Now, the lookup php is nothing special... it basically has a serialized array at it's disposale that I built during the import of the old text file based data into the database saying 'that text file went into that row (id) in the database' [code]<?php function notFound() { header("Location: /search"); echo "404 - Not Found - you'll be redirected shortly"; // NN4 requires that we output something... die(); } if (!(is_numeric(@$_GET['archive']) && isset($_GET["thread"]))) notFound(); $strFilename = dirname(__FILE__) . '/archive.'. $_GET['archive']. '.dat'; if (file_exists($strFilename)) { if ($fh = fopen($strFilename,'rb')) { $t = fread($fh,filesize($strFilename)); fclose($fh); $threads = unserialize($t); $threadName = $_GET["thread"]. '.cgi'; if (!isset($threads[$threadName])) notFound(); else { header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"); header("Location: /{$threads[$threadName]}"); header("Connection: close"); die(); } } else notFound(); } notFound(); ?>[/code] Of course, you could also replace the 404 handler, and do some funky stuff there to refind whatever the user was looking for, and then issue a 301... so long, ->Tyberius Prime Loading...
