I've been searching and cannot find an answer that suits my needs. It is a rather simple question I assume.
The point is that I need to rewrite my files to a name of my liking. For example I have, 'www.mydomain.com/account_index.php' which I want to rewrite to www.mydomain.com/account
Thus far I had this, but that doesn't seem to work with multiple lines.
Rewriteengine on
rewriterule ^support account_ticket.php [L]
rewriterule ^account account_index.php [L]
So in short, I want my website to redirect /account to account_index.php and the other way around.
Thanks in advance!
I found the answer for those that are wondering.
I had to put a RewriteCond before every RewriteRule.
So if I wanted to go to www.mydomain.com/account. I'd have this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/account$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^account account_index.php [NC,L]
This means that /account is now linked to account_index.php.
Have a nice day!

I understand that similar questions have been asked before in regard to .htaccess, but after hours of reading through the Questions, Answers and Comments, as well as countless hours reading .htaccess documentation and even trying .htaccess generators... and messing my site access up via trying examples... I come to seek those wiser than me for guidance.
I am using the following .htaccess file to remove .php extensions from URLS shown to the user in the browser
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
This works perfectly
www.example.com/users/player.php?id=1 is being correctly shown as
www.example.com/users/player?id=1
I am now struggling to write/find/understand examples that will allow me to rewrite the full extension
I want to showwww.example.com/users/player.php?id=1aswww.example.com/users/1
totally removing the player.php?id= part of the dynamic URL
Thank you in advance for any help/guidance.
For anyone else who wants to do what I wanted to do, I have found a solution.
Question: Htaccess rewrite with id
Answer: from Anubhava
This will allow you to externally mask "edit.php?id=1" to "edit/id/1" as well as use either URL interchangeably.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# external redirect from actual URL to pretty one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/([^/]+)/edit\.php\?id=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/edit/id/%2? [R=302,L,NE]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/edit/id/([^/.]+)$ $1/edit.php?id=$2 [NC,L,QSA]
Best of luck!
I've been working on a module for a PHP-based application that would allow users to create custom pages. These pages have a URL structure as follows:
yourdomain.com/page.php?url=random-slug
I would like to have these URLs rewritten to use a more SEO-friendly approach:
yourdomain.com/random-slug/
In addition, there should two (2) redirects that accompany this rewrite:
yourdomain.com/page.php?url=random-slug => yourdomain.com/random-slug/
yourdomain.com/random-slug => yourdomain.com/random-slug/
Would this be possible? If so, what would the .htaccess (Apache) file look like to accomplish this? I have tried the following for the rewrite:
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)?.php$ ./page.php?url=$1 [L,NC]
Unfortunately, the above also seems to break other links on the site as well. I'm not exactly sure why yet but was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your help!
Edit:
I was able to find a way to accomplish this with the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?(.*?)/?$ ./page.php?url=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /page\.php\?url=([^\&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^/?page\.php$ ./%1/? [R=301, L]
Hopefully this will help anyone else with a similar request :)
Ok, So I've looked at this topic for quite a while now and can't get anything to work, probably because I'm still having difficulty understanding it - So I'm going back to basics and asking this in the simplest of terms.
I have an empty .htaccess file
I have a current URL of http://www.website.co.uk/news.php?id=111111
I want this to become http://www.website.co.uk/news/111111
How Do I Do This?
Also please not that although this is the URL now, I'm planning on making some changes to the site so the URL's in the future may be:
http://www.website.co.uk/news.php?city=city&issue=1&title=the-title&id=111111
http://www.website.co.uk/news/city/issue/the-title/111111
How can I make it so that the future changes will work too? So far I have:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^news/(.+)$ news.php?id=$1 [L]
This still displays the full url and typing in news/111111 redirects to an error page. Please help!
Adding the following to your htaccess should work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^news.php$ /news/%1? [L,R]
RewriteRule ^news/(.*) news.php?id=$1 [QSA]
The above will change http://www.website.co.uk/news.php?id=111111 to http://www.website.co.uk/news/111111
and below will change
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^city=(.*)&issue=(.*)&title=(.*)&id=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^news.php$ /news/%1/%2/%3/%4 [L,R]
RewriteRule ^news/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) news.php?city=$1&issue=$2&title=$3&id=$4 [QSA]
http://www.website.co.uk/news.php?city=city&issue=1&title=the-title&id=111111 into http://www.website.co.uk/news/city/issue/the-title/111111
The values in %1, %2, $3, %4 gotten from the parameters after city=, issue=. title=. id=.
In city=London, London will be contained in %1 etc
The second RewriteRule will allow you to find the id used.
I am currently trying to figure out how to create an htaccess file that will allow me to perform the following, however I have searched everywhere, and on stackoverflow but I cannot find a solution.
I have an existing site, with a directory /brands/, and an htaccess file setup so that putting anything after brands e.g. /brands/diesel redirects to /brands/index.php?brand=diesel. What I now need to do is redirect anything further in the URL to a seperate page ( in the same directory ), for example /brands/diesel/jeans/male will redirect to inner.php?sear=diesel&t=jeans&g=male
I have tried the following with no success:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ inner.php?sear=$1&t=$2&g=$3 [L]
Anyone who is competent at writing htaccess files will probably be able to spot what is wrong immediately, but unfortunately I am not great with these.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think you might have to setup RewriteBase.
RewriteBase /brands/
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ inner.php?sear=$1&t=$2&g=$3 [L]
Try these rules
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /brands/
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ inner.php?sear=$1&t=$2&g=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/]+)/?$ inner.php?sear=$1&t=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ inner.php?sear=$1 [L,QSA]
I have re-written my URL from website.com?id=1 to website.com/1 and I'm getting 404 errors when trying to access the page and cannot think of a solution to this. I'm currently developing a link shortener. This is required so users will be able to access their shorted links.
This is my current .htaccessfile
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD)\ /(index\.php)?\?id=([0-9]+)([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /%3?%4 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/?$ /?id=$1 [L,QSA]
I cannot figure out whether this has something to do with the .htaccess file or if I need to add something else to my php code.
Would someone have some sort of idea? Thanks.
You need to explicitly rewrite back to index.php in your second rule. By the time rewrite rules are processed the DirectoryIndex directive has already been processed (or may never be processed at all - it depends a little on your virtual host configuration and in what scope the DirectoryIndex directive was declared).
The end result of this is that you need to explicitly rewrite the request to the script that you want to handle the request, you can't just rewrite it to the root of a directory. Try changing your second rewrite rule to:
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
On a personal note, it's interesting to see someone else use the %{THE_REQUEST} approach to this problem, this is an idea that I myself only recently came up with, although presumably I am not the first to do so. For the benefit of future visitors, here is a related post that explains why this requirement would come about and the thinking behind it.
I think you have written wrong rewrite rules.
They must be something like this:
for example.com/website.php?id=x..
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([^/]+)$
RewriteRule ^website\.php$ %1/ [L]
as discussed here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4951918/2274209
Hope this will solve your query.
