I am trying to rewrite URLS so that /foo -> index.php.
index.php is powered by codeigniter 3.
bar.php is a stand alone php file.
This is a snipped from my .htaccess:
//Test 1. Bar.php displayed. This works as exptected.
RewriteRule ^/?foo1/?$ /bar.php [QSA,L]
//Test 2. Redirects succesfully to index.php. Works as expected.
RewriteRule ^/?foo2/?$ /index.php [R=301,QSA,L]
//Test 3. Goes to codeigniter 404 page and does NOT display the homepage.
Does not work as expected
RewriteRule ^/?foo3/?$ /index.php [QSA,L]
Why does Test 3 not display as expected? There is something in my codeigniter code that doesn't work when trying to rewrite URLS. Any ideas how to fix this? Is there a workaround?
Full disclosure: the long term aim is to be able to have a URL with structure like this:
example.com/foo1/foo2/foo3/?query1=xxxx&query2=yyyy
rewrite to
example.com/bar/bar1.php?queryA=foo2&queryB=foo3&query1=xxxx&query2=yyyy
Can this be "easily" done within the codeigniter framework (route.php) rather than htaccess? From a development time perspective, just getting it to work via .htaccess would be the preference.
Take a look at https://gist.github.com/keithmorris/3023560
This includes a fairly standard htaccess file that I use on all my projects. You then use the CI routing functionality to define where different bits go.
Bear in mind with CI you can pass additional elements in a url such as example.com/foo1/foo2/foo3/query1/query2.

I am developing a website, however I am trying not to have the unattractive url being displaced example instead of : /my_project/master_page.php?page=home and would like to display /my_project/project/welcome and so on, I am trying to achieve this by using mod_rewrite and .htaccess in the site's root directory.
The code is as follows below:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^project/([^/\.]+)/?$ master_page.php?page=$1 [L]
However I must add I do need some major assistance in achieving this, Thank You.
I have a magento website, that is currently operating. Within a subfolder of this site, I have placed a 3rd party application that also has its own HTACCESS file to handle routing for its application.
When I access the folder http://example.com/somefolder the screen I expect shows up, but when I navigate to http://example.com/somefolder/newroute, I instead land on a magento 404 screen.
I have traced this to the magento htaccess file, in all cases, unlesss the path physically exists the rewriterule will always send the request to the index.php - this explains why Im getting there.
To fix this issue, I wrote a little rewriterule which I placed in the htaccess file of the magento store. The goal was to add an exception to any request that came through and contained any reference to my subfolder. The thought is now it should hit the path its supposed, then hit the htaccess file, and then route me to where IM supposed to be in this other application. Unfortunately it doesnt seem to work, after adding the rule I end up the same place - magento.
Here is what I've written:
RewriteRule ^(.*somefolder.*)$ $1 [L]
Im not sure what could be going wrong, as I think the approach seems pretty straight forward. Any ideas on how to remedy this situation?
Thanks.
Here is Your Simple Answer.Also Used By me on my site.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(yourfoldernameHERE)$
I am using a MVC and on my application file, I am routing this way :
# Routing
$routing = array(
'([a-zA-Z]+)\/?' => array('Post', 'view')
);
framework::routing($routing);
It means that all the URLs like "mysite.com/anything/" will be routed to the same template but with different content. Until then, everything is okay.
My problem is that I would like to make an exception for that,
because I want to access my page "mysite.com/uploads" directly into the browser, but I am redirected, due to the routing php stuff.
Is there a way to make an exception to this routing? Like route all names excepted "upload" ?
I can submit the routing file, but since it's almost the same than codeigniter maybe you won't need it really.
Thanks
Seeing that your urls don't contain the index.php part anymore, I guess that you added an .htaccess file to do that, probably one that looks like this (straight from the codeigniter docs):
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
If this is that case and the uploads folder is in the same folder as the root index.php file of codeigniter, you should change the second line to:
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|uploads|robots\.txt)
But this all depends on your specific configuration.
EDIT: Altough it seems that you aren't using CodeIgniter, the same applies to Zend Framework MVC. You should make an exception to the rewrite rules to allow direct access to your upload directory.
I just inherited a website built in PHP. The main page of www.mysite.com has a href to www.mysite.com/index/35.html somewhere in the page. In the site's root directory and its children there is no document 35.html.
The number 35 is actually an id found in a DB which also holds the html contents of the page.
If I load URL: www.mysite.com/index.php?id=35 the same page loads.
How does PHP know how to automatically convert
/index/35.html
to
/index.php?id=35
EDIT
Based on the answers, I have found a .htaccess file containing rewrite instructions that would explain the functionality.
However, IIS doesn't seem to (or is not configured) know how to use this. (probably because this is an Apache feature?)
So this begs the following question: Is there a way to configure IIS to work with this?
it will be done usign URL Rewriting using .htaccess - should be in the webroot.
It may look something like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
May have other bits, but what this basically tells apache is to send anything that DOES NOT physically exist to index.php
It doesn't. There is a mod_rewrite rule that rewrites from /index/foo to /index.php?id=foo, either in a .htaccess file somewhere or in the httpd configuration itself.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index/([\d]+)\.html /index.php?id=$1 [NC,L]
This is off the top of my head. Any browsers trying to load an address starting with index/ has any number ending in .html will be internally redirected to index.php?id= whatever the number is.
Edit: Just saw that your working on IIS. This probably won't work for you. Sorry.
I think you will be using .htaccess to redirect all requests to index.php. From there You can pass the query string a routing class, which will parse the url and identify the unique ids.
In this case we can say like, your routing class will parse the request /index/35.html to indexController, indexAction, id=35. now you can pass this id to the model to get corresponding page contents
NB : Here I a am assuming you are using mvc pattern. Anyway it can be treated in your own way, with the concept remaining the same. Hope this make sence.
I'm writing my own url shortener. I'm done with everything such as creating short urls. But when I try to browse htt p://example.com/rtr93, I get a 404 error. But http://example.com/index.php/rtr93 works find and shows the relevant page (I'm not redirecting to a new url. I'm just getting the relevant record from database which has a column short_url).
I'm using PHP and syfmony 1.2 if that helps. I think I need to properly setup .htaccess file. But I don't know where to get started.
Something like this should work:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php [L]
You may want to make the regex more specific if you're planning on hosting other things on the same domain.
