I already create a .htaccess in my folder and would like to make the URL:
www.example/good/page
toward:
www.example/page?type=good
my current document is written as:
RewriteRule ^(\w+)$\/page page.php?type=$1 [NC,L]
but it didn't work, and I don't know how to check it is correct or not
would anyone able to provide some example for that?
thanks!
Make sure your rewite engine is on, and it is rewriting the base. Change your code like the following:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)/page?$ "page.php?type=$1" [L,QSA]
And then your rewrite rule must look like this.
The RewriteRule basically means that if the request is done that matches ^/?([^/]+)/page?$ (matches any URL except the server root), it will be rewritten as page.php?type=$1 which means a request for page.php be rewritten as page.php?type=good).
QSA means that if there's a query string passed with the original URL, it will be appended to the rewrite (example.com/good/page?id=2 will be rewritten as page.php?type=good&id=2.
L means if the rule matches, don't process any more RewriteRules below this one.
Try this and let me know. Accept the answer if it worked for you.

I got this url
/localhost/andalucia/productdetails.php?value=20
I want to change it to
/localhost/andalucia/productdetails/20
how do you do this and how will you get the value 20 in the handler page?
should I change the coding or I just add an ht access file?
If it is adding a ht access file what code should be in it?
How if I have more pages like:
/localhost/andalucia/product
/localhost/andalucia/home
/localhost/andalucia/contactus
Will they be affected automatically too?
ok i tried to use
RewriteRule ^productdetails/([0-9]+)$ productdetails.php?value=$1 [L,QSA]
but now the problem is all my pictures is gone in the html and i cant open the other page like
/localhost/andalucia/product
/localhost/andalucia/home
/localhost/andalucia/contactus
i need a htaccess code that can open all of these
/localhost/andalucia/product
/localhost/andalucia/home
/localhost/andalucia/contactus
/localhost/andalucia/productdetails/20
pls helpp someone
With the apache extension mod_rewrite it is really easy to transform your pretty URLs into the URLs needed by your script. This .htaccess example which you place in your web root should get you going:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^andalucia/productdetails/([0-9]+)$ /andalucia/productdetails.php?value=$1 [L]
This example will only rewrite andalucia/productdetails/NNNN... format URLs, all other URLs won't be affected. If you need to pass other query parameters, like /andalucia/productdetails/20?sort=asc you need to pass the QSA flag (query string append) to the rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^andalucia/productdetails/([0-9]+)$ /andalucia/productdetails.php?value=$1 [QSA,L]
The L flag will prohibit the evaluation of next rules. Just look up the mod_rewrite documentation for a in-depth discussion!
so I have this htaccess entry:
RedirectMatch /([a-zA-Z0-9]+).php /dirA/$1.php
The goal is that any .php that is on the root directory should be redirected to /dirA/*.php
eg. suppose I make the request
domain.com/something.php
it should instead redirect to
domain.com/dirA/something.php
However when I put that entry in my .htaccess file and then I go to domain.com/something.php
it instead returns
"The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for
this address in a way that will never complete."
Any idea how I can modify my htaccess to accomplish what I want to do?
Updated Question
Also is there a way to make it so that it only redirects if the file doesn't exist in the root directory...hence if x.php exists in root, serve that x.php otherwise redirect to dirA/x.php
mod_rewrite is an overkill for this, you were on the right track with RedirectMatch. Your rule, however, is a bit faulty: the regex /([a-zA-Z0-9]+).php matches all string that contain the specified substring, so it matches "/foo/bar/baz.php", but also "dirA/foo/bar.php" (and even "/foo/bar.php/baz.php"I. Your redirection ended up in an endless loop because there was no stop condition: /dirA/foo.php was redirected to /dirA/foo.php.
You can remedy the situation by using anchors in the regex:
RedirectMatch ^/([a-zA-Z0-9]+).php$ /dirA/$1.php
As for your second question: that might indeed call for mod_rewrite. Something along these lines should do the trick:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+).php$ /dirA/$1.php [R=301]
I haven't tested it, but this should get you started. Make sure to check out the manual for details, or just search around on SO, there are tons of questions about this.
Try this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+).php /dirA/$1.php [R=301,L]
This one should be just fine
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdir/$1
I have a URL that is like the following:
http://www.example.com/client/project/subdirectory/value/
I would like like a simple way to be able to change/redirect the URL to the following:
http://www.example.com/client/project/#/subdirectory/value/
Once the redirect is complete, the hash needs to be accessible via JavaScript. I'm okay with a full refresh/redirect, just ideally that I write this once and don't have to change it again.
In other words, when the site goes live, the URLs will be structured differently, so that:
http://www.example.com/subdirectory/value/
Will change to:
http://www.example.com/#/subdirectory/value/
Edit:
I have tried using this:
RewriteRule ^profile/?$ #/profile/ [ NC,L]
Which doesn't seem to do anything
Also tried this:
RewriteRule ^profile/?$ /#/profile/ [NC,L]
Which takes me to the root directory
Also tried this:
RewriteRule ^profile/?$ #/profile/ [R,NC,L]
Which adds the whole root path to the server, followed by /%23/profile/
If you have a URL like the following:
http://localhost/tests/redir/subdirectory/value/
And you want to get it redirected to:
http://localhost/tests/redir/#/subdirectory/value/
Place a .htaccess file into the directory of tests/redir with the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /tests/redir
RewriteRule ^(.*/)$ #/$1 [R,L,NE]
And you will get the wanted redirect. The R flag plays together with the RewriteBase directive. Also the NE flag is necessary so that you can put # literally into the redirect URI.
The hash is already used by page anchor tags. You might need to replace it with an entity or pick a better character.
If I have a URLhttp://www.domain.com/listing.php?company_id=1 is it possible for me to re-write that to http://www.domain.com/company-name by using that id to pull the name from the database.
Or do I have to change listing.php to make it ?company_name=company-name
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
Thanks!
A map function allows using no id in the url at all, while still using the id in the rewritten url to do the database lookup.
http://www.domain.com/another-one
maps to
http://www.domain.com/listing.php?company_id=3423
Here is how I use map text files, which I generate from a database query. I believe mod_rewrite also does mapping to a database directly, of which I'm unfamiliar (maybe someone can provide that answer). I use Helicon Tech's isapi_rewrite v3, which works like mod_rewrite, so this should work for you.
Sample map file named map_company.txt
some-company 12
another-one 3423
freds-fill-dirt-and-croissants 44
The rewrite rules:
RewriteMap map_company txt:map_company.txt [NC]
RewriteCond ${map_company:$1|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /listing.php?company_id=${map_company:$1} [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteMap assigns the map_company.txt text file to a variable named map_company (named the same just to be consistent).
RewriteRule is doing the work. It captures everything after the slash into $1, then rewrites it to your listing.php url. The ${map_company:$1} is looking up the url in the map file, and returning the id.
RewriteCond is just doing a double-check to see if the listing is there. The $1 is coming from the RewriteRule url, the NOT_FOUND is a default value if not found, and the condition is if it's not-NOT_FOUND (a little tangled - but it's just checking if it's in the file). If it's in the file, the RewriteRule will be run. If it's not in the file, it skips the RewriteRule, and falls through to more rules (perhaps to a page-not-found or some other default).
You'll need the id in both the urls, but only use the full name in the pretty link for the user.
The following would rewrite http://www.domain.com/42/company_name to http://www.domain.com/listing.php?company_id=42 and just discard the company name.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)/([A-Za-z0-9_]*)/$ /listing.php?company_id=$1 [L]
Note that a user could also visit http://www.domain.com/42/wrong_name and still land on the right page with the right company name. If this isn't desired you could change the rule to /listing.php?company_id=$1&company_name=$2 and check for equality in listings.php
I am pretty new to using the RewriteRule, so I am likely missing something obvious, but I have a PHP script that takes URL variables like this:
{baseurl}properties.php?prop=Property-Name
I would like to create RewriteRules so that anyone who types in this script name/variable combo would have their URL rewritten to:
{baseurl}/properties/Property-Name
As well as ensuring that anyone who types in the flat-link url, actually calls the script with the right variable name and value.
I have been referring to this link and I have found related threads:
Mod_rewrite flat links
Mod_rewrite trouble: Want to direct from ?= to a flat link, nothing seems to work
But, I am obviously doing something wrong, as I cannot get this URL to work the way I want. I am currently using the following code, which appears to do nothing (aside from rewriting the URL to include the www, and redirect requests for index.php to the site root):
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^baseurl.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.baseurl.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index.php / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^properties/([0-9A-Za-z]+)/$ /properties.php?prop=$1
The issue is clearly with the last RewriteRule, assuming nothing above is affecting it. Again, I am likely doing something ridiculous. Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.
At a quick glance, it appears that you forgot to include the dash in your regular expression and you included trailing slash. Use this instead:
RewriteRule ^properties/([0-9A-Za-z-]+)$ /properties.php?prop=$1
If you look at your rule ^properties/([0-9A-Za-z]+)/$ you see that it needs to end with a forward slash. You can either remove that or make it optional like ^properties/([0-9A-Za-z]+)/?$.
