Here is an example url.
97006 is the query string.
Customer-Manager is a title that changes for every page.
jobdetails.php is run when a button is clicked which brings you to a page like this below.
http://11.11.111.111/97006/Customer-Manager.html
I would like the url to be:
http://11.11.111.111/job/Customer-Manager.html
In the .htaccess there is already code for the url I want to change.
I think this is the condition for the rule: (because its the 1st condition & 1st rule, is thst how it works?)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode.*\(.*\) [OR]
This is the rule I have tried changing many times but no success:
RewriteRule ^([1-9][0-9]*)/([-.,_0-9a-zA-z]*)\.html$ job_details.php?query_string=$1&action=%1 [L]
This code makes the url when for the button:
$button = tep_href_link($id.'/'.$title.'.html');
I have research apache directives, regular expressions and tried many tutorials but whenever I change anything in the htaccess for that line I get sent to the wrong url or the site crashes altogether.
I think it is impossible you can use this url instead :
http://example.com/jobs/97006/data.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^jobs/([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ /job_details.php?query_string=$1&action=$2 [L]

I have a search form to search for a health institution in a city.
when I display the results I have this URL for example :
search.php?city=mycity&speciality=cardiology
I would like to rewrite this URL like this: health-institution-cardiology-mycity
I set up an .htaccess rule like this :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule health-entity-([a-zA-Z\-]+)-([a-zA-Z\-]+) search.php?city=$2&speciality=$1
It doesn't work, however, I applied this rule to another type of URL and it works
is there any issue with the code?
do I need to add something?
This will work:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^health-institution-([a-z]+)-([a-z]+)/?$ search.php?city=$2&speciality=$1 [NC,L]
Note: The NC (No Case) at the end makes the rurl case insensitive.
On the home page of my website, I have a guide that includes some links, and each redirects to a family guide page, all with the redirection by identification of each element of the guide, remaining as the link
https://example.com/family-guide/?id=4
Where '4' is the ID of the element.
I would like to leave like this:
https://example.com/family-guide/4
I tried to use mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^family-guide/([0-9] +)/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+) family-guide/?Id=$1name=$2 [NC, L]
but nothing happens
Your rule has some spaces. Be careful because if there is a space between the flags [NC, L] the rule is not valid.
Another thing is that you want the url https://example.com/family-guide/4 to match a rule and your rule expects two parameters (id and name) while in this url there is only one.
I would use a couple of rules instead:
RewriteRule family-guide/([0-9]+)/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+) family-guide/?id=$1&name=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule family-guide/([0-9]+) family-guide/?id=$1 [NC,L]
With this rules if you go to https://example.com/family-guide/4 you should be shown the content of https://example.com/family-guide/?id=4. And if you go to https://example.com/family-guide/4/whatever it will show you the content of https://example.com/family-guide/?id=4&name=whatever instead, which is what I understood you need.
Also, the rule order is important as if they were in the opposite order https://example.com/family-guide/4/whatever would match the other rule and show the content of https://example.com/family-guide/?id=4/whatever
I know there's a million similar questions on stuff like this, but clearly there's much I don't understand because I haven't been able to derive answers or a solution to my (as I understand it) fairly simple question.
Basically, I'm trying to get an old site back up, but want a more professional look to it this time round, which includes cleaning up the URLs. A typical page is as follows (hosted locally at the moment, but will be assigned a domain in next few days):
192.168.0.200/album-reviews.php?albid=22
Using the following code, I have been able to achieve the above example page loading via manually typing 192.168.0.200/album-reviews/22 into the browser:
RewriteRule ^album-reviews/([0-9a-zA-Z]+) album-reviews.php?albid=$1 [NC,L]
However, what I want as well is for when the link is clicked on my site, it directs the user to /album-reviews/22 instead of album-reviews.php?albid=22. The only way to get the clean URL at the moment is to manually type it into the bar, links from my site do not get the clean URL, the code I have been playing around with (and have been unable to get working) based on sources I've found is this:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /album-reviews/?(?:\.php)?\?albid=([0-9a-zA-Z]+)
RewriteRule ^ /album-reviews/%1? [L,R]
So if anyone could shed some light on how I get all this working as desired, I'd be grateful, I hope my question has been articulated appropriately.
On a side note, If i wanted to include the post title in the URL too like this:
192.168.0.200/album-reviews.php?albid=22&ptitle=my first post
how would alter any code to make it like this:
192.168.0.200/album-reviews/22/my first post
Thank you.
You can use:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /album-reviews/?(?:\.php)?\?albid=([^\s&]+)&ptitle=([^\s&]+)
RewriteRule ^ album-reviews/%1/%2? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /album-reviews/?(?:\.php)?\?albid=([^\s&]+)
RewriteRule ^ album-reviews/%1? [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^album-reviews/([^/]+)/?$ album-reviews.php?albid=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^album-reviews/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ album-reviews.php?albid=$1&ptitle=$2 [NC,L]
If you want to show the contents of http://yoursite.com/album-reviews.php?albid=22 at the url http://yoursite.com/album-reviews/22, you need these codes:
Your htaccess needs this lines:
RewriteEngine On
Options -Indexes
RewriteRule ^album-reviews/(.*)$ album-reviews.php?pretty=$1 [L,QSA]
And your PHP these:
$pretty = $_GET['pretty'];
$parameters = explode('/',$pretty);
$albid = $parameters[0];
Your user won't be redirected, your website will show directly the page at the pretty url.
Now, what happened? That you instructed htaccess to send everything after album-reviews as a GET parameter called "pretty". Then in your PHP you cut it for every / that appeared in it, and that way you formed the array $parameters. So you can even get more parameters, for every /, they are all in the array $parameters:
$second_parameter = $parameters[1];
$third_parameter = $parameters[2];
$fourth_parameter = $parameters[3];
I am currently coding a pagination script into many parts of my site, this has been a well needed and requested feature and I have finally been able to come round and start coding it, it is all going well, until I find that my rewritten urls don't like working with the pagination urls.
So, an example page on my site would be news.php. This file structure can be something like news.php?id=5. I have rewritten the url like so:
/news/5/
## Rewrite URL's for News & Dev ##
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)/$ /news.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)$ /news.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^news$ /news.php [L]
RewriteRule ^news/$ /news.php [L]
The pagination script I am using prepends two new variables in the url, the new url turns out to be this:
news.php?page=1&ipp=55id=5
I would really appreciate it if anyone could assist me in making the urls look better, as it defeats the object of having it in the first place if after they use the pagination, it changes the url back to a clunky and ugly url.
I don't want it to be required to have parts of the url, that is something I really don't want..
e.g I don't want the url to be required to be /news/1/55/5, instead id like it to be optional.
Thank you for your time, it is appreciated!
Additional Information
The links in my news script currently display like so:
news.php?page=1&ipp=55id=5
I don't like to see ugly urls like that, and want to make the url look better using mod_rewrite, It would be better if the urls would display like so:
/news/PAGE/IPP/ID/ -> return news.php?page=1&ipp=55id=5
Also, to make it as user friendly as possible, I don't want any of the fields to be required as such, so for example I would like to have the following link accessible at all times without it requiring the other fields.
/news/ID/
Then, when the user clicks a pagination link, it would use the following link structure:
/news/PAGE/IPP/ID/ -> return news.php?page=1&ipp=55id=5
This is all from user feedback of my site, and is something that people have been asking for. Problem is, I don't understand even simple .htaccess
Thanks
RewriteBase /
# add slash to end of url if not present (and do a redirect)
RewriteCond $0 !/$
RewriteRule ^news([^\.]*)$ $0/ [L,R=302]
# rewrite url with format /news/[<id>/[<page>/[<ipp>/]]]
RewriteRule ^news/(?:([0-9]+)/)?(?:([0-9]+)/)?(?:([0-9]+)/)?$ /news.php?id=$1&page=$2&ipp=$3 [L]
Not sure what ipp is supposed to be, but my guess is it shows the number of item per page. I would personally not like to have that in my url.
You can have :
news/id/page/ipp with
RewriteRule ^news(/?)$ news.php [L]
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)-(.*)_([0-9]+)(/?)$ news.php?page=$1&ipp=$2&id=$3 [L]
news/1222-subjet-for-example_34
return :
news.php?page=1222&ipp=subject-for-example&id=34
use (/?) instead of create many rules ;)
Hope it's works for you.
I'am redirecting about 100 hmtl pages to a single PHP page (example.php) using .htaccess. It is working perfectly.
I've pagination on that page (example.php) but I am using the original HTML page URL (example.html?page=2&limit=20)
so example.html, example1.html, example2.html, example3.html are all redirecting to example.php.
The address bar is still showing ".html" URL but due to .htaccess redirection the example.php is rendering.
when is click on a pagination link (example.html?page=2&limit=20) the browser address bar shows correct .html URL and query string.
I've tried to get the values of page, and limit using $_GET and $_REQUEST in (example.php) but i am not successful.
Please help me in reading the (example.html?page=2&limit=20) query string parameeters .
Edit Code ported from comments:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^page-(.*)$
RewriteRule ^page-(.*)$ size-content.php?sef=$1 [L]
Add the QSA flag, which means "query-string append" to be sure the existing query string is ported into the rewritten URL.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^page-(.*)$
RewriteRule ^page-(.*)$ size-content.php?sef=$1 [L,QSA]
.htaccess modify your server configuration.
if you are making redirection then you change your request.
Try mod_rewrite if you are using Apache of course.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^example\.html\?(.*) example.php?$1
Mod rewrite is module to Apache. It is not allowed on most free hostings.
Yasir - you can resolve this problem by two ways:
1) Re-write rules for .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^page-(.).html(.)/(.)$
RewriteRule ^page-(.).html(.)/(.)$ size-content.php?sef=$1&page=$2&limit=$3 [L]
This rule will handle: page-example.html?page=2&limit=20
I hope - you will easily understand the above rule.
Note: Keep one thing in your mind that every link should be in same pattern if you change rule in htaccess.
2) You can resolve this problem on your "size-content.php"
Suppose page-example.html?page=2&limit=20
$_GET['sef'] = example.html?page=2&limit=20 [according to you .htaccess]
Now you can parse this string via explode function
Thanks
