Url Rewriting like WordPress

Post Views: 6,468

Hello Friends, Today I am going to share a code for Url rewriting like WordPress do. I have taken help to develop this code from WordPress codex link mentioned below:-

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.2/src/wp-includes/class-wp-post-type.php#L532
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.2/src/wp-includes/class-wp-matchesmapregex.php

Actually, these days I am developing CMS in which I was required to do Url rewriting code. So to do Url Rewriting like WordPress I have googled and researched on WordPress codex. Now Here is the final code..

config.php

<?php
include_once 'matches.php';

define("SITE_URL", "http://localhost/urlrewriting");
$rewrite = array();
        
function updateSlugForRewrite(&$items, $parentId = "0", $parentItem = array()) {
    // Parent items control
    $isParentItem = false;
    foreach ($items as $item) {
        if ($item['parent'] == $parentId) {
            $isParentItem = true;
            break;
        }
    }

    // Prepare items
    if ($isParentItem) {
        foreach ($items as &$item) {
            if ($item['parent'] == $parentId) {
                $item['slug'] = isset($parentItem['slug']) ? ($parentItem['slug'] . "/" . $item['slug']) : $item['slug'];
                updateSlugForRewrite($items, $item['id'], $item);
            }
        }
    }
}

    //adding additional rules in array at the top

Note: Here RewriteBase and RewriteRule starts with “/urlrewrting/“, because the all code is in urlrewriting directory but you can change it to “/“, if you put your code in www directory in case of LAMP, WAMP or MAMP htdocs in case of XAMPP or public_html in case of hosted on server.
