PHP/TPL Link Opens up As File Not Page

[CarraraWebsiteSolutions]

Hello.

I have a small issue trying to work out.

I am using php and tpl files for my website. tpl are my template files and php my running files.

think link here opens up as a file when ever i click on it does not go to the page. TPL is a html and php page.

http://www.********.com/template/contact/contact.tpl

not sure what to do on the php side of things. home.tpl works fine just not reading the link.

Your link is broken.

It sounds like the PHP parser is not being invoked. For .php files, this is unusual (unless your web host does not support php).

PHP files with a .tpl extension should work fine if they are included via PHP. Such files aren’t generally intended to be accessed directly.

Invoking the PHP parser can usually be done via your .htaccess file:

AddHandler php5-script .php .tpl

However, you should ask your web host before trying anything.

changed it back to php and put base in head now pick up file but here there away to make it only show /contact.php rather than /template/contact/contact.php

I was looking in to rewrite for php but not sure best way to approach it

Write “contact.php” in your URLs

<a href="/contact.php">Contact Me</a>

then use .htaccess to rewrite the requests to point at the correct location:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^contact.php$ /template/contact/contact.php

here is what I have done

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php52 .tpl

    RewriteEngine On 
    RewriteRule ^contact.php$ /mail/contact.php

If I wanted to add another link just add

RewriteRule ^about.php$ /info/about.php

Would I need to put RewriteCond or base?

when have click send button and refresh it show up the old link on mail/contact.php

Assuming that’s the correct path, then yes.

If you’re going to have multiple rewrite rules where only one will (or should) apply, you should add the [L] flag (meaning “Last rule”) to the rule so Apache doesn’t bother to continue parsing unnecessarily:

RewriteRule stop/rewriting /if/this/rule/matches [L]

Would I need to put RewriteCond or base?

RewriteCond: is your rule conditional? If so, yes. If not, no.

RewriteBase: do you need to add a common base path to your rewrites? If so, yes. If not, no.

when have click send button and refresh it show up the old link on mail/contact.php

Meaning it doesn’t redirect?

Did you follow this part?

Write “contact.php” in your URLs

I am trying to make a template system just modifying some files so I can click on install and it installed db for me

sort of worked it out here sample php code

function write_config_files($options) {
    $output  = '<?php' . "\n";
    $output .= '// HTTP' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'HTTP_SERVER\', \'' . $options['http_server'] . '\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'HTTP_IMAGE\', \'' . $options['http_server'] . 'image/\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'HTTP_ADMIN\', \'' . $options['http_server'] . 'admin/\');' . "\n\n";

    $output .= '// HTTPS' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'HTTPS_SERVER\', \'' . $options['http_server'] . '\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'HTTPS_IMAGE\', \'' . $options['http_server'] . 'image/\');' . "\n\n";

    $output .= '// DIR' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DIR_APPLICATION\', \'' . DIR_CUSTOMWEB . 'catalog/\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DIR_SYSTEM\', \'' . DIR_CUSTOMWEB. 'system/\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DIR_DATABASE\', \'' . DIR_CUSTOMWEB . 'system/database/\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DIR_LANGUAGE\', \'' . DIR_CUSTOMWEB . 'catalog/language/\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DIR_TEMPLATE\', \'' . DIR_CUSTOMWEB . 'catalog/view/theme/\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DIR_CONFIG\', \'' . DIR_CUSTOMWEB . 'system/config/\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DIR_CACHE\', \'' . DIR_CUSTOMWEB . 'system/cache/\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DIR_LOGS\', \'' . DIR_CUSTOMWEB . 'system/logs/\');' . "\n\n";

    $output .= '// DB' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DB_DRIVER\', \'mysql\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DB_HOSTNAME\', \'' . addslashes($options['db_host']) . '\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DB_USERNAME\', \'' . addslashes($options['db_user']) . '\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DB_PASSWORD\', \'' . addslashes($options['db_password']) . '\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DB_DATABASE\', \'' . addslashes($options['db_name']) . '\');' . "\n";
    $output .= 'define(\'DB_PREFIX\', \'' . addslashes($options['db_prefix']) . '\');' . "\n";

this seems completely unrelated to the issue we were discussing…?

[CarraraWebsiteSolutions]

What I mean is instead of using rewrite rule I am modifying a template system to work with tpl and that lets me connect to db.
