How should I write the rule so that it looks like this? - php

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to convert url. It leads to the index page.
the constant I define
define("URL_PAGE", "page.php?p=");
link:
<a class="menu-link" href="'.BASE_URL.URL_PAGE.$row1['page_slug'].'">';
.htaccess
RewriteRule ^page/(.*)$/?$ page.php?p=$1 [NC,L]
result:
http://localhost/aione/page.php?p=about-us
I'm trying to catch the incoming link like this.
if(!isset($_REQUEST['p']))
{
header('location: index.php');
exit;
}
else
{
// Check the page slug is valid or not.
$statement = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM mbo_page WHERE page_slug=? AND status=?");
$statement->execute(array($_REQUEST['p'],'Active'));
$total = $statement->rowCount();
if( $total == 0 )
{
header('location: index.php');
exit;
}
}
How should I write the rule so that it looks like this? Your help is appreciated.
http://localhost/aione/page/about-us

This seems to be a trivial question.
Try this:
<a class="menu-link" href="'.BASE_URL.'page/'.$row1['page_slug'].'">';
Or, you can try this instead:
define("URL_PAGE", "page/");
Your .htaccess file needs to look something like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/*page/([^/]*)$ page.php?id=$1 [L,QSA] #If static R=301
</IfModule>
Place .htaccess in the same directory (i.e. folder) as page.php. (e.g. in http://localhost/aione/)
Notes:
^/*page/([^/]*)$ page.php?id=$1 only works with the following style: "http://localhost/aione/page/about-us", if you want something like about-us/test to also be passed as page.php?id=about-us/test, use the following rule:
^/*page/(.*)$ page.php?id=$1 also matches for something like "http://localhost/aione/page/about-us/test/link", and it will rewrite to: page.php?id=about-us/test/link, meaning the following:
$_GET['id'] === 'about-us/test/link'; // true
as always, remember to validate and sanitize any user input.
