I am a newb to PHP. Can anyone tell me what each line does here. Do I need this? It is giving me errors
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /~([^/]+)/?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) /~%1/rewrite.php?p=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /~([^/]+)/?
RewriteRule ^index\.php?(.*)$ /~%1/rewrite.php?p=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
#there is no ~ character in the URL
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) ./rewrite.php?p=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php?(.*)$ ./rewrite.php?p=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
#WJ-180 fix
RewriteRule ^resume\.php?(.*)$ ./rewrite.php?p=resume\.php$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
If you are new, please read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html, it is explained very nicely.
p.s. Your title "What do these declarations mean in my PHP .htaccess file?" is incorrect, .htacces is not php file.
These say
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
"Only use the following rule if the request does not match an existing file or directory."
The simple answer: These declarations rewrite every request to a rewrite.php file.
The more comprehensive answer: The RewriteCond and RewriteRule directives are from the Apache module mod_rewrite and provide a rule based URL rewrite mechanism.
It seems that these rules are intended to rewrite every request to a rewrite.php file, either in a specific directory (/~foobar/rewrite.php) or in the root (/rewrite.php).
Those are mod_rewrite configuration entries.
It an Apache mod_rewrite rule. Unless you are using some sort of framework you probably don't need it. See Apache mod_rewrite for more info.

How can I rewrite URL (i.e. remove last / after test) using .htaccess on php page from
from www.example.com/test/?sku=23456&qty=3 to www.example.com/test?sku=23456&qty=3
from www.example.com/page2/?page=3&emp=543 to www.example.com/page2?page=3&emp=543
from www.example.com/stream/?start=4&id=tdfcs45s&q=sat to www.example.com/stream?start=4&id=tdfcs45s&q=sat
I tried but it doesn't work
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
With your shown samples and attempts please try following .htaccess rules file. We need to use THE_REQUEST variable here of apache. Check this if this helps you, also clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s(/test)/(\?sku=(\d+)&qty=\d+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1%2 [L]
I got my basic redirects work with the mod_rewrite module. When requesting pages e.g. localhost/home it's correctly redirecting to localhost/index.php?page=home, but I have a problem with exceptions.
I created a folder api where I store files by category e.g. api/auth/register.php and api/customer/create.php. I tried to make rewrite rule that contains 2 params (in this example auth and customer) so basically it just drops the .php off from the url.
The rule that I made is following
RewriteRule ^api/(.*)/(.*)/?$ api/$1/$2.php [L]
After adding that line to my .htaccess, problems started to occur. For example my .css and .js files started to redirect. So maybe I need to make some exeption for the apis? Have you some other ideas to improve my rewrite rules?
.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^api/(.*)/(.*)/?$ api/$1/$2.php [L] # problems started to occur after adding this line
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
Thanks in advance.
RewriteCond will affect only the first following RewriteRule so you need the keep them next to your initial Rule, and move the added one above them (with its own conditions).
Also, your /api rule is not strict enough ((.*) will pick anything, including the slashes), which might not matter in you case, but still. I sugest you try with this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^api/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ api/$1/$2.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
I am having problem in rewriting a url using .htaccess file. I am not aware of regex. I have red so many blogs and used online rewrite rule generator to generate url and pasted in .htaccess file. But no one is worked. I have enabled mod_rewrite module in httpd.conf file in apache server.
I want to rewrite a below url.
I have developed project in OS - Win7 with Apache server.
http://localhost:81/quora/tamilnanban/innerpage.php?url=why-you-should-avoid-watching-porn-on-android-smartphones
to
http://localhost:81/quora/tamilnanban/why-you-should-avoid-watching-porn-on-android-smartphones
my current .htaccess file contains below codes:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.*$ ./index.php
#RewriteRule ^url/([^/]*)\.html$ :81/quora/tamilnanban/innerpage.php?url=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/quora/tamilnanban/([^/]*)\.html$ /quora/tamilnanban/innerpage.php?url=$1 [L]
This above rule also not working. Kindly help me to achieve url rewriting using .htaccess file. Also if i am doing any mistakes in the above steps, please correct me. Thanks in advance.
To convert /quora/tamilnanban/innerpage\.php\?url=foobar" to /quora/tamilnanban/foobar you can use the following rules in /quora/tamilnanban/.htaccess :
RewriteEngine on
#1)Redirect "/quora/tamilnanban/innerpage\.php\?url=foobar" to "/quora/tamilnanban/foobar"#
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /quora/tamilnanban/innerpage\.php\?url=(.+)\sHTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /quora/tamilnanban/%1? [L,R]
#2)The rule bellow will internally map "/quora/tamilnanban/foobar"" to "/quora/tamilnanban/innerpage\.php?url=foobar"#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/?(.+)$ /quora/tamilnanban/innerpage\.php?url=$1 [L]
I'm using Wamp on my dev machine to develop a project. This is my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [L]
RewriteBase /project/
This is put in localhost/project, so that any requests like localhost/project/something , are routed to localhost/project/index.php/something
However, they are being routed to localhost/index.php/something
I suspect it has something to do with how I'm using RewriteBase. How do I fix it?
You need to remove the leading slash in your rule:
# no slash---------v
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1 [L]
Apache kind of guesses whether the targets of a RewriteRule is a URL-path or a file-path. When it starts with a slash, it assumes it's a URL-path and that it's absolute, so it'll go to the document root's index.php. Without the slash, it'll either guess a file-path or use the rewrite base to help determine which to use.
You should also move the RewriteBase directive above your rule.
Why not put the base in the rewriterule?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /project/index.php?$1 [L]
Edit:
This question might help you: htaccess RewriteBase
I have the following rewrite URL:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Rewrite all other URLs
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [PT,L]
Now I want to add an exception, that if the URL is something like mysite.com/abc it should ignore it and all things inside it also. mysite.com/abc/dfgs also should be excluded from this rewriting.
How can I accomplish this?
If /abc is an existing directory, you can put another .htaccess file in there with
RewriteEngine Off
If it's really just one string you want to not rewrite (whether it exists or not)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/abc
will not rewrite if the requested path starts with "/abc"
To test rewrite rules without messing up the site for regular browsers (not that you should be editing in a live environment of course, this is purely hypothetical :-) ), I've found the following very helpful:
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} 12.34.56.78 # <-- where that's your IP address
This should avoid rewriting if the URI contains abc. This may or may not be exactly what you want. If it isn't edit your question.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#Rewrite ONLY if the REQUEST does NOT contain abc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !abc
# Rewrite all other URLs
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [PT,L]
