I am trying to translate my URL, depending on the language selected by the user, e.g.:
www.example.com/en/discover or
www.example.com/fr/decouvrir
Obviously I want the two URL to point to the same page (where PHP handles the translation with a dictionary). I was wondering if there was a smart way in the htaccess file to do this "automatically" without having the write the rule for all the pages? For the moment I would do
RewriteRule ^en/discover$ discover.php?lang=en [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^fr/decouvrir$ discover.php?lang=fr [NC,L]
but this solution is not really the easiest if there are a lot of pages and if I want to add another language.
Thanks a lot for your help
You should pass all arguments to single php file (dispatcher), whitch would translate route and then include needed file. Something like:
.htaccess
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ index.php?lang=$1&include=$2 [NC,L]
PHP
// This is really bad code, just an example
$dictionary = array(
'en' => array(
'discover' => 'discover'
),
'fr' => array(
'decouvrir' => 'discover'
)
);
echo $dictionary[$_GET['lang']][$_GET['include']];

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/?$ news.php?newstype=$1&newsid=$2&newstitle=$3 [L,QSA,NC,B]
My <a> tag is looks this:
$seoUrl = "$urlNewsType/$newsid/$urlNewsTitle/";
$seoUrl = urldecode($seoUrl);
$seoUrl = html_escape($seoUrl, 'UTF-8');

These every things are working for me. But my question is, I need to get these query string parameters separately from URL into PHP. Problem is I can't get these prameters as I do usually.
In php, This is the output of:
echo '<pre>',print_r($_GET).'</pre>';
Array
(
[newstype] => news/1114
[newsid] => Presentation: Heath+Day+in+2018
[newstitle] =>
)
Can anybody tell me, what is the wrong which I have done in this regard?
The regex pattern (.*) is greedy. It matches the full requested path. Try ([^/]+) instead :
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ news.php?newstype=$1&newsid=$2&newstitle=$3 [L,QSA,NC,B]
I'm building an events website, in all my websites i do the following logic:
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^new/event?(/)?$ controller.php?page_name=new-event [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^get-event/([^/]+)?(/)?$ controller.php?page_name=get-event&event_id=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^event/([^/]+)/([^/]+)?(/)?$ controller.php?page_name=event&event_id=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^event-edit/([^/]+)?(/)?$ controller.php?page_name=event-edit&event_id=$1 [QSA,L]
// this below line to handle all links that do not apply to the above rules, is this wrong?
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)?(/)?$ controller.php?page_name=$1 [QSA,L]
The last line is to handle all URLs that don't have anything other than the page name, like those:
www.example.com/event-submit/
www.example.com/about/
www.example.com/contact/
Because I made a controller.php file that handles all the requests depending on the page_name value.
But this is not working with this new site, here's what i get:
when I request any URL belonging to this site, the browser just hangs and takes forever, sometimes the page loads but after like 5 minutes.
I have no idea why! (It works on all my other websites!)
Am I doing anything wrong? I have searched a lot and nothing is working.
EDIT
This is controller.php: (it just checks for page_name if it's allowed and then includes it)
<?php
session_start();
define('__SITE_ROOT__', dirname(__FILE__));
define('__HELPERS__', __SITE_ROOT__ . '/' . 'helpers');
define('__APP__', __SITE_ROOT__ . '/' . 'app');
$page_name = strip_tags($_GET['page_name']);
$allowed_pages = array(
'index',
'about',
'contact',
'new-event',
'event-edit',
'get-event',,
'404'
);
class Controller{
public $page_name = 'index';
public $allowed_names = array();
}
$controller = new Controller();
$controller->allowed_names = $allowed_pages;
$controller->page_name = $page_name;
if(in_array($controller->page_name, $controller->allowed_names))
{
$page_real_name = $controller->page_name . ".php";
}else{
$page_real_name = "404.php";
}
include(__APP__ . '/' . $page_real_name);
// this below line to handle all links that do not apply to the above rules, is this wrong?
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)?(/)?$ controller.php?page_name=$1 [QSA,L]
This rule would create a rewrite-loop (500 error), since the regex ^([^/]+)?(/)?$ would also match controller.php (the URL being written to) and you don't appear to have anything that would otherwise prevent this?
You could resolve this my adding a dot to the character class, so it won't match the dot in .php. For example:
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)?/?$ controller.php?page_name=$1 [QSA,L]
You don't need to surround the last / in parentheses.
(I'm assuming the // comment is just in your question, since that is syntactically invalid. Comments are delimited with #.)
the browser just hangs and takes forever, sometimes the page loads but after like 5 minutes.
However, the above doesn't quite explain this behaviour, unless maybe LimitInternalRecursion is set very high in your server config?! (Default is 10)
I'm looking for help on setting up routes in CakePHP3.4.6 where
urls are variable. For instance, I want the following urls:
/California/Posts/view/Skateboard/Jan2nd/10
/Texas/Posts/view/Truck/Feb10th/35
to connect to
/Posts/view/10
/Posts/view/35
respectively. When doing so, I need the URLs preserved in the browser.
(i.e. browser URL shows /California/Posts/view/Skateboard/Jan2nd/10 while content is served for /Posts/view/10)
Can this be done through configuring routes.php?
Any advice will be most appreciated.
I tried using rewrite rules in webroot/.htaccess such as:
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/Posts/view/[^/]+/[^/]+/(\d+)$ /Posts/view/$1 [L]
But this just ends up in 404 errors. The pattern match seems to be correct as the following rule works:
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/Posts/view/[^/]+/[^/]+/(\d+)$ http://www.google.com [L]
Thanks,
Managed to figure this out.
$routes->connect('/:state/Posts/view/:title/:date/:id',
['controller' => 'Posts', 'action' => 'view'],
['id' => '\d+', 'pass' => ['id']]
Did the job
How can I rewrite url from this:
https://www.domain.com/blog/category/sub-category-name
to this:
https://www.domain.com/blog/category/?category=sub-category-name
also it must work with others parameters like:
https://www.domain.com/blog/category/sub-category-name?param=value => https://www.domain.com/blog/category/?category=sub-category-name¶m=value
or
https://www.domain.com/blog/category/sub-category-name#hash => https://www.domain.com/blog/category/?category=sub-category-name#hash
I don't understand this rewrite syntax so any advice is valuable.
Thanks
You can use this rule :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^blog/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /blog/$1/?$1=$2 [QSA,NC,L]
Additional Query perameters are automatically appended to the target path by QSA flag.
Hi I need some help with mod_rewrite.
I would like to change this kind of URL
127.0.0.1/app/controller/<anyName1>/<anyName2>.php?firstParam=1&secondParam=text&...&nParam=nSomething
to 127.0.0.1/anyName1/anyName2/1/text/.../nSomething
Could you give me any example how to do that?
You can save yourself a lot of stress by not trying to modify anything beyond /<anyName1>/<anyName2>/ with mod_rewrite. Dynamically mapping path components to query variables requires some very funky recursive voodoo magic.
Instead grab only /<anyName1>/<anyName2>/, append the rest of the path to the redirect, and then use PHP to parse the path:
.htaccess
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/app/controller/[^/]+/[^/]+\.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?(.*)$ /app/controller/$1/$2.php/$3 [L]
PHP
$components = array_filter(explode('/', $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']), 'strlen');
echo '<pre>';
print_r($components);
echo '</pre>';
Output:
Array
(
[1] => 1
[2] => text
[3] => ...
[4] => nSomething
)
