Not 100% sure how but I know its simple .htaccess but I have no idea what to do.
Basically I want it to load a index.php file no matter what url they go to in the folder containing the index.php for example:
http://website.com/folder/thisisntafile.php will load: index.php in the folder named folder. This will happen for whatever /folder/file.php is loaded.
Thanks!
Try this :
RewriteEngine on
#Rewrite "folder/file"
#don't rewrite "folder/index.php"
Rewritecond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/]+)/[^.]+(\.php|html)?$
RewriteRule ^ /%1/index.php [NC,L]
This rewrites
http://example.com/foo/bar.php
to
http://example.com/foo/index.php

I'm trying to rewrite all requests to index.php and then there decide which file to include depending on the value in the $_GET['p'] variable. For example I have a script called update.php in the home directory of my site called leltar, which I would like to be included if the opened page is localhost/leltar/update.
However, the problem is that the rewriting does not work because WAMP runs the script even though the .php extension is not in the link. The output is just the one from the script, nothing is shown from index.php. How can I stop WAMP from running the script with similar name? I suppose, there is something wrong with my .htaccess code as well because if I open pages other than localhost/leltar/update, the value of $_GET['p'] is the string "index.php" all the time.
.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?p=$1
index.php:
// ...
switch ($_GET['p']) {
case 'update':
require_once('update.php');
break;
default:
// something else
break;
}
// ...
The content of update.php is not relevant.
EDIT:
The main problem is that by default or even when I use the RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f rewrite condition if there is a file with the same name as the user-friendly end of the link, WAMP somehow overrides my rewrite rules. If I put a picture named pic.jpg into the www folder and open localhost/pic.jpg, the image shows up, obviously. However, if I leave out the extension visiting the page localhost/pic, I get the same output as well (instead of getting a 404 Not Found error because of the non-exisiting folder, I suppose).
EDIT 2:
On a real server there isn't any problem. If I leave out the extension a 404 error is thrown, so it's definitely a WAMP-specific thing.
Rules in .htaccess files effectively loop until the URL does not change (because the processing is restarted each time, which means the rules are also processed again) so of course your rule loops until p is equal to itself.
You don't actually need p, you can just check $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] in your PHP script and that will tell you the original requested URI (not the same as REQUEST_URI below, which does change with each rewrite).
So just use this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.php
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
But... you probably want files that exist to be served, such as images, scripts etc. so the usual thing is to do this and check if the file exists:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
Although it's more efficient to do this and list the directories with files in them that you want to be served:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(?:images|css|scripts)/
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
Just change the list to the names of the directories that have your static files in.
Update
From the comments, it seems you have another rewrite that is adding .php to URLs, so they can work without it. In order to not rewrite them to index.php, I suggest putting the rewrite before this one. Otherwise, you can check if the URL exists with .php on the end of it like this. Perhaps combining it with the folder check rather than having two file-system checks.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(?:images|css|scripts)/
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
You can add specific file exceptions to the third rule like this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(?:images|css|scripts)/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/some/url.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/some_other_url.php
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
Indeed, as #SuperDuperApps assumed, the problem was that WAMP has MultiViews enabled by default. Adding Options -MultiViews to my .htaccess file solved all my problems, my initial code mentioned in the question works fine now.
I am nto able to rewrite URL as I need.
I have the following document structure:
1) root - root folder where .htaccess should be placed in
2) root/folder1 - subfolder
3) root/folder1/public - this is folder where index.php is
Thus I need that mydomain.com would open index.php inside "public" folder. And all other requests would go via it.
I tried this, but it doesn't work (p.s. I am writing rewrite rules first time). I put it inside root folder.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mydomain\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$1
RewriteRule !^folder1/public /folder1/public%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC]
I have a similar .htaccess like yours, so I edited a bit mine. Does this worked for you?
The condiftion for .css|.js is needed otherwise it will send as plain/text instead of normal css/js
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(css|js)$
RewriteRule ^([^?]*)$ root/folder1/public/index.php [NC,L,QSA]
I have a custom web app and the file structure works like this:
/apps/calendar/frontend/index.php
/apps/calendar/frontend/view/index.php
/apps/calendar/backend/index.php
/apps/calendar/backend/edit/index.php
/apps/calendar/backend/add/index.php
/apps/calendar/backend/view/index.php
I'm trying to write a .htaccess file to help redirect the files so they cant see the 'real' path.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/(.*)/(.*)($|/$) /apps/$1/frontend/$2/$3 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/(.*)($|/$) /apps/$1/frontend/$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)($|/$) /apps/$1/frontend/ [NC,L]
When I visit localhost/calendar it should map redirect to /apps/calendar/frontend/index.php. But when I visit localhost/calendar/add it gives me a 301 (permanent move) then shows the full page of localhost/apps/calendar/frontend/add/index.php in the console. Anyone got any ideas why this would happen? Or a better way around this? The apps might have heaps of sub-directories so, I'm not particularly keen on having a rule for ever subdirectory combination.
As you can see also I have a /admin path, which would load the /backend/ parts of the app. I would assuming I can do the similar code with the prefix of /admin?
This question might also be of your interest: Create blog post links similar to a folder structure.
Given that your .htaccess is located on the root folder of your domain /home/youraccount/public_html/.htaccess, it would look like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(admin|apps) [NC]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/apps/$1 -d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?(|.*)$ /apps/$1/frontend/$2 [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/apps [NC]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/apps/$1 -d
RewriteRule ^admin/([^/]+)/?(|.*)$ /apps/$1/backend/$2 [NC,L]
Let's say the user access:
http://domain.com/calendar
http://domain.com/calendar/
http://domain.com/calendar/add
All the above would redirect to
/apps/calendar/frontend/index.php
/apps/calendar/frontend/index.php/
/apps/calendar/frontend/index.php/add
And the if the user access:
http://domain.com/calendar/admin
http://domain.com/calendar/admin/
http://domain.com/calendar/admin/add
It would go to:
/apps/calendar/backend/index.php
/apps/calendar/backend/index.php/
/apps/calendar/backend/index.php/add
So it would make index.php your controller for each end:
/apps/calendar/frontend/index.php
/apps/calendar/backend/index.php
how can I show folder name instead of file name?
For example,
www.example.com/home/index.php -> www.example.com/home
I know when I browse www.example.com/home I will get the result but that is not what I want because it will add a / behind the folder name (e.g www.example.com/home/).
What I want is without the / behind the folder and when user browse www.example.com/home/index.php the page will redirect the user to page not found. The purpose I do this is to hide the language I used and make the link more readable and memorable.
I found something like rewrite the rules in .htaccess file but I am new in php so I don't how to make it. Anyone can give me suggestion or provides some tutorial about this.
Thanks.
To remove the slash, you must first disable DirectorySlash
DirectorySlash Off
DirectoryIndex disabled
Direct access to PHP files can be answered with a R=404 status code
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule \.php$ - [R=404,L]
And then, you can rewrite requests pointing to a directory and containing an index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php -f
RewriteRule ^.*$ /$0/index.php [L]
This RewriteCond looks, if the requested URL is a directory and if there is an index.php in this directory. If this is the case, then the index.php is executed.
Putting all together
DirectorySlash Off
DirectoryIndex disabled
RewriteEngine on
# prevent direct access to PHP files
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule \.php$ - [R=404,L]
# rewrite requests for a directory to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php -f
RewriteRule ^.*$ /$0/index.php [L]
Htaccess doesn't have anything common with PHP. Htaccess is Apache's configuration file, so you need to play with htaccess to achieve that what you want. On the other hand your solution will be really dirty. Learn about MVC and FrontController to make your structure cleaner.
I would like to take requests for /somefolder/style.css and handle them with /somefolder/program.php
So, I put the following in my .htaccess file:
rewriteengine on
rewriterule ^style.css$ program.php?css=1 [R=302,L]
The result is that instead of redirecting to /somefolder/program.php, the server tries to redirect to:
/var/www/html/somefolder/program.php?css=1
How can I get rid of the /var/www/html/ in the redirect? I thought that since I just entered program.php in the .htaccess that it would default to the same folder.
Since this is a generic script that I will use in many places, I would like to avoid using rewritebase to specify the folder I'm in -- the .htaccess has to work in any folder without being modified.
Leave the R flag away and you will get an internal redirect:
RewriteRule ^style\.css$ program.php?css=1 [L]
Otherwise specify the full URL path you want to redirect to externally:
RewriteRule ^style\.css$ /program.php?css=1 [R=302,L]
Or for any arbitrary folder:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*)/style\.css$
RewriteRule ^style\.css$ %1/program.php?css=1 [R=302,L]
I think the problem is that you are missing a ReWrite base statement.
Also the I would put the .htaccess file in the root directory of your site. That way you don't have to copy an .htacess file into every new directory you create. What if you want to change the name of your php file? You'd have to change every .htaccess file.
This is how I would redirect www.mydomain.com/orange/style.css to www.mydomain.com/orange/program.php?css=1 using generic rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)/style\.css$ $1/program.php?css=1 [L]
