htaccess rewriting URLs with multiple forward slashes - php

Trying to work out a set of .htaccess mod_rewrite rules that will set these links:
domain.com/content-page
domain.com/region/another-page
domain.com/region/brand/more-content-here
to fetch files:
domain.com/content-page.php
domain.com/region-another-page.php
domain.com/region-brand-more-content-here.php
Where 'region' and 'brand' and the page name are all variable/changeable.
So far I have:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,C]
RewriteRule ([^/]+)/([^/]+) $1-$2 [NC,L]
This works but only for one forward slash. As mentioned above, URLs after the domain may have none, one or two forward slashes. Haven't had any luck trying to extend this to deal with multiple (or not) slashes.

Try:
RewriteEngine On
# pass through root
RewriteRUle ^(index\.php)?$ - [L]
# no more / so add extension
RewriteCond $1 !/
RewriteCond $1 !\.php$
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILEAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ /$1-$2 [L]

how to remove forward slash from specific url using htaccess

I have the following .htaccessfile
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
And I have the following url:
http://localhost/mysite/loginPage/
I want to ensure that this url will never ends with forward slash (loginPage/).
I tried to use the following lines:
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/(\?.*)?$ $1$2 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/[^/]+)/.+$ - [L,R=404]
But I get error message in all cases that page is not redirecting properly. Please have in mind that I want this just for the specific URL above, i don't care for the rest of the site.
It depends on where you put the rule for your rewrite. The examples you provided do work. But you have to put them before your last htaccess line.
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/(\?.*)?$ $1$2 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
This will create the proper output, and can be tested through something like a htaccess tester
If you want it specifically for just that url you could resort to:
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^mysite/loginPage/$ mysite/loginPage? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
You could also specify an absolute redirect with
RewriteRule ^mysite/loginPage/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/mysite/loginPage? [R=301,L]
I want this just for the specific URL above
In that case, your rule should just match specifically this URI rather than .*/.* etc.
Have your rules like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/mysite/loginPage)/$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt) [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php/$0 [L]
You don't really need QSA flag in last rule also.
Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing this change.

htaccess remove .php extension from URLs with multiple forward slashes

I need to 301 redirect all URLs ending in .php to the non extension version. But the rewrite rules need to work with the existing ones below.
# ==== REWRITE URLS ====
RewriteEngine On
# pass through root
RewriteRule ^(index\.php|Sitemap\.xml)?$ - [L]
# no more / so add extension
RewriteCond $1 !/
RewriteCond $1 !\.php$
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php$
RewriteRule ^(_assets|_css|_fonts|_includes|_scripts)($|/) - [L] #exclude these folders using the 'last: L' flag
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ /$1-$2 [L]
This is an extension of this question here.
So the desired result is:
domain.com/region/brand/more-content-here.php
Redirects permanently to:
domain.com/region/brand/more-content-here
But fetches the actual file at:
domain.com/region-brand-more-content-here.php
Tried a few various ideas but they didn't seem to work in with the existing rules and htaccess is not my strength. Also need it to be querystring friendly. Any help would be appreciated.
To remove the .php extension ,you can use :
RewriteEngine on
#1)Permanently redirect "foo.php" to "/foo"#
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [NE,L,R=301]
#2)Rewrite "/foo" to "/foo.php"#
#this will internally redirect file to file.php#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]
Working code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f

Variable Rewrite for multiple .php pages

Im trying to access two of my pages and rewrite their urls with .htaccess.
First page I'm trying to access:
http://api.aotikbot.tv/polls.php?username=aotik
Second page I'm trying to access:
http://api.aotikbot.tv/getpoll.php?poll=917529
My current .htaccess code:
# Apache Rewrite Rules
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Add trailing slash to url
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/|#(.*))$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [R=301,L]
# Remove .php-extension from url
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9-]+/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ polls.php?username=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9-]+/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ getpoll.php?poll=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.php
# Remove .html-extension from url
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.html
# End of Apache Rewrite Rules
</IfModule>
The first page works as /polls/username but the second doesn't read the poll value and I think redirects to polls.php.
Could anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9-]+/([0-9-]+)/?$ getpoll.php?poll=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9-]+/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ polls.php?username=$1 [NC,L]
Here, I've swapped your two rules around, so we check for IDs first (for getpoll - note how I have removed letters from the expression). If we're not doing an ID check (ie, there are letters in the segment), then it'll rewrite for polls.
Update:
Per arco444, if the username is a number, this wouldn't work. This is a more specific solution:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^getpoll/([0-9-]+)/?$ getpoll.php?poll=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^polls/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ polls.php?username=$1 [NC,L]

Htaccess: add/remove trailing slash from URL

My website runs a script called -> WSS wallpaper script
My Problem -> I have been trying to force remove or add trailing slash to the end of my URL to prevent duplicated content and also to clean up my URLs.
I have tried all sorts and tried everything I could think of and loads from the interwebs but no such luck yet! It might be a quick fix but I have looked at it so much I am probably blind to something dead obvious.
So I present you with all my .htaccess code:

Right below the RewriteEngine On line, add:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R] # <- for test, for prod use [L,R=301]
to enforce a no-trailing-slash policy.
To enforce a trailing-slash policy:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [L,R] # <- for test, for prod use [L,R=301]
EDIT: commented the R=301 parts because, as explained in a comment:
Be careful with that R=301! Having it there makes many browsers cache the .htaccess-file indefinitely: It somehow becomes irreversible if you can't clear the browser-cache on all machines that opened it. When testing, better go with simple R or R=302
After you've completed your tests, you can use R=301.
To complement Jon Lin's answer, here is a no-trailing-slash technique that also works if the website is located in a directory (like example.org/blog/):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]
For the sake of completeness, here is an alternative emphasizing that REQUEST_URI starts with a slash (at least in .htaccess files):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L] <-- added slash here too, don't forget it
Just don't use %{REQUEST_URI} (.*)/$. Because in the root directory REQUEST_URI equals /, the leading slash, and it would be misinterpreted as a trailing slash.

This removes html code or php if you supplement it. Allows you to add trailing slash and it come up as well as the url without the trailing slash all bypassing the 404 code. Plus a little added security.

.htaccess problem

I want to redirect what's in link after localhost/myScript/ to localhost/myScript/test.php?var=$1.
So.. something like
localhost/myScript/this/is/just/a/test/
(with or without the last slash) would redirect to
localhost/myScript/test.php?var=this/is/just/a/test
This is what I've got, but it's not good enough.
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ test.php?var=$1
I've tried using
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ test.php?var=$1
But, I get $_GET['var'] = 'test.php'.
I see 2 main approaches:
1. Two separate rules to deal with URL with and without trailing slash. It will only rewrite requests to non-existing files/folder thus preventing rewrite loop you are having:
# work with URL that ends with slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ test.php?var=$1 [L]
# work with the rest of URLs (that ends with no slash)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ test.php?var=$1 [L]
2. Have separate rule to ignore existing files (to not to rewrite already rewritten URLs) and then use 1 line rewrite rule for URL with and without trailing slash:
# do not do anything for already existing files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .+ - [L]
# rewrite URLs
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])/$ test.php?var=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ test.php?var=$1 [L]
I would prefer #2.
this is better one
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.+?)$ test.php?var=$1 [L]
