First, I know how to rewrite a URL like example.com/test.php?id=1.
What I dont know is how to remove the test.php part of the url so that the new url is called:
example.com/1/
I hope someone know how to do that, and yes, I've read a hundreds of SO items about it.
Thanks
I'm not sure what you mean by removing if you are about to rewrite old one into new one.
For example you can do it this way:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule tag/s/(.*) test.php?id=$1 [L]

I'm very new to htaccess and mod_rewrite things, so please forgive me the possibly stupid question :-)
I have a Links like that on my menu
teams/senioren/herren-1
teams/senioren/damen-1
etc.
and I want to redirect it to
team.php?team=herren-1
team.php?team=damen-1
My htaccess looks like that:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^teams/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ team.php?team=$2 [L,QSA]
That works on localhost when I click the link one time. The URL then gets https://localhost/teams/senioren/herren-1. But when I click a second time I get https://localhost/teams/senioren/teams/senioren/herren-1. So it looks like it appends the new URL to the old one.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you
Solution: Use absoluth Path like arkascha mentioned in the comments.
So in my case use /teams/senioren/herren-1 instead of teams/senioren/herren-1
I have got different pages in my website(portal) which may take one or more parameters from the URL.
So the URL www.example.com/xyz has to be solved into or like www.example.com/profile.php?id=xyz and the value id should be able to get using GET method.
I'm working on PHP. Any answers would be highly appreciated. (I'm new to PHP and have only basic+ knowledge in it. Please explain briefly.)
To go from: www.example.com/profile.php?id=xyz into www.example.com/xyz you can use the following rule in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /profile.php?id=$1 [L]
Just make sure you clear your cache before testing this.
How do I strip a part of the url? I do not know much about htaccess or apache.
I would like to strip www.mysite.com/page=services to www.mysite.com/services for example.
What exactly do I need to put in the .htaccess file in order to achieve this, and would that work for other pages as well?
Thanks.
I tried this for one of my sites lately and came up with this and for me it works fine,
this goes into the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [NC,L]
then if you would write yoursite.com/pagename it would send yoursite.com/index.php?page=pagename to your php.
You will link to the page like so: yoursite.com/pagename
it wont change yoursite.com/index.php?page=pagename to yoursite.com/pagename in the adress bar after you send it.(if that makes sense :) )
I hope this is what you are looking for...
I think you mean your original URL to be www.mysite.com/index.php?page=services and not www.mysite.com/page=services
Also, you probably mean the opposite, you should switch www.mysite.com/services to www.mysite.com/index.php?page=service
Anyway, to change www.mysite.com/services to www.mysite.com/index.php?page=services then you need .htaccess, and the rule for that would be RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
As suggested earlier, you should read about .htaccess, regex, and rewrite rules. Best resource is the apache documentation here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/htaccess.html
I read your comment earlier that you need the opposite, I am not sure why you need that, because the whole idea of URL shortining is to make easy-to-remember URLs in addition to some security concerns that can be resolved. The URL is the first thing that is sent to load your webpage, then .htaccess changes it to some form undrstandable by PHP then PHP deals with get parameters for example.
I'm not sure how to explain this problem so the title is kind of vague!
Well here I go, I'm working on a picture/album page on my website and everything is working great. But I want to add a next/previous picture feature like any good picture website has. I want to passe the different options for sorting out the album by variables.
For now the url on a picture is http://localhost/photo/174/picture-name/, I would like to add on this some parameters so that the url then looks like http://localhost/photo/174/picture-name/album:5/sort:name/.
With the help of .htaccess I would like to extract the variables album and sort`.`But the little catch is that I would still want to be able to get to the page with only this urlhttp://localhost/photo/174/picture-name/``
For now my .htaccess file looks like this :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^photo/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/(.*)/$ photo.php?pic_id=$1
I tried adding this line in it but it did not work out.
RewriteRule ^(.*)/album:([A-Za-z0-9]+)/sort:([A-Za-z0-9]+)/$ &album=$2&sort=$3
I hope someone has an answer for me,
Have a good day
Joris
Did you mean something like this?
RewriteRule ^photo/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/[^/]+/album:([A-Za-z0-9]+)/sort:([A-Za-z0-9]+)/$ photo.php?pic_id=$1&album=$2&sort=$3
You also need to change your original rule:
RewriteRule ^photo/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([^/]*)/?$ photo.php?pic_id=$1
Because what you have will match against the URI with the parameters
I guess you are talking about this, and your example wasn't correct:
RewriteRule ^photo/(.*)/.*/album:(.*)/sort:(.*)/$ photo.php?pic_id=$1&album=$2&sort=$3
(for simplicity, I replaced some of the expressions).
Here, http://mydomain.com/photo/174/picture-name/album:5/sort:name/ get rewritten to http://mydomain.com/photo.php?pic_id=174&album=5&sort=name .
I have currently hit a bit of an issue with redirecting users with .htaccess and was wondering if anyone could help me.
1. Background:
I currently have a rather long domain name for the sake of this question lets refer to it as mylongdomainname.com now on this domain I have a subdomain that I use to host files, pictures etc to show friends or share with people this is files.mylongdomainname.com
now obviously the URL can get quite long as I have different directories and files. so to help reduce a bit of space I purchased another short domain, lets refer to this as small.me now what I want to do is use .htaccess and a simple PHP file to redirect small.me to files.mylongdomainname.com and pass on a file reference.
Example:
small.me/pictures/example.jpg should redirect to files.mylongdomainname.com/pictures/example.jpg
2. The problem
Basically I am unsure on the exact rewrite rule I would need to acomplish this. obviously I need a rule that will allow anything after small.me/ to be sent with the GET method to the index file which would then redirect the user accordingly. So that means that the rewrite rule will have to allow all letters, numbers and valid file name symbols to be used. I'm sure it's simple but after looking at a few tutorials and mod_rewrite help sites I still have no idea how to accomplish this.
3. The Code
.htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?file_location=$1 [L]
obviously wrong
index.php
<?php
//Get the requested files location.
$file_location = $_GET['file_location'];
//Redirect the user to the file.
header('refresh:2; url=http://files.mylongdomainname.com/' . $file_location);
?>
4. Notes
I am aware I could just use a URL shortener, but because I am awkward I would rather it just went through my own domain, so please don't comment or answer telling me to use a shortener or to use a service like dropbox.
So can anybody help me by providing the right rule? Any help is much appreciated.
In .htaccess you can simply use:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://small.me/?$1 [L]
No need for the PHP file if that's all you're trying to do.
Assuming you want this:
Picture to be shared: http://files.mylongdomainname.com/pictures/me/troll.jpg
Desired URL: http://small.me/pictures/me/troll.jpg
Remove the PHP file, just Place this in small.me's htaccess:
RewriteRule ^\/?(.*)$ http://files.mylongdomainname.com/$1 [NC,L]
The following in your .htaccess file should be all you need (no PHP file needed):
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://files.mylongdomainname.com/$1 [RL]
For more information and examples see the mod_rewrite documentation
