OK, first of let me just say I understand that this is a question that has been asked before. I just can't narrow it down to keywords and find what I'm looking for. So sorry in advance if this is a duplicate. htaccess rewrite is like black magic to me... I can't really get it to work.
To the question at hand:
I'm writing a simple barebone php/html site. I haven't done this in about 10 years (I usually use some CMS (wordpress, joomla etc.)). I'm trying to get a handle on some of the things that "come for free" with these CMSs. Like pretty URLs.
I have a simple index.php with some includes to build the pages. Then I have my includes folder with my dynamic content.
So two case examples of the actual URLs
index.php?page=index (my main page)
index.php?page=anotherpage (another page)
But what if I want to go to
index.php?page=a-sub-page-to-another-page
This is my PHP (index.php in web root folder)
if(isset($_GET["page"])){
$page = $_GET["page"];
$filename = "/includes/" . $page . ".php";
if(file_exists($filename)){
include("/includes/head.php");
include("/includes/navbar.php");
include $filename;
include("/includes/footer.php");
}else{
include("/includes/404.php");
}
}else{
include("/includes/head.php");
include("/includes/navbar.php");
include("/includes/index.php");
include("/includes/footer.php");
}
This is my .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?page=$1
This works as long as I don't have any sub pages. But If I try to go to [root]/somepage/somsubpage then it doesn't work anymore. Can someone please help me out here? I'm looking to replicate the effect I get with standard CMSs like wordpress, where all URLs are SEO friendly.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1
no in you php variable $_GET['page'] will have full url for example:
example.com/foo/barr
so $_GET['page'] => /foo/barr
However this is the first part only you would need do special function to map url to your page.
do SEO pages is to store do something like: example.com/some-url/of-my-special/page-in-here.1111.html so this is your url you make it as so you need to look at .xxxxx.html xxxx is variable so now if u write htaccess like:
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.(\d+)\.html$ index.php?fullurl=$1&pageid=$2
$_GET['fullurl'] => /some-url/of-my-special/page-in-here.1111.html
$_GET['pageid'] => 1111
Please! If anyone reads this... I'm still stuck on what to do... And I
can't find anything but mysql related articles. I've searched for
days. I just need to understand how to rewrite the PHP in my original
post to work with sub-pages, dynamically with variables. Ex.
index.php?page=index, index.php?page=secondPage,
index.php?page=secondPage&SubPage <-- this is the part I can't find
anything on. How do I get the php to look for more than one level
strings?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ index.php?level1=$1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)\/([^/])+$ index.php?level1=$1&level2=$2
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)\/([^/])+\/([^/])+$ index.php?level1=$1&level2=$2&level3=$3

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 :)
My website is a custom made PHP website. I recently made it SEO friendly by copying the .htaccess file from wordpress and modify it a little. The problem is that some pages are realoaded twice especialy pages that have more than 1 backslash like download/something/ . I have noticed this when tracking pageviews one pageviews is counted as twice and i've done a lot of research regarding this and the pageviews are working good it's a very simple function that inserts a new row each time you view a page.
Things to keep in mind:
My website is inside some folders 'https://localhost/simbyone/sim/index.php'.
I don't want to use any GET variables i will have my variables from the URL string
I want .htaccess to look for existing directories located inside 'https://localhost/simbyone/sim/' and if it doesn't find any open index.php with all the strings attached something like 'localhost/simbyone/sim/blabla/' but inside index.php
everything works exactly as i said above the only thing that doesn't do right is that it double loads some pages
this is my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /simbyone/sim/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /simbyone/sim/index.php [L]
Thanks in advance to anyone that will help me.
Place the .htaccess inside your base folder (in your case, simbyone/sim).
Just put this in the file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php
This will rewrite and request that is not an existing file or folder to the index.php file.
There you can use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to evalute the request (keep in mind that the prefix "/simbyone/sim/" will be present there.
Hello i need to make my url clean and i just do not know were to start as it is mind boggling, i have read numerous things in regards to clean urls but i have no idea.
This what i am getting on woorank as i am doing my seo.
Warning! We've detected parameters in a significant number of URLs.
I am unsure if this is right i have taken my real domain out and put my site instead
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^//(\.)?My site/.*$[NC]
#RewriteRule .(png|gif|jpg)$ – [F]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^ My site.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) My site.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
Thank you J C
A basic htaccess can look like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^mysite.co.uk [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.co.uk/$1 [r=301,nc]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2&p3=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?p1=$1 [L]
For every new parameters you just add ([^/.]+)/ and extra parameter in the end..
What happens in code is up to you, but you will need a standard way of working if you want to use something like this.. .
NOTE: you can't just implement this now, because your site needs to be fully build to the structure of your htaccess.. So if you would replace this now, alot of others things might get broken soon... .
It depends. As Naruto pointed out. We need to know the structure of your code. Give some examples of how the urls are now and what you want them to look like. The examples will explain a bit how you might have programmed the website.
e.g. different php file for each page /about.php, /register.php or a single entry /index.php with every page having the same parameter keys.
/index.php?page=page1&foo=bar&qux=norf
/index.php?page=page2&foo=bar
or perhaps each page has different parameter names
/index.php?page=page1&foo=bar
/index.php?page=page2&qux=norf
What you can always do is redirect to a single index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
index.php now needs to route everything approperiately. This basically does the same as what Naruto suggests but instead in php directly and this might be easier for you.
How this routing happens depends on your code and is up to you. But let us assume that you have a different file for each page with different parameters. You could do this without changing the rest of your code.
// FROM: /shop.php?category=software&subcategory=webdevelopment
// TO: /shop/software/webdevelopment
$path = explode('/',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
if($path[0] == 'shop') {
$_GET['category'] == $path[1];
$_GET['subcategory'] == $path[2];
include('shop.php');
}
This way only one file needs to be edited and the rest of your code can still work with the $_GET. This is the same as what you would do in your htaccess.
I am trying to change my website URL according to get variables so that I can increase the security of my website.
For example I want to change my address, this is my htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /category.php?cat_id=$1&mode=full&start=$1
And my website URL is:
http://joinexam.in/category.php?cat_id=17&mode=full&start=36
I want to convert this URL to:
http://joinexam.in/category/1736
where cat_id = 17
and start= 36
So it will become 1736 after the category.php page, I am trying to do it by using .htaccess file.
Here I want to take both cat_id and start as get variable, then according to these get variables, I want to change the URL of my website.
Can anyone explain the correct way to achieve this?
.htaccess
This forwards every URL to index.php.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.*$ ./index.php
PHP
Get the "original" URL inside index.php:
// this gives you the full url
$request_uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
// split the path by '/'
$params = split("/", $request_uri);
Then you might route based on these $params.
As a good and fast router lib i suggest: https://github.com/nikic/FastRoute
By using this, you don't have to mess around with htaccess regexp stuff and can keep things at the PHP level :)
I've done things very similar before but for some reason I'm having a little difficulty with the specific scenario. I want to pass a folder path as a variable and make it look pretty.
I have a working url like:
http://mysite.com/albums/index.php?p=folder/subfolder/
I can view it without the 'index.php' like:
http://mysite.com/albums/?p=folder/subfolder/
What I want is a pretty url that looks like this:
http://mysite.com/albums/folder/subfolder/
Basically, anything after /albums/ should be a single variable. I've played with my .htaccess RewriteRule a bunch and can't seem to get it working. (get 404 errors) This is what I currently have:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^albums/(.*)$ albums/?p=$1
below is what i use though every call is directed to my index.php file and from there i do anything with it
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.*$ ./index.php
Hope it helps
Change (.*) into (.+) to ensure there is at least one character after / , otherwise your rule loops...
