.htaccess page

Hi Eric,
can you please include a .htaccess page on the registration solution to remove the extensions?
registration/users_Profile.php?
What I will like to have is just the domain (www.mydomain.com) to show and not the path: (users_Profile.php?)
I will like to remove the following from the address bar:
registration/users_Profile.php
Can you please help me to achieve this?
Thanks

Here is a guide on how to create the .htaccess file to rewrite the url:
mod_rewrite

If you run into any issues, please let me know and I will assist as best I can.

Hi Eric,
Sorry I can understand it.
Can you please give me a specific example for the following case (this hopefully will enable me to understand it).
Here is what I have:
On the User_profile page I have created a link so the user will be directed on a page that he/she will be able to upload a picture. (<a href="add_image.php?UserID=<?php echo $row_WAATKusers['UserID'];?>" target="_blank">)
The problem is that they will be able to see their ID e.g.
UpdateBanner.php?UserID=94
Which means that if you type 95 it will go to the UserID=95 and they will be able to change someone else’s picture.
if i could add the right command on the .htaccess page to remove this (?UserID=94), they will not be able to do this.
Can you please help me write the .htaccess page?
This is what I have tried but it gives me error 500
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^\?UserID=(.*)$ HTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^$UpdateBanner.php%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
HELP!!!

I think you are misunderstanding what modrewrite is capable of.

modrewrite can be used to convert query string variables into friendly urls, for example:

change:
UpdateBanner.php?UserID=94

to:
UpdateBanner.php/UserID/94

but the query string variable still needs to be in the URL for the php server to be able to use.


if you created a rule to strip the UserID variable, it would just redirect to the UpdateBanner.php page with that variable empty.

With the user registration solution pack, when a user logs in, a session variable named "UserID" is created that contains the Id of the logged in user. Why not use the session variable on the UpdateBanner.php page:
$_SESSION['UserID']

instead of the passing it through the query string?

Thanks for the reply.
Job done!
I just managed to understand sessions
This is what I need it (Sessions)
Thank you very much.
