.php"></Iframe>

i can't remember exactly how i did it........... or you could empty the php page and use an include?




im sorry i'm not much help

well what you could do is this:

copy the file gameinfo.php and rename it to ginfo.php make a mod_rewite line for that to make it game_1.html as example.

with gameinfo.php you will delete the content and only write some php code to redirect it. example:

guy1 goes to www.domain/gameinfo.php?id=1

in the source it will look like this:

once they enter id=1 . it will redirect after 5 seconds to game_1.html


Hope this clears it up you.
