To get straight to the point.
I have this URL: http://example.com/?open=encyclopedia&letter=s&term=storm and I want this shortcut URL - http://example.com/storm - to redirect to the first URL: http://example.com/?open=encyclopedia&letter=s&term=storm
I have around 1.000 encyclopedic terms and I want this redirection to work for each term entered. For Example: if a visitor enters http://example.com/Storm to automatically be redirected to the page here: http://example.com/?open=encyclopedia&letter=s&term=storm OR http://example.com/Dried_Plant to http://example.com/?open=encyclopedia&letter=d&term=dried+plant
I prefer some htaccess solution to this, if possible.
If not, give what you can give.
I have no example code for this, since I do not know where to start from.
I suggest you redirect it all to your page encyclopedia. And then consider with php what you can do with it (like finding the first letter or change with _ or others)
You can use:
RewriteEngine on
# skip all files and directories from rewrite rules below
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ encyclopedia?term=%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L]
With correct first letter (letter=), change the last line with:
RewriteRule ^(.) encyclopedia?letter=$1&term=%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L]
#Croises answer is good if your link looks like following
mysite.com/?open=encyclopedia&letter=s&term=/storm
REQUEST_URI is adding a trailing slash. Your link don't have one:
mysite.com/?open=encyclopedia&letter=s&term=storm
I think this is what you are looking for
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.) ?open=encyclopedia&letter=$1&letter=%1 [NC,L]

I ned to change this url
https://halopredictions.com/blog/index.php?url=german-bundesliga-prepare-to-return-on-9-may
to
https://halopredictions.com/blog/german-bundesliga-prepare-to-return-on-9-may
This is my .htaccess that am currently using
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ index.php?url=$1 [NC,L]
I have already enabled mod rewrite
The htaccess is on this path ...\blog\.htaccess
Any help I will highly appreciate
Before proceeding with the answer, if I understand correctly you want to redirect from https://halopredictions.com/blog/german-bundesliga-prepare-to-return-on-9-may To https://halopredictions.com/blog/index.php?url=german-bundesliga-prepare-to-return-on-9-may.
Since SEO Urls are used by the visitors, we have to convert them to actual path.
The below RewriteRule will be sufficient to achieve the above condition.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^blog/([A-Za-z0-9-\+]+)/?$ blog/index.php?url=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
Explanation:
^blog/([A-Za-z0-9-\+]+)/?$ - This part is what you want to rewrite from. Since, your URLs will be like in the pattern https://halopredictions.com/blog/german-bundesliga-prepare-to-return-on-9-may, we need to get the url part after blog/.
I have used a regular expression ([A-Za-z0-9-\+]+)/? to match the url part and it can be referrenced using $1.
Now we have to use $1 in our new url. For that, we have written the second part of RewriteRule where you can assign the referrence.
blog/index.php?url=$1 - Now, as you would assume we are using the $1 reference after index.php?url=, so that it will append it to the URL Query param and should lead to a valid path.
By the way, ^ this is used to indicate the start and $ for the end.
One pages of site have such adds: domain.com/posts/name.php
Other pages of site have such adds: domain.com/pages/name.php
I need to cut from these adds posts/ and pages/ only.
Firstly, I tried to use in .htaccess next rules:
RewriteRule ^([A-z0-9-]+)$ /posts/$1
RewriteRule ^([A-z0-9-]+)$ /pages/$1
Don't help.
Secondly, I tried to use in .htaccess such rules and conditions:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ posts/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ pages/$1 [L]
As result: image of mistake 404
Also I tried to use such method:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^([A-z0-9-]+)$/(posts|pages)/([A-z0-9-]+)/$1 [NC]
RewriteRule .* domain.com/%1%3
Don't help....
what i am understanding you need to remove the post and pages from the url following code will help you for that.
You would need the rewrite module of Apache: mod_rewrite.
Then do something like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^post/(.*)$ $1
RewriteRule ^pages/(.*)$ $1
Here is the official documentation of mod_rewrite: click
please test it onece I dint test the code but did same for replacing url and its work for me.
Thanks.
The solution of this problem such:
We enter all information about the page in the MYSQL database:
image of database
We generate a page from the database:
generation of page (php)
Set the generated page for Human-Friendly Url:
file .htaccess
So everything works, and POSTS there are in their folder in the database, and PAGES in their folder.
folder in database
All is clean. If you can do better somewhere, then correct me, please.
I have this code in my htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php/?url=$1 [QSA,L]
And in PHP, I grab the current url request and give it it's controller so if there was http://example.com/index.php?url=about -> this will give me the about controller so it displays the about page (MVC)
Now my question is that how can I remove the index.php?url from every page. For example I want to access the about page then I need it to be -> http://example.com/about
You can see in the htaccess that I am replacing the index.php/?url with whatever I type ($1) But it doesn't seem to work because when I request this url: (example) http://example.com/about I get Object not found! Error 404. And when I have http://example.com I get the controller_home page. However, when i type http://example.com/home it also displays error 404.
If I do this: http://example.com/?url=about or http://example.com/index.php?url=about it works find and gives me the about controller so the ?url isn't getting removed by the htaccess I guess...
Might that be an another error in my php code or what?
Kindly help me as I have been looking over this error about 10 hours and I didn't find why it is behaving like that, my friend has almost the same code and it works perfectly for him.
I am kind of new to php so it might be simple bug...
Thanks in advance for everyone that helps!
If you're using an .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^/?(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
If you're editing the main apache config file (httpd.conf or apache2.conf). I know the OP is using .htaccess but just in case other people having this issue see this discussion:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^/?(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
First, presumably you want to test if the requested string does NOT match a directory, NOT match a file, and NOT match a symbolic link - so you need add a "!" before the RewriteCond flags (to negate the condition). Stacked RewriteConds are linked with an implicit AND so checking for directory, file and symbolic link doesn't make sense (a given requested string wouldn't match all of these conditions).
Second, the %{DOCUMENT_ROOT} would be necessary if you're doing this in the main apache config file (ie/httpd.conf or apache2.conf). It's not necessary if you're doing this in an .htaccess file.
Third, when RewriteRule is matching it includes the /. Presumably when you request "website.com/about" you want "about" to be passed to index.php not "/about", so the "/?" will remove the / in first character position from $1. I put the question mark, just because I think it's best practice, since technically you could get an HTTP request that does not begin with a slash (although this would be against standards and every browser includes a slash at the beginning).
Fourth, you shouldn't put a / after the index.php in RewriteRule (so it should be "index.php?url=$1", not "index.php/?url=$1". Query strings are separated from a filename via a "?" not a "/?".
Try this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^((.*)+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
My .htaccess file currently looks something like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^page/([^/]*)/$ ?page=$1 [L]
It makes URLs friendly from something like domain.com/?page=2 to domain.com/page/2/.
However, is there a way that I can edit this .htaccess file to make it redirect URLs containing ?page=2 (or any page number) to it's nicely formatted URL (/page/2/) automatically? My current one just allows the friendly URL version to "exist", but in no way enforces a redirect to it.
Also, is there a way I can redirect ?page=1 or /page/1/ just to the main directory/home?
EDIT:
After using what I received as an answer from Jon Lin, I was able to solve the second part of my question. Considering that ?page=1 automatically redirected to /page/1/, all I had to do was redirect /page/1/ to the homepage:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+DIRECTORY/(?:page|)/1/?
RewriteRule ^ /DIRECTORY/? [L,R]
Add this right below the RewriteEngine on line:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+(?:index\.php|)\?page=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^ /page/%1/? [L,R]
I am looking for some help in my htaccess to better handle my urls when using a pagination function.
Currently my htaccess looks like this:
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?alias=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?alias=$1/$2 [QSA,NC,L]
basically, I have two rules. At first I only had the second one, to direct all requests to my index page, where I then parse out some details of the url in order to show the correct content. I found that it didnt work for urls with only one sub directory, like example.com/bars, but only two directories like, example.com/bars/bar-name, so I added the rule before it.
This has been working great for me. All of my urls look great and the ?alias=bars/bars-name has been completlely hidden and now looks like /bars/bars-name
Recently though I have integrated a pagination php function. This function creates urls that looks like this:
example.com/bars?alias=bars&info=mysql_table_bars&page=2
Basically, 'info' is the table name that the pagination function queries, and 'page' is the current page. It seems 'alias' also started showing in the url once I started using this function.
What I would like is for my pagination to look like these examples:
example.com/bars/page/2
example.com/hotels/page/5
etc...
What do I need to add to my htaccess to handle this situation? Also, is there a way to simplify my existing two rules?
Regarding your original rules. The conditions that you have only get applied to the immediately following RewriteRule, so you need to duplicate them:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?alias=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?alias=$1/$2 [QSA,NC,L]
For the new pagination stuff, firstly, it is really bad to be pulling database table names from the query string, unless they've been validated somehow (which may be what's happening). But even then, it's still an information disclosure problem. So you can use these rules to always remove them:
# This matches the actual request when there's pagination in the query string
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/\?]+)\?alias=([^&\ ]+)&info=.*&page=([0-9]+)
# an optional sanity check, does the request URI match the "alias" param?
RewriteCond %1:%2:%3 ^(.*):\1:(.*)$
# redirect the browser to the URL with the table name removed
RewriteRule ^ /%1/page/%2? [L,R=301]
Then you need rules to internally rewrite them back to the request with the query string:
# rewrite it back to the query string
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+) /$1?alias=$1&info=mysql_table_$1&page=$2 [L]
