so I'm trying to make a pretty URL using htaccess
I want to convert www.domain.com/r.php?id=123 to www.domain.com/r/123
I used this htaccess code to do it :-
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^r/([0-9]*)/([a-z]*)$ ./r.php?user=$1
However, on r.php, when I try to get the value of ID..I get
/Library/WebServer/Documents/ico/main/r.php:2:
array (size=0)
empty
Here;s my r.php file
<?php
var_dump($_REQUEST);
?>
What am I doing wrong in here?
If your link contains id then make sure in your .htaccess rewrite rule you are actually using id. So just follow this logic:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule whatever/r/(.*)script_name.php?id=$1 [L]

Hello everyone wondering if i can pick your brains and il be as descriptive as possible.
So i am trying to create a page that will load a title and category (dynamic from database) based upon the selection that is picked by the user
sitename used as my domain name
So to be a little clearer i have a file and variables named sitename/2017/slot.php?gp=category&sn=title
the category and title are stored in the database for each row what i want to do is make a clean URL to look like this sitename/2017/slot/category/title/
So when viewing the page like this sitename/2017/slot.php?gp=category&sn=title the page loads everything in and displays correctly and the variables are being set as i can see them in my title in the browser tab
my error comes when i use the mod rewrite to make it clean, once the .htaccess has been changed and uploaded and i navigate to the new clean URL sitename/2017/slot/category/title/ it shows me the variables havent been set as they no longer appear in the title tab of the browser and also the page doesnt use my css. Below i have added my htaccess rule, any help and feedback is greatfully appreciated
#change this sitename/2017/slot.php?gp=category&sn=title
#to this sitename/2017/slot/category/title/
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^slot/([a-z-]+)/([a-z-]+)/ slot.php?gp=$1&sn=$2 [NC,L]
just incase here is the php code im using in slot.php i am connecting to my database fine no issues there and after the code below im running a while loop to get out the data for the row the user clicked on
if($_GET['gp'] && $_GET['sn']){
$gp = preg_replace('#[^a-zA-Z-]#i', '', $_GET['gp']);
$sn = preg_replace('#[^a-zA-Z-]#i', '', $_GET['sn']);
}
here is the full code i have in my htaccess
#make custom page not found
#ErrorDocument 404 /filenotfound.php
#stop directory file listing in all folders
IndexIgnore *
#make pages have www. in them
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.org
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.org/$1 [R=permanent,L]
#change this slot.php?gp=category&sn=title
#to this sitename/2017/slot/category/title/
Options -MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^slot/([a-z-]+)/([a-z-]+)/ /2017/slot.php?gp=$1&sn=$2 [R=302]
If your URL starts with 2017 you must include it in your RewriteRule.
RewriteRule ^2017/slot/([a-z-]+)/([a-z-]+)/ slot.php?gp=$1&sn=$2 [NC,L]
You're misusing the ^, which matches the very start of the path (the part after sitename/. That is, a rule starting with ^slot/ will match only sitename/slot/, not sitename/2017/slot/. Your rule should look like this:
#change this sitename/2017/slot.php?gp=category&sn=title
#to this sitename/2017/slot/category/title/
RewriteRule ^2017/slot/([a-z-]+)/([a-z-]+)/ slot.php?gp=$1&sn=$2 [NC,L]
May I join the party?
RewriteRule ^sitename/2017/slot/([a-z-]+)/([a-z-]+)/ /slot.php?gp=$1&sn=$2 [NC,L]
If the sitename the domain name, I will change my answer to :
RewriteRule ^2017/slot/([a-z-]+)/([a-z-]+)/ /slot.php?gp=$1&sn=$2 [NC,L]
Which is almost the same as Dekel's, but not exactly :)
#example.com/2017/slot.php?gp=category&sn=title
#example.com/2017/slot/category/title/
You'll need to disable MutliViews. Near the top of your .htaccess file:
Options -MultiViews
With MultiViews enabled (part of mod_negotiation) /2017/slot is being implicitly rewritten to /2017/slot.php (without any query string paramaters) before your mod_rewrite directives are being processed.
Although it's still not clear where your .htaccess file is located. So, there may still be some work to do... If your .htaccess file is located at example.com/2017/.htaccess then your existing mod_rewrite directives should be sufficient.
However, if your .htaccess file is in the document root (ie. example.com/.htaccess) then you will need to modify your RewriteRule:
RewriteRule ^2017/slot/([a-z-]+)/([a-z-]+)/ 2017/slot.php?gp=$1&sn=$2 [NC,L]
I am trying to use mod_rewrite with variables. But Sometimes not all variables will show up. If I don't place every variable in the URL it 404 error's out.
I Have this so far:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^mypage\.([^/]*)?var1=([^/]*)&var2=([^/]*)&var3=([^/]*)$ /mypage.php?p=$1&$
But If i don't put all 4 of the variables it doesn't work. But I want the variables not to be in any certain order. Any Ideas?
My URL I want is http://myurl.com/mypage.home?var1=1&var2=2&var3=3&var4=4
Thank You
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^mypage/([^/]*)$ mypage.php?p=$1 [QSA]
worked
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^about/([^/.]+)/?$ about.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
I have a page use htaccess rewrite rule for url
/about/33
the page require $_GET['id'] to fetch db
however i have trouble to detect GET variable isset
if(isset($_GET['id'])){fetch data...}else{header("location:...");}
if user only enter /about/ without $GET['id'] the page will not found instead run header("location");
is anyway to solve this?
try this:
RewriteRule ^about/([^/.]*)/?$ about.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
Put * instead of +
I would like to make a rewrite rule to redirect to what the user has typed right after the main url, so no folder (like www.site.com/user1), I think that would mean to access $0 which doesn't work...
The rule I'm trying to use is:
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+) show-user.php?user=$0
But it does not work...
Any ideas?
Ok, new file and it's still wrong...
Full .htaccess file:
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+) test.php?var1=$1 [L]
full test.php file:
<?php
print_r($_GET);
?>
Ouput for domain/user1
Array ( [var1] => test )
It makes no sense :(
How can I make sure in php var1 will be user1 (as it should be) in the example above? I think the rewrite rule is wrong somehow...
The parameters are not 0-indexed
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+) show-user.php?user=$1
I'am redirecting about 100 hmtl pages to a single PHP page (example.php) using .htaccess. It is working perfectly.
I've pagination on that page (example.php) but I am using the original HTML page URL (example.html?page=2&limit=20)
so example.html, example1.html, example2.html, example3.html are all redirecting to example.php.
The address bar is still showing ".html" URL but due to .htaccess redirection the example.php is rendering.
when is click on a pagination link (example.html?page=2&limit=20) the browser address bar shows correct .html URL and query string.
I've tried to get the values of page, and limit using $_GET and $_REQUEST in (example.php) but i am not successful.
Please help me in reading the (example.html?page=2&limit=20) query string parameeters .
Edit Code ported from comments:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^page-(.*)$
RewriteRule ^page-(.*)$ size-content.php?sef=$1 [L]
Add the QSA flag, which means "query-string append" to be sure the existing query string is ported into the rewritten URL.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^page-(.*)$
RewriteRule ^page-(.*)$ size-content.php?sef=$1 [L,QSA]
.htaccess modify your server configuration.
if you are making redirection then you change your request.
Try mod_rewrite if you are using Apache of course.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^example\.html\?(.*) example.php?$1
Mod rewrite is module to Apache. It is not allowed on most free hostings.
Yasir - you can resolve this problem by two ways:
1) Re-write rules for .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^page-(.).html(.)/(.)$
RewriteRule ^page-(.).html(.)/(.)$ size-content.php?sef=$1&page=$2&limit=$3 [L]
This rule will handle: page-example.html?page=2&limit=20
I hope - you will easily understand the above rule.
Note: Keep one thing in your mind that every link should be in same pattern if you change rule in htaccess.
2) You can resolve this problem on your "size-content.php"
Suppose page-example.html?page=2&limit=20
$_GET['sef'] = example.html?page=2&limit=20 [according to you .htaccess]
Now you can parse this string via explode function
Thanks
