I have a problem with Htacces file , the thing is I am trying to do a Profile URL
ex : www.mysite.com/profilename --> this link will take me to the user profile and its working because of
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ profile.php?u=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ profile.php?u=$1
no the thing is whenever I try to access any other directory for example www.mysite.com/login it changes the url to www.mysite.com/login/u?=login
Depending on if login is an actual file or directory rather than another script needing another htaccess rule.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
This checks first to see if the directory or file exists before executing your RewriteRule directive.

I am trying to display the details of specific project based on the parameter i.e id passed on the url. But i don't want the page and the varialble be displayed on the url and wish to use only the parameter to do further funtioning by using $_GET['id']. My code somewhat works this way....
Get Detail
address bar is :: localhost/project/details.php?id=1456
can i get something like :: localhost/project/1456
thank you.
Create a .htaccess file in your project folder and copy these lines into .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/project/([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /project/your_file_to_run.php?id=$1 [L]
In your php file your_file_to_run.php you can use $_GET['id'] to get the value of id
Put this in your project directory
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^([\d]+)$ details.php?id=$1
I assume You are using Apache. So enable mod-rewrite and put .htaccess file into your web root directory.
To configure frendly linka You need smth like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ details.php?id=$1 [NC,L]
--EMPTY LINE OR FILE WILL FAIL--
This file should reside in project dir
Empty line is important!
Currently, I'm trying to set up updates for passes that are added to the Wallet app on iOS.
One thing that is interesting is that having the url https://example.com/index.php/var1/var2 still works and index.php is still run. Is there a reason why this url format works?
.htaccess/mod_rewrite is the reason why it's working.
For example:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
Having this rules inside a file named .htaccess in the root folder of your website, will make the path /var1/var2 available inside $_GET['path']
This is my current .htaccess file:
DirectoryIndex requestHandler.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ requestHandler.php?/$0 [L,QSA]
I want to redirect alle requests to "requestHandler.php". It works now, but it is also possible to access sites with the direct link, and I don't want that.
For example:
It now works with ".../api/register" , but you can also access it but going to ".../register.php" and that shouldn't be possible. It should only be possible to go to register.php by ".../api/register".
I think I had it working before, but as I continued editing I've seemed to mess it up.
requestHandler.php should be working properly and when I enter ".../register.php" it is not at all redirected to requestHandler, but if I enter ".../registe.php" or ".../register.ph" it is redirected there.
Any solutions?
The rule you posted is only checking if the file/directory exists, and if it doesn't, then redirect to requestHandler.php. So naturally, if an existing file is entered in the URL, it will not redirect.
If you want all ".php" files to get redirected as well, you'll need a more specific Rewrite rules. Something like this maybe:
DirectoryIndex requestHandler.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ requestHandler.php?/$0 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ requestHandler.php?/$0 [L,QSA]
You can probably consolidate that into one rule block, but at least this way it's very readable. The second rule block is only checked if the requested file is not a file or a directory.
I have a directory in my site with a bunch of temporary PHP generated PDF files.
mysite.com/crm/pdfs/
I have an .htaccess file located in the pdfs/ directory with the intention of redirecting all requests within that folder to the index.php page within that folder and include the original request in the query string. For example,
When a browser is pointed to:
mysite.com/crm/pdfs/somepdf.pdf
it should be redirected to
mysite.com/crm/pdfs/index.php?p=somepdf.pdf
Here's my current try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA]
The problem with this is, when the user requests:
mysite.com/crm/pdfs/somepdf.pdf
They are instead redirected to
mysite.com/index.php
and the original request is not appended.
How can I achieve the desired result in my .htaccess that is located in the /pdfs directory?
Use this rule in your /pdfs/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /crm/pdfs/
RewriteRule ^(.+?\.pdf)$ index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
Every single time a user registers on my site I would like them to have their own subdirectory with their registered "username". Every user subdirectory will have the same "index.php" file which will do something.
For example: "/users/username1/" and "/users/username2/"
If some one wants to access the subdirectory they would simple go to:
"www.example.com/users/username1/" or "www.example.com/users/username2/"
The easy and messy solution would be to simply create a subdirectory for every user and place the same "index.php" file in every directory. But to me this is only going to crowd my server space and make my directories large.
I wanted to know if all this can be done using .htaccess? Can I create one "index.php" and one ".htaccess" file and place them both in my "/users/" directory? What would be the actual code that I would have to place in my .htaccess file??
If you have a better way of doing this please let me know. I am using Apache and PHP as my working environment.
Thank you
Well, for example, you could do it all with one htaccess like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
What it does:
switches on rewrite engine
checks if a requested file exists
checks if a requested directory exists
if NOT, it redirects request to your main index.php
Basically that means if you enter url such as yourdomain.com/users/ivan/, you request will be redirected to:
index.php?url=/users/ivan
then you $_GET['url'] in your index.php and split it into pieces.
That's just an example, there other mod_rewrite methods to do this.
Make it virtual. There are no subdirectories, you can use mod_rewrite to simulate that.
With mod_rewrite you can make /users/username1 lead to /users.php?user=username1 for instance. Everything is transparent for the client, he wont notice what is really happening.
By using something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([\-_0-9A-Za-z]+)$ index.php?a=$1 [L]
You can customize RewriteRule as much as you want.
You can essentially type in any directory you want, and it will be redirected to your index.php page.
If you want to make sure the existing directories are not redirected, do this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([\-_0-9A-Za-z]+)$ index.php?a=$1 [L]
If you want to limit the scope, so only a subdirectory of user/ is redirected (similar to Stack Overflow), simply add in 'user' to the start of the rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^user/([\-_0-9A-Za-z]+)$ index.php?a=$1 [L]
And finally, if you want to have an individual file handle all user requests seperate from your actual index.php page:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^user/([\-_0-9A-Za-z]+)$ users.php?a=$1 [L]
This is a very similar setup I use to distribute CSS files.
Note: The Directory will be contained is $_GET['a']
