The requested url is http://localhost/views/items?item=abc I want to rewrite it to http://localhost/views/myfile.php?reqtype=items&item=abc please note that the last keyword of url before query items I want to move to query section as reqtype=items to get this I wrote below code in .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)$
RewriteRule ^views/(.*)$ views/myfile.php?reqtype=$1&%1 [L,NE]
This code is working well when I tests here verified its output (from this link) by directly pasting in browser as URL worked well. but with xampp (my version is 7.1.28) it is not working. Remember url-rewriting is working for other type of conditions ( means apache configuration is correct and working ) but this particular example is not working, Any solution will be appreciated, Thanks.
Could you please try following, written and tested with shown samples. Please make sure you clear your browser cache before testing your URLs. NOTE that here condition RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$ is very important to stop looping else it will be keep redirecting. I have checked these rules by curl command and they work fine.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/views/(items)\?([^\s]*)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ views/myfile.php?reqtype=%1&%2 [NE,L]

Im trying to rewrite url from long to short but cant wrap my head around this.
My survey rewrite works wonderfully but after completing my survet php redirects to www.example.com/survey_thank_you.php?survey_id=1
but I would like to show url like www.example.com/thank_you
Im not even sure if this is possible.
Im new with .htaccess and i have tried almost everthing
.htaccess
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^survey_thank_you.php?survey_name=([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/?$ Thank_you [L,NC,QSA]

Any help or directions will be highly appreciated.

You need to "correct" the URL that PHP is redirecting you to after the survey. If the desired URL is /thank_you (or /Thank_you?) then PHP should be redirecting to that URL.
You then use mod_rewrite in .htaccess to internally rewrite /thank_you back into the URL that your application understands. ie. /survey_thank_you.php?survey_id=1. However, therein lies another problem, where does the 1 (survey_id) come from in the query string? Presumably you don't want to hardcode this? So this would need to passed in the requested URL. eg. /1/thank_you or perhaps /thank_you/1?
However, is this really necessary? The resulting "thank you" page is not a page that should be indexed or a page that is normally navigated to by the user, so implementing a user-friendly URL here doesn't seem to be a worthwhile exercise?
RewriteRule ^survey_thank_you.php?survey_name=([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/?$ Thank_you [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/?$ survey_form.php?survey_name=$1 [L,NC,QSA] #works like charm.
You are using a survey_name URL parameter (referencing an alphanumeric value) in your directives, but a survey_id ("numeric"?) URL parameter in your earlier example? So, which is it? Or are these rules unrelated?
You state that the second rule "works like charm", but how? What URL are you requesting? That would seem to rewrite /Thank_you to survey_form.php?survey_name=Thank_you - but that does not look correct?
As mentioned in comments, the RewriteRule pattern matches against the URL-path only. To match against the query string you need an additional condition that matches against the QUERY_STRING server variable. This would also need to be an external 3xx redirect, not an internal rewrite (in order to change the URL that the user sees). Therein lies another problem... if you don't change the URL that your PHP script is redirecting to then users will experience two redirects after submitting the form.
You also need to be careful to avoid a redirect loop, since you are internally rewriting the request in the opposite direction. You need to prevent the redirect being triggered after the request is rewritten. ie. Only redirect direct requests from the user should be redirected.
So, to answer your specific question, it should be rewritten something like this instead:
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^survey_name=[0-9a-zA-Z]+/?$
RewriteRule ^survey_thank_you\.php$ /Thank_you [QSD,R,L]
The check against the REDIRECT_STATUS environment variable ensures that only direct requests are processed, not internally rewritten requests by the later rewrite. REDIRECT_STATUS is empty on the initial request and set to the string 200 (as in 200 OK status) after the first successful rewrite.
The QSD flag (Apache 2.4) is necessary to discard the original query string from the redirect response.
So the above would redirect /survey_thank_you.php?survey_name=<something> to /Thank_you.
But this is losing the "survey_name" (or survey_id?), so should perhaps be more like the following, in order to preserve the "survey_name":
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^survey_name=([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/?$
RewriteRule ^survey_thank_you\.php$ /%1/Thank_you [QSD,R,L]
Where %1 is a backreference to the value of the survey_name URL parameter captured in the preceding CondPattern.
However, you would then need to modify your rewrite that turns this back into an understandable URL.
(But you should probably not be doing this in the first place without first changing the actual URLs in the application.)
I want to redirect
https://www.example.com/signup?plan=basic to https://www.example.com/signup?plan=basic-monthly and https://www.example.com/signup?plan=pro to https://www.example.com/signup?plan=pro-monthly .
How can I achieve this using htaccess ?
There are many questions related to this here. But, couldn't find an answer for this specific scenario.
This is the code I tried and failed:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)plan=pro(&|$)
RewriteRule ^signup /$0?plan=pro-monthly [R=301,L]
Also, while trying the same with "basic" instead of "pro", the word "basic" i shown in red color as if it is a keyword.
Could you please try following, written with shown samples. Please make sure you clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(plan=(?:basic|pro))$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(signup)/?$ $1?%1-monthly [L]
2nd solution: Or you could try following too. Make sure you either put 1st solution rules OR this one at a time.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/(signup)\?(plan=(?:basic|pro))\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1?%2-monthly [L]
I have this url http://www.example.com/Courses/get/38789/my-course, i added this rule to the .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Courses/get
RewriteRule ^Courses/get/(.*)/(.*)$ course-$1-$2 [R=301,L]
but when i go to http://www.example.com/Courses/get/38789/my-course nothing happens, i stay on the same page, there is no redirect.
p.s the link is just an example not the actual link
A more efficient method would be to use the following:
RewriteRule ^Courses/get/(\d+)/([^/]+)/?$ /course-$1-$2 [R=301,L]
Now, keep in mind that this rule should come before any rules that may rewrite the request to, say, an index.php file. This would be naturally true if the code you posted in your question was all of your code. If not, please post your entire .htaccess file so we can be sure it is being placed in the right location.
Be sure the mod_rewrite is turned on, and the you have set AllowOverride All in your virtual host/Apache site configuration. If you're running on a shared production server, this would not apply to you.
Side note: Whilst it does work, you need not use RewriteEngine on twice - only once at the beginning of your file will suffice. You also do not need RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Courses/get - it is essentially redundant as you are already using an expression to test against the request.
I want to realize something like this:
When someone opens a browser and access http://www.example/controller.php directly, then the request will be redirected to the error page. However, if a user clicks a link with http://www.example/controller.php on my website, the request will be redirected to http://www.example/controller
To do so, I write the following rewriterule in .htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/controller\.php
RewriteCond %[HTTP_REFERER] ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/controller/error [R,L]
But unfortunately RewriteCond %[HTTP_REFERER] ^$ is not matched. My all other rewriterules are working fine. To discard the side effect of other rewriterules, I delete all the other rules but it still doesn't work.
So I guess maybe %[HTTP_REFERER] is not empty when a url is directly accessed from the browser. Then I write the following rule right before the rewriterule above:
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.google.com/?referer=%{HTTP_REFERER} [R=301,L,QSA]
And this redirects to https://www.google.com/?referer=
So %[HTTP_REFERER] is well and truly empty.
I completely have no idea now, and any advice is greatly appreciated.
I am currently trying to redirect all frontend pages on a Magento install to a specific page, however when I do this, I can no longer gain access to the Magento back office. I have tried the following, but it doesnt appear to work, it still redirects everything.
Any help would be much appreciated.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php/admin/
RewriteRule ^(.*) new-url [R=301,QSA,L]
Can you try this as your first rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/admin/
RewriteRule ^ new-url [R=301,L]
Make sure to test in a new browser.
