I have a PHP website site that uses GET variables to determine what it should be doing...
eg /index.php?s=about&p=2
It seems that I should be able to change this using rewrite rules so I could use URLs like:
/about/2
How can I get that behaviour?
You need to change all of your links to look like /about/2.
You need to adjust any relative links to be either absolute links or add this to the header of all your pages:
<base href="/">
Add these rules to the htaccess file in your document root to change the nice looking links back to the ugly links:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? /index.php?s=$1&p=$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/? /index.php?s=$1 [L]
Just so search engines can re-index your pages, you need to 301 redirect the old ugly ones to the nice looking ones by adding this to the same htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\?s=([^&]+)&p=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^index.php$ /%1/%2 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\?s=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^index.php$ /%1 [L,R=301]

Once my friend help me to solve this issue, I have written code like that. Where example.com/blog-detail?slug=slugvalue it goes to blog-detail.php and this url example.com/project?slug=test goes to project.php.
RewriteEngine ON
##Checking condition and getting matches in variables to be used while redirect in next rule.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s([^?]*)\?slug=(\S+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(?:[^/]*)/(.*)/?$ blog-detail.php?slug=$1 [QSA,L]
I think it's work for only blog-detail page now i face the issue with this url
https://www.example.com/project?slug=test, it redirect me to 404 page, could you help me here.
With your shown samples, attempts; please try following htaccess rules file. Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
I have added 2 solutions here, so either use 1st rules set OR use 2nd rules set ONLY ONE at a time please.
1st solution: With 2 different rules set for each php file please try following rules.
RewriteEngine ON
###Rules for blog-detail.php redirect and rewrite.
##Checking condition and getting matches in variables to be used while redirect in next rule.
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s(blog-detail)\?slug=(\S+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(?:[^/]*)/(.*)/?$ blog-detail.php?slug=$1 [QSA,L]
###Rules for project.php redirect and rewrite.
##Checking condition and getting matches in variables to be used while redirect in next rule.
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s(project)\?slug=(\S+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(?:[^/]*)/(.*)/?$ project.php?slug=$1 [QSA,L]
2nd solution: A Generic solution with capturing groups to deal with both kind of php files together.
RewriteEngine ON
###Rules for blog-detail.php OR project.php redirect and rewrite.
##Checking condition and getting matches in variables to be used while redirect in next rule.
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s([^?]*)\?slug=(\S+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/(.*)/?$ /$1.php?slug=$2 [QSA,L]
NOTE1: Please keep both your php files(project.php and blog-detail.php) should be kept along with your htaccess rules file.
NOTE2: For JS/CS rewrite/redirect:
You may need to use base tag to fix your js and other relative resources. If you are linking js files using a relative path then the file will obviously get a 404 because its looking for URL path. for example if the URL path is /file/ instead of file.html then your relative resources are loading from /file/ which is not a directory but rewritten html file. To fix this make your links absolute or use base tag. In the header of your webpage add this <base href="/"> so that your relative links can load from the correct location.
Friends, what is the right way to get both the php files to open friendly URL contents?
My current code works OK if I only use:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# SEO URL Settings
RewriteBase /site/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ post.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
but then I also need friendly URL for my categories so I tried to add:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ cat.php?cat=$1 [QSA,L]
but doing so only the post URL opens but category links redirect back to index.php but if you remove the rewrite for post than the cat.php contents shows.
If someone could help me out here would really appreciate your kindness.
This is because of your use of the [L] flag.
The [L] flag causes mod_rewrite to stop processing the rule set. In
most contexts, this means that if the rule matches, no further rules
will be processed. This corresponds to the last command in Perl, or
the break command in C. Use this flag to indicate that the current
rule should be applied immediately without considering further rules.
Documentation
Instead, try and have your rules laid out like this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ post.php?id=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ cat.php?cat=$1 [QSA,L]
I have paths like this:
mypage/blog/somestring1
mypage/blog/somestring2
mypage/blog/somestring3
I would like it if I go to mypage/blog/somestring1/page1 and it is not found it redirects back to: mypage/blog/somestring1. All I know is that the path begins with mypage/blog.
One thing to note is that I am using Drupal and these are nodes with these path aliases.
The rest can be anything. Is it possible to create this 301 redirect if not found in .htaccess?
You can use this rule in /.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(blog/[\w-]+)/[\w-]+/?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [L,NE,R=301]
I'm trying to allow my site to rewrite urls. I have put the following into my .htaccess file in the root directory.
RewriteEngine On
#would be nice to remove member-pages from the URL but no idea how.
#RewriteRule ^members/(.*)/?$ /$1 [NC,R]
#This part works though!
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ ./members/$1/ [L]
So far, it takes
mydomain.com/someUserName or mydomain.com/someUserName/ (with trailing slash) and, if it exists, will load the page at mydomain.com/members/someUserName/ without a hitch. This works like a gem.
What I want now (and am trying to do with the first rewrite rule) is to take a mydomain.com/members/someUserName or mydomain.com/members/someUserName/ and have it show up as mydomain.com/someUserName in the url.
How do I do this? Thanks in advance!
If I understand you correctly, You want to redirect domain.com/members/foo to domain.com/foo , You can use the following rule for that:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /memebers/([^\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ ./members/$1 [NC,L]
My site previously uses URL's like this: /folder/page
Previously, you could prepend 'panel' in the URL to edit the current page: /panel/folder/page
We upgraded our CMS, and the new URL to edit the page is in this format: /panel/#/pages/show/folder/page
I am trying to add a rewrite rule so that we can still use the old way, but can't get it to work:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/panel/#/
RewriteRule /panel(.*) /panel/#/pages/show/$1
Is there a way to do this? A 301 redirect should work too, I think.
Edit: here is my existing .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# make panel links work
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^panel/(.*) panel/index.php [L]
# make site links work
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php [L]
Since "panel" is already used, I ended up using this redirect rule:
RedirectMatch 301 /admin(.*) /panel/#/pages/show/$1
