[wp-hackers] Any alternative to $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] for SEO friendly URLs?..

[DD32]

It depends on where you're hooking in.

the wp_query vars are not loaded straight up, But if you're running on a
hook of some sort, something like this would work:


add_action('template_redirect', 'fff');
function fff() {
    $ident = md5(serialize($GLOBALS['wp_query']->query_vars));
}
Alternatively, You could base it off $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] which once WP
has started loading, should contain the current permalink structure (ie.
/posts/1234/blahblah-blah/) Concat that with $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] and
you'll have something that'll definately be unique:

$ident = md5($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])
