.htaccess

[moviehive]

I am working on a homepage type extension and just wondering if there is someway of making the extension place a directoryindex code in the .htaccess or does that have to be done manually by each person who will use the extension?

You can write to the .htaccess file if you want.

So there's no way that when people install the extension it would put the code in the .htaccess file itself? Does it have to be done manually?

I wrote a long time ago something like this to have rules in .htaccess for a picture gallery.

Code: Select all

            $file = $phpbb_root_path.'/.htaccess';
            $fp = fopen( $file , 'r' );
            $content = fread( $fp , filesize($file) );
            fclose( $fp ); 
            
            $new = "# gallery\n";
            $sql = 'SELECT cid, title from ' . GALLERY_CATEGORIES_TABLE . ' WHERE title <> ""'; 
            $result = $db->sql_query($sql);
            while($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result))
            {
                $title = ereg_replace(' ', '_', $row['title']);
                $new .= "RewriteRule ^".$title."_foto([0-9_]*)-o([a-zA-Z_+]*)\.html$ /gallery.php?op=viewpic&cid=".$row['cid']."&start=$1&orderby=$2 \n";
                $new .= "RewriteRule ^".$title." /gallery.php?op=viewthumb&cid=".$row['cid']."\n";
            }
            $new .= "# /gallery";
            
            $new = ereg_replace ('(# gallery)(.*)(# /gallery)', $new, $content); 
            $new_file = $phpbb_root_path.'/.htaccess';
            $fp = fopen( $new_file , 'w' );     
            fwrite( $fp , $new );    
            fclose( $fp );

Rewrite it for 3.1 and put it in a function
