I have a PHP website,
e.g.
http://www.test.com/rewrite-test/s/z2SZhBL
This was previously on Apache which had a rewrite rule to trap the "z2SZhBL" using the $_GET['id'].
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?id=$1 [L]
I need to move this website onto IIS and I need to get the URL rewrite rule working. I have tried these examples.
http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/creating-rewrite-rules-for-the-url-rewrite-module
So in the folder "rewrite-test" I have an index.php which is echoing out the $_GET variables and there are no get variables coming back they are all empty.
I can get the variables using this workaround.
$params = explode( "/", $_SERVER['HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_URL'] );
print_r($params);
Is this best solution?
IIS Manager has a good Import Rules tool. See full walk through here: http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/importing-apache-modrewrite-rules
Open URL Rewrite
In Actions Pane, click Import Rules
Browse to your .htaccess file (Or Copy/Paste them in)
Review the Converted Rules
Rename the rule as desired
Click Apply Link to save the converted rules

I got this url
/localhost/andalucia/productdetails.php?value=20
I want to change it to
/localhost/andalucia/productdetails/20
how do you do this and how will you get the value 20 in the handler page?
should I change the coding or I just add an ht access file?
If it is adding a ht access file what code should be in it?
How if I have more pages like:
/localhost/andalucia/product
/localhost/andalucia/home
/localhost/andalucia/contactus
Will they be affected automatically too?
ok i tried to use
RewriteRule ^productdetails/([0-9]+)$ productdetails.php?value=$1 [L,QSA]
but now the problem is all my pictures is gone in the html and i cant open the other page like
/localhost/andalucia/product
/localhost/andalucia/home
/localhost/andalucia/contactus
i need a htaccess code that can open all of these
/localhost/andalucia/product
/localhost/andalucia/home
/localhost/andalucia/contactus
/localhost/andalucia/productdetails/20
pls helpp someone
With the apache extension mod_rewrite it is really easy to transform your pretty URLs into the URLs needed by your script. This .htaccess example which you place in your web root should get you going:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^andalucia/productdetails/([0-9]+)$ /andalucia/productdetails.php?value=$1 [L]
This example will only rewrite andalucia/productdetails/NNNN... format URLs, all other URLs won't be affected. If you need to pass other query parameters, like /andalucia/productdetails/20?sort=asc you need to pass the QSA flag (query string append) to the rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^andalucia/productdetails/([0-9]+)$ /andalucia/productdetails.php?value=$1 [QSA,L]
The L flag will prohibit the evaluation of next rules. Just look up the mod_rewrite documentation for a in-depth discussion!
I've searched the site and got far enough where I've been successful at rewriting to a clean URL. Just need a bit more help.
I have a page with a record that I have successfully rewritten to a clean URL like so:
domain/record.php?id=1685 > to > domain/record-Gavin-Rees-1685 using the below:
.htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^record-(.*)-(.*)$ /record.php?id=$2 [L]
This in my php file:
$temp=str_replace(' ','-', $record [record_name]);
$temp=str_replace('.','', $temp);
<a href='/record-". $temp ."-".$record[id]." '>
This works perfect. The problem is.
I cannot get it to rewrite the other way so if you go directly to:
/record.php?id=1685 it still exists. i tried > RewriteRule ^record.php?id=$ /record-(.*)-(.*)$ [R,L]
This isn't possible in the .htacces rewrite rules, because you couldn't define a general rule, which knows about your software internals. If you want to do this in your .htaccess file, you have to create a rule for every single id which would result in a very large and unhandy .htaccess file.
The better way to get an redirection for direct script calls is, to do the redirect in the php file itself and set the http status codes(i.e. 301 - permanently moved).
The get the requested url, you could use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and check for /record.php at the beginning
I am trying to use mod_rewrite to redirect users keeping the multiple query string and creating a redirect page
For Example,
If user opens
http://localhost/url/url/http://www.google.com/contacts/?user=abc&stackoverflow=great&google=facebook
then he is taken to
http://localhost/url/url.php?redirect=http://www.google.com/contacts/?user=abc&stackoverflow=great&google=facebook
There is secondary problem that URL should be encoded and then redirected! If URL is not encoded then the string (&stackoverflow=great)would be not a part of 'redirect' string of url.php
I tried many solutions then came for stackoverflow! I tried the following code in following file
http://localhost/url/.htaccess
RewriteRule ^url/([^/])$ url.php?redirect=$1 [QSA,L]
but the result is localhost/url/url.php?redirect=http only
Your setup won't work with the unencoded inner url, so an 'answer' can only have temporary character. But this might be a starting point:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/url/url/(.*)$ /url/url.php?redirect=$1 [L,QSA]
I wonder however if that fragment /url/url is really intended (the two 'url's in there).
Note that the exact rule content also depends on where you want to define that rule. The syntax is different whether you use the central server configuration (referred) or .htaccess style files (as second choice and more complex).
Try this
RewriteEngine on
Redirect ^url/url/(.*)$ url/url.php?redirect=$1
The basic redirect systax,
redirect accessed-file URL-to-go-to
Consider my domain name is
www.mydomain.com
Consider a page request
www.mydomain.com/user/register
I want to add a custom word after base URL for every request inside mydomain.com.example
www.mydomain.com/customword/
www.mydomain.com/customword/user/register
Can we do this using URL rewriting in htaccess file ?
Actually it should execute 'www.mydomain.com/user/register' internally...but externally the URL should look like www.mydomain.com/customword/user/register.
You could create the directory "register", and put an index file inside it that performs the action.
That's probably the simplest way without url rewriting anyway.
UPDATE (since the question was updated)
In .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-.]+)/user/register/?$ user/register.php?customword=$1
register.php will receive a GET request:
//User went to www.mydomain/word/user/register
echo $_GET['customword']; // will return word in this case
Make sure that you have mod_rewrite enabled :)
Yes, you can do it with htaccess
Here is an example which will add a trailing slash with url if it doesnt contain trailing slash
http://enarion.net/web/htaccess/trailing-slash/
edit formatting updated
If you are serving one site from this then the following should work:
Edit your .htaccess file to do a url rewrite
accessing www.yourdomain.com/user/registry will actually server content from www.yourdomain.com/customword/user/registry
RewriteEngine On<br>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/customword/<br>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /customword/$1
You haven't mentioned what kind of site you;re using..eg: PHP, MVC etc as you could do similar thing in there as well.
i was given 3 static pages e.g
proposal.test.com/seo
proposal.test.com/ppc
proposal.test.com/design
I checked those directories in the server and there's no dynamic about their indexes, all plain htm file.
the instruction given to me was, hide those url from anyone that doesn't match a random url from database..meaning e.g
if user typed proposal.test.com/seo ,it shouldn't display the page, if the user
typed something like e.g proposal.test.com/seo/a13sdfa and a13sdfa matched a key from a databased, that's the only time the proposal.test.com/seo page will be displayed
so how am I gonna do this in PHP ? because all 3 directories are made up of pure static pages..
i have done the creating of keys already, i just wanna know how to hide these pages by appending a given random key and checking if it does or don't exists in database.
Since the pages are never considered PHP, you can not block the access using PHP.
You can block access by configuring your web server, for example by using a .htaccess file.
If you blocked access the normal way, you can use PHP to allow access to the files on certain conditions..
You should use mod_rewrite (in case of Apache web-server) and setup a rewriting of /a13sdfa into something like ?key=a13sdfa. Also you should include some PHP code in all static files in order to check the key validity.
How about this: move the static files outside the public folder, so they cannot be accessed directly; redirect all requests to a php file (you can use rewrite engine with apache) which will look in the database for the accessed url/key and return the file_get_contents of the corresponding file.
Here's an example of how the .htaccess file could look like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php
What this does is the following: if the requested file doesn't exist on the disk (as a file or a directory), it will redirect to /index.php. There you should have the logic to render what page you want.
If you don't know in which variable the server will put the slug, just do a print_r($_SERVER) from inside index.php to find it.
There are 2 ways you could solve this problem.
1) (my prefered) Use .htaccess to only display the page if it matches the regex givin in the .htaccess.
2) In PHP (your actual question) 'Get the slug from the URL, query it to the database and if you get a result display it. Otherwise, send a 404 header from php.
Assuming the following: You have an Apache webserver with mod_rewrite enabled (check php info if you arent sure). Your virtual host allows overriding (AllowOveride All).
.htacces
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+) index.php?check=$1 [QSA,L,t]
If the file or directory exsists on the server it will display the page. So it would display seo, design etc. Otherwise it redirects to index.php and gives its slug as a parameter named $check. With this variable, query to the database, check te result and redirect to the desired page.
