Mobile Redirect with pretty URLs in .htaccess - php

I am trying to redirect my main site (www.mainsite.com) to my mobile site (m.mainsite.com) based on user agent in .htacess. I used the following code and it redirects to the m.mainsite.com properly.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (Android|AU-MIC|AUDIOVOX|ALCATEL|Blackberry|Blazer|Googlebot-mobile|Handheld|iPhone|iPod|Klondike|LG-|LGE-|Nokia|NokiaN8|Opera\ Mini|PalmOS|PalmSource|Smartphone|Symbian|WebOS|Windows\ CE|Windows\ Mobile|Windows\ Phone|nokia|UP.Link|UP.Browser)
RewriteRule (.*) http://m.mainsite.com/$1
However, when taken to the mobile site I seem to be losing the rewritten URL. So what should be m.mainsite.com/page1 goes to something like m.mainsite.com/index.php?url=page1.
I tried rewriting the URL using .htaccess on the mobile site but could not figure out how to remove the part after index.php. Can anyone help me figure out how to remove "index.php?url=" from m.mainsite.com/index.php?url=page1?
Or would it be easier to figure out how to address this via htaccess in the non-mobile version during the redirect.
Full code looks like:
[code]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mainsite.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mainsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\_(\?.*)?$ $1$2 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule .* - [env=REWRITE_ON:1]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(js|css|png|jpg|gif)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (Android|AU-MIC|AUDIOVOX|ALCATEL|Blackberry|Blazer|Googlebot-mobile|Handheld|iPhone|iPod|Klondike|LG-|LGE-|Nokia|NokiaN8|Opera\ Mini|PalmOS|PalmSource|Smartphone|Symbian|WebOS|Windows\ CE|Windows\ Mobile|Windows\ Phone|nokia|UP.Link|UP.Browser)
RewriteRule (.*) http://m.mainsite.com/$1[code]
Thanks

Looks like you have other rules that's interferring. You need to put all of your redirect rules before any internal routing rules. The index.php?url=page1 looks like your routing rule.
Place the mobile redirect near the top of your htaccess file.

.htaccess; Too many redirects if two different redirects in .htaccess

I've two types of URLs:
http://www.example.com/?content=contact_form.php
and
http://www.example.com/?content=product.php&id=20
I changed my whole URL system like this:
http://www.example.com/file/contact_form
and
http://www.example.com/product/I-m-the-title/20
Of course I made 301 redirect with .htaccess to tell Google and co. the new URL.
I made it like this:
# Rewrite URLs
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(ignore)($|/) - [L]
RewriteRule ^file/([^/]*)$ /?content=$1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /?content=$1.php&title=$2&id=$3 [L]
# Redirect old URL to new URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^content=contact\_form\.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^\/$
RewriteRule .* http://www.example.com/file/contact_form? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^content=product\.php&class=I-m-the-title$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^\/$
RewriteRule .* http://www.example.com/I-m-the-title/Test/20? [R=301,L]
My problem:
It's perfectly working for: http://www.example.com/?content=product.php&id=20
But for http://www.example.com/?content=contact_form.php I'm getting the message that it couldn't get opened because of too much redirect.
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? I hope anybody can help me soon because I have to fix it before Google misinterprets it.
Your rule cause an infinite loop because it is rewriting your uri to the same location again and again overriding your internal and external redirects.. To fix the Rewrite loop, add the following at the top of your htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

htaccess cant get rewrite seo friendly url

hi i have use many different htaccess codes, but i cant get rewrite to work.
i want this url

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /category.php?cat=$1 [L]
ErrorDocument 404 https://seoboost.no/404page.php

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ / [R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index\.php$ /$1/ [R=301]
i have try to delete all in my htaccess and only have this code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /category.php?cat=$1 [L]
but it still not working, is my server or what am i doing wrong??
Try replacing your .htaccess with
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^category/(.*)$ /category.php?cat=$1 [L]
which will redirect yoursite.com/category/12 to yoursite.com/category.php?cat=12 internally, and the user will never see the "ugly" url. Then inside your category.php file you can access the cat by $category_id = $_GET['cat']
A simple anchor tag looks like this:
Item 12
Pulling from Justin Lurman's answer here, the following should work:
RewriteEngine On
# redirect "/category.php?cat=..." to "/category/..." to hide a directly accessed "ugly" url
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/category\.php\?cat=(.+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /category/%1? [R=301,L]
# internally rewrite "/category/..." to "/category.php?cat=..."
RewriteRule ^category/(.+)$ /category.php?id=$1 [L]
As Justin noted in that answer to a similar question, you need to confirm that htaccess files are enabled/allowed in your Apache configuration and that mod_rewrite is enabled.
Additionally, I am sure you are aware, but just in case you are not, after implementing this new htaccess redirect rule, you should change all of the links on your webpages to use clean/friendly URLs. By doing so, neither your users nor a search engine crawler will access the "ugly" URLs unless they access them directly (via a bookmark or a saved link).

basic URL Rewriting in php issue

I have url coming on my web page like:
www.abc.com/product_list.php?id=12&pId=1&gpId=0
I want it to show like:
www.abc.com/product_list.php/12/1/0
i know this is very basic question but i am new in php.
your help will be really appreciated.
I did experiment like this but its not working: (in my htaccess file by googling)
RewriteRule ^product_list.php /product_list.php/id=$1/pId=$2/gpId=$3 [NC]
My .htaccessfile:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (google|yahoo|msn|aol|bing) [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} (google|yahoo|msn|aol|bing)
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ hamper-anastassia.php?$1 [L]
RewriteRule index.html$ /index.php
RewriteRule about.html$ /about.php
RewriteRule products.html$ /products.php
RewriteRule partners.html$ /partners.php
RewriteRule career.html$ /career.php
RewriteRule contact.html$ /contact.php
RewriteRule products_(.*)_(.*).html$ products.php?id=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^product_list/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /product_list.php?id=$1&pId=$2&gpId=$3 [NC]
You should remove the .php
A simple example to capture the first parameter.
RewriteRule ^products/([0-9]+)/?$ show_a_product.php?product_id=$1
More here
https://www.addedbytes.com/articles/for-beginners/url-rewriting-for-beginners/
Basically every pairing of brackets catches a variable, this is where the $1, $2, $3 comes from.
RewriteRule ^product_list.php/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /product_list.php?id=$1&pId=$2&gpId=$3 [NC]
As Geoffrey mentions you could go one step further and remove the need for .php but that's up to you, e.g:
RewriteRule ^product_list/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /product_list.php?id=$1&pId=$2&gpId=$3 [NC]
Meaning you could visit /product_list/12/1/0
Please remove/comment everything in your .htaccess file then type only these two statements
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^products/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ products.php?id=$1&pid=$2&gpid=$3
Your url should be like this:
/products/1/2/3
If your still getting and error check your mod_rewrite configurations

URL Rewrite multilanguage site

I have a multilanguage website made using wordpress running on apache 2.2. The url structure is www.domain.it for italian and www.domain.it/?lang=es for (for example) spanish.
My client owns also www.domain.es. My goal is to have users write www.domain.es and be redirected to www.domain.it/?lang=es
this is my htaccess:
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.es$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.it/$1/?lang=es [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
the last four rows are for wordpress to provide index.php in some specific cases. The other two are mine to achive the goal. What I get now is a 302 page telling me that the document has moved (it says again to www.domain.es. If I add R=301 I get no more luck.
What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me to stop banging my head around?
Do you want it to redirect? Or just handle the rewriting internally somehow?
You may need the L flag to tell it to stop trying to do anything else and just do that redirect:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.es$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.it/$1/?lang=es [L,QSA,R=301]

Magento multi language rewrites SEO fix?

I have made a website in with Magento in one language 2 years ago and now I would like to add another language.
My actual structure is like that
example.com/category/
example.com/about.html
example.com/product.html
and I would like to obtain a structure like this:
example.com/lang1/category/
example.com/lang1/about.html
example.com/lang1/product.html
example.com/lang2/category/
example.com/lang2/about.html
example.com/lang2/product.html
This is not a big deal since Magento allowes me us to do that simply logging in the backend ->System -> Configuration -> Web -> Add store code to Urls (YES)
I can't do this setting right now because before that I need to fix and do rewrites from the first structure to the new one.
example.com/everything_without_the_/lang1/_path to a permanent
example.com/lang1/everything
I need for example that the urls from the backlinks from posts from the socials and other webistes won't get a 404 error but will automatically be redirected with a 301 redirection to the equivalent page in the new structure.
So I would like to add a script like this in the natural language:
rewrite permanently all the urls which ends not with /lang1/ or /lang2/ to urls with the prefix /lang1/
I know that I could manually add rewrite rules with this schema in the Magento backend but I would prefer to know if it is possible to batch this directly from the database or with some script in the .htaccess or index.php and above all which one between these solutions will have a less negative impact in SEO and SERP.
I've found a solution
Hi I've found a solution:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.)?example.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/it/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/en/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /it/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.)?example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ it/index.php [L]
at a first look works, but I not guarantee.
I hope this will help
Cheers
Try this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/lang1/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/lang2/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1/lang1/ [R=301,L]
you can use .htaccess 301 url to make if possible with your own regex function
As you need some specific requirement to do with your language part
here i am giving you category example
Redirecting Subcategory URL with New Parent URL
Examples:
category/sub1 redirect to cat/sub1
category/sub2 redirect to cat/sub2
category/sub3 redirect to cat/sub3
This may be needed if you changed a parent Category URL or even if you want to remove the parent URL completely:
RewriteRule ^category/(.*) http://www.yourwebsite.com/cat/$1 [R=301, L]
OR to remove '/category/' completely from yourwebsite.com/category/sub and end up with yourwebsite.com/sub ('sub' can be any url):
RewriteRule ^category/(.*) http://www.yourwebsite.com/$1/ [R=301, L]
