I need to cut some part of URI, but I still need to pass it internally.
Ex: www.hostname.com/category/N-abcdef
To: www.hostname.com/category
But I need internally to do a redirect passing N-abcdef
If I put these rules, it work:
RewriteRule ^/category/N-abcdef$ /category [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/category$ /category/N-abcdef [PT]
But I was trying to do something more generic, because the N-.* is different for each category. I've tried these:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*)/(N-.*)/?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/(N-.*)/?$ /$1 [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /$1/%2 [PT]
These rules even remove the desired part (N-.*), But does not make the internal redirect correctly, as the reported result is not desirable.
In short, I need to hide the N-FOO URI.
Any suggestion?

I am looking to include a rewrite rule for the following but can't seem to get it to work. I don't want to pass any query string in but I need to add one to the rule.
I want this URL:
https://example.co.uk/vehicles/
to point to:
https://example.co.uk/search-results/?category=1
but keep the first URL in the address bar.
I need to pass in a variable called category with a value.
I tried the following but it didn't work for me:
rewriterule ^vehicles/$ search-results/?category=1 [NC, L]
Any help would be appreciated.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* ? [F,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.co.uk/$1 [R,L]
RewriteRule ^ad/(.*/)?([0-9]+)$ view-ad/?ad=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^vehicles/$ search-results/?category=1 [NC,L]
I managed to solve it. It was due to an Ajax load on the page.
Glad you solved your initial query, however, the following two directives in your posted .htaccess file will break your site, so presumably, these have already been removed?
RewriteRule .* ? [F,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.co.uk/$1 [R,L]
The first directive simply blocks all access to your site, returning a 403 Forbidden response. And the second directive will result in a redirect loop.
Now that it works is it possible to have another rewrite rule that does this https://example.co.uk/vehicles/?something=1 and rewrite to https://example.co.uk/vehicles/?category=1&appendsomething=1 but only display https://example.co.uk/vehicles/
I assume you mean https://example.co.uk/search-results/?category=1&something=1 (as opposed to /vehicles/) - where something=1 is appended on the end of the query string?
You wouldn't be able to make this "display as https://example.co.uk/vehicles/" - as this would conflict with your existing (working) directive.
However, you could potentially modify your existing directive to handle requests for /?something=1 and pass this through to the substitution. This would simply require the addition of the QSA flag (Query String Append). For example:
RewriteRule ^vehicles/$ search-results/?category=1 [QSA,NC,L]
The QSA flag results in the query string from the request being appended to the end of the query string specified in the RewriteRule substitution.
UPDATE: To redirect HTTP to HTTPS, you would need something like the following instead:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.co.uk/$1 [R,L]
Note the preceding RewriteCond directive - this ensures that only HTTP requests are redirected, not everything (HTTP and HTTPS), so avoiding a redirect loop. Ultimately this should also be a 301 (permanent) redirect, so you should change R to R=301, but only when you are sure it's working OK.
I have a trouble with two Rewriterule in my htaccess
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/([0-9]+)/?$ viewauthor.php?lg=$1&cat=$2&nameauthor=$3&id=$4 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/([0-9]+)/?$ viewbook.php?lg=$1&cat=$2&namebook=$3&id=$4 [NC,L]
I can't access to the second rewriterule cause it's similar.
to see which page I am on. I put echo $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; in those two page.
When I remove the flag [NC,L], I access to the second rewriterule but the lg=viewauthor.php instead lg=en.
You need a prefix to differentiate but you don't capture it, it's just used to match a rule:
RewriteRule ^author/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/([0-9]+)/?$ viewauthor.php?lg=$1&cat=$2&nameauthor=$3&id=$4 [B,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^book/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/([0-9]+)/?$ viewbook.php?lg=$1&cat=$2&namebook=$3&id=$4 [B,NC,L]
Now make your URLs like /author/foo/far/faz/1 and /book/boo/bar/baz/2. Note the addition of the B flags.
An existing page is called /foo/bar.php. What I have done is a rewrite so that when a user types /foobar, it load the contents of /foo/bar.php (while keeping /foobar in the url bar)
But I also want the opposite - when a user clicks on a link or types /foo/bar.php, I want to have /foobar in the url. The reason is to avoid manually changing all the links.
How could I do that (if possible without an http redirect, but via some rewrite magic)? And is it possible for those two rules to co-exist?
Edit - After the first response, I realized my description of the problem was not proper. /foobar is not supposed to be a concatenation of foo, bar of /foo/bar.php, but an arbitrary string (/whatever).
Edit 2:
I now added RewriteRule ^whetever/?$ /foo/bar.php [L] in the / .htaccess. Then I added RewriteRule bar\.php$ /whetever [R=302,L] in the /foo .htaccess. The problem is it 's a circular reference and fails.
Thanks,
John
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/foo/[^/]+\.php$
RewriteCond %{IS_SUBREQ} !true
RewriteRule ^/foo/([^/]+)\.php$ /foo$1 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/foo[^/]
RewriteRule ^/foo(.*) /foo/$1.php [L]
The first part matches /foo/something.php and transforms them into /foosomething, but only if it is not a sub-request.
The second part takes any /foosometing and transforms it into /foo/something.php, via sub-request
You can try matching against %{THE_REQUEST} and only do the redirect when the actual request is for the php file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /foo/bar\.php
RewriteRule bar\.php$ /whatever [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^whatever/?$ /foo/bar.php [L]
From my .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^showPAGE.php page [NC,R=301]
RewriteRule ^page showPAGE.php [NC,L]
I want users going to url domain.com/showPAGE.php to be redirected to domain.com/page .
When domain.com/page is being entered, I want it to show the content of the file showPAGE.php.
Is that possible to do?
The above results an infinite redirection loop.
Thanks
You're trying to do something that's very tricky. The problem is that, by design, the RedirectRule directive always triggers again the complete set of rules. You can only get out of the loop when you obtain a final URL that does not match any of the rules and that's the tricky part since you are reusing the showPAGE.php name.
My best attempt so far involves adding a fake hidden string:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/showPAGE\.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^internal
RewriteRule ^ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/page [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^page$ showPAGE.php?internal [NC,L]
It works but it's not pleasant. Definitively, it's easier to handle the redirection from with PHP or to simply pick another name.
The redirect from showPAGE.php to page needs to have [L] so that it will stop processing and redirect at once, rather than going on and applying other rules (which at once map it back to showPAGE.php). Try this:
RewriteRule ^showPAGE.php page [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^page showPAGE.php [NC,L]
I have a strange problem with mod_rewrite, the rules that are relevant here are:
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/igre\-(.*)\.php\?Page=([0-9]+)$ game.php?GameUrl=$2&Page=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/igre\-(.*)\.php$ game.php?GameUrl=$2&Page=1 [L]
And a corresponding URL might look something like this:
example.com/miselne-igre/igre-shirk.php?Page=2
example.com/miselne-igre/igre-shirk.php
The problem is that the first rule has no effect. If I use the first URL from the example I always get 1 into the Page variable, which shows that the second rule is used.
So what's wrong with the first one? And why is the second rule even matching a URL with ".php?Page=XYZ" at the end, if I said that the URL ends with ".php"?
ps: other rules in the .htaccess file are working fine...
The query string is not part of the URI path that is being processed by the RewriteRule directive. You have to use the RewriteCond directive to process the query string.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Page=[0-9]+$
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/igre-([^/]+)\.php$ game.php?GameUrl=$1&%0 [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/igre-([^/]+)\.php$ game.php?GameUrl=$1&Page=1 [L]
But you can still simplify this by using the QSA flag (query string append):
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/igre-([^/]+)\.php$ game.php?GameUrl=$1 [L,QSA]
mod_rewrite is not using the query in it's rewriting process. Therefor you first RewriteRule is ignored. You could combine it with a RewriteCond (haven't tested it though) like so:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Page=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/igre\-(.*)\.php\?Page=([0-9]+)$ game.php?GameUrl=$2 [L, qsappend]
# qsappend appends the original query, in this case (Page=xx)
Ah, like Gumbo said; you can also use %1 to back reference to the page numer.
Is it just me or are your arguments back-to-front?
Do you mean:
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/(.*)\-igre\.php\?Page=([0-9]+)$ game.php?GameUrl=$2&Page=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/(.*)\-igre\.php$ game.php?GameUrl=$2&Page=1 [L]
You wanted to match miselne-igre not igre-miselne.
Obviously this doesn't address the main issue, but thought I'd throw that in.
