mod_rewrite and GoDaddy

I really have only a fair idea of what I am doing. Sorry.



This is what I did to rewrite URLs like these: 





http://example.com/foo/bar/news/1-category-name/2-item-name

http://example.com/foo/bar/news/1-category-name


into these: 





http://example.com/foo/bar/news.php?newsID=2

http://example.com/foo/bar/news-categories.php?categID=1


respectively 





<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

  RewriteEngine on

  RewriteBase /foo/bar

  RewriteRule ^news\/([^\/]+)/([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)$   news.php?newsID=$3

  RewriteRule ^news\/([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)$            news-categories.php?categID=$1

</IfModule>


But whenever I try this URL: 





http://example.com/foo/bar/news/16-news-category-1/11-title


It always returns a 404 error:



The requested URL /foo/bar/news.html/16-news-category-1/11-title was not found on this server



Why is it trying to find news.html ? What am I doing wrong?



I don't know if this is relevant but example.com is virtual (I really don't know the term). The actual files can also be accessed via http://real-domain.com/qux/ . So you'd do http://real-domain.com/qux/foo/bar/news/1-category-name/2-item-name to get to 2-item-name .



Does it also help to say that this script actually runs on my development machine? 





Development:

   PHP v5.3.5

   Apache v2.2



Live:

   PHP v5.3.6

   Apache v2.2

    You this code in your .htaccess:

    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)-([a-z\-]+)-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)-([a-z\-]+)(\/?)$ /news.php?newsID=$4 [L,NC]
    RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)-([a-z\-]+)/([0-9]+)-([a-z\-]+)(\/?)$ /news.php?newsID=$3 [L,NC]

    RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)-([a-z\-]+)-([0-9]+)(\/?)$ /news-categories.php?categID=$1 [L,NC]
    RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)-([a-z\-]+)(\/?)$ /news-categories.php?categID=$1 [L,NC]


    so when someone goes to:

    news/11-category-12 or
    news/11-category-12/ or
    news/11-category or
    news/11-category/


    it goes to: news-categories.php?categID=11

    and when someone goes to:

    news/11-category-12/1-title or
    news/11-category-12/1-title/ or
    news/11-category/1-title or
    news/11-category/1-title/


    it goes to: news.php?newsID=1

    Also, make sure the .htaccess is at the root of the public_html folder as well of news.php and news-categories.php

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
