I was wondering how some sites like this one do the sites as seperate folders.

for example.

If you wanted to go to portofolio.php

they have /portofolio.

I know you could easily make a new folder put the index.html or php and that would work but that's hard to maintain.

And also tutorials when they get accepted they go like www.pixel2life.com/counttutorial/thetutorial/

and im sure you dont make a new folder and the index file for each tutorial.

it also happens with affiliates.

So i was wondering if it is a CMS that's is downloadable or even a custom CMS ?

Thanks

Yes you are right in saying that P2L doesn't create folders and puts an index.php file so it make sthe link like this: site.com/tutorals/php/1

What pixel2life is using is good tool called mod_rewrite

I havn't used this before and so I am unable to tell how to use it, but it requires you to right a small pice of code in a file called .htaccess

I last saw a tutorial for this in the HTML tips and tricks tutorial category on the main page here.

Good luck.

i just tried this thanks.

But this is only for like a image gallery.
Any more links ?

It doesn't matter what its for... as long as it works and get's the point across. You should be able to modify it to suit your needs.

i can't because the script says i am not allowed in the copyright.

And i have no idea of making my own.

[rc69]

technically, they can and can't copyright that. So basically, you're free to use it how you wish, and it's not possible for anybody else to know, as long as you dont re-distribute it.

Also, if you to afraid to change it, then google .htaccess and mod_rewrite (hell, search the php tutorial section of the main site, i swear to god i've seen this tutorial there before).

I think i broke my finger trying to find this! You owe me!

[FFX]

thanks i did look but it was complicated on google not what i wanted.

I'm gonna try a few things, thanks for the help.

mod_rewrite is fickle, but once you get it working it's great

[MillerTime]

what would you say is easier and more efficient? the regular way or mod_rewrite

[rc69]

The regular way.
It looks to me like mod_rewrite requires regular expressions, and a knowlage of .htaccess (not to much, but some). I'm not to sure about which is more efficent though.
