After your 200php tutorials its piece of cake for me, so if anyone have any problems with code, just check his 200 php tutorials, everything will make sense then, you will find errors much easier + change stuff that you actually like more.Great tutorials Alex, you're a good teacher :)

This reminds me of recently powering through all 8 seasons of Entourage. I have plans to go through this again when I am finished.
Thanks

I have skipped the section for email activation for now because I want to have my sites admin manually activate users, but I am finally to video 32, and after not catching the bat tics part the first 3 times i went at this and failing, I am psyched that i have made it this far.
i must say this is the best most complete tutorial on the web and if i ever have a spare $10 i will diffidently buy these videos, thank you so much alex, you are awsome!

At the end of the last line, add this:

[QSA, L]

This one worked for me.
If this was helpful, rate it so others could see it.

afternoon professor Alex i made a fresh pot of coffee and am about to start todays class :-D

on WAMP you need to enable rewrite_module for .htaccess to work
you can do it from the W icon-> apache->apache modules> rewrite_module

[THCButters]

for people running apache check your /etc/apache2/mods-enabled to see if rewrite.load is there if not try to copy it from the /etc/apache2/mods-available folder

Hey, I found another way to solve our problem with htaccess:
Just place (less than, the html sign)IfModule mod_rewrite.c(greater than) at the top and (less than)/IfModule(greater than) - at the end of it. I added [ L ] at the end of the line with RewriteRule . If necessary, get rid of the unneeded spaces (like the space between % and { ).
Don't forget to enable rewrite module :) All of this solved my problem, hope it will do for you too.

[gandlebot]

I can confirm that this worked for me. Thank you so much Osman Zort.

[OtaconAlonsus]

thanks for that.. I was stuck till I saw your comment.

[THCButters]

htaccess files are for apache servers, if your using iis7 you must use the iis URL rewrite module

[gravics]

I was having a problem with the internal server error. On the RewriteCond % lines, I had used parenthesis instead of curly brackets ' { ', ' } '; should be curly brackets. As mentioned by 'zerotechd1', make sure your rewrite_module is enabled also. Hope this helps.

Hi alex,
Loving the tutorials so far, great job!
The vanity url part is giving me a internal server error any ideas on why?
I'm using wamp

[AdamuAbubakar]

Thanks Alex, and I completely agree with you Lyle. Just awesome.

[xFusionzAJx]

Hey Alex, could you expand the profiles with merging these tutorials and visual upload and allow the user to create galleries and upload images ?

[dragankv]

-Wamp Server-
Click on the WampServer icon, select Apache, Apache modules
Scroll down until you see 'Rewrite_Module'
If there is no check mark before "rewrite_module" click on it to enable it. ;)

[Pitpalacu]

By the way, Alex. Is it possible to make a short series about the .htaccess file and how to configure it ? I think it's pretty important for any developer to know how to configure that file properly. Thank u again for all of this.

If you're getting the 500 Server error check this:

[johnpeterson]

Still here. Love the videos.
Question:
What if i dont want the profile page to have vanity url just be the regular profile.php file???
How do i do this?

[matthewkennedy]

$_GET is returning the whole url ie: domain(.)com/username so when I pass it into user_exists it always fails. I could probably trim the returned string in some way but I don't think that I should have to. I have been debugging this for 6 or 7 hours. Please help.
