.htaccess with multiple rules - php

I want to create an htaccess file with the following rules:
I want to redirect:
http://computingessentials.tk/episodes/6
To:
http://computingessentials.tk/episodes.php?id=6
Same applies with the remaining episode.php ids
Next, I want to redirect:
http://computingessentials.tk/episode.php?id=56
To:
http://computingessentials.tk/episode/56
Same applies with the remaining episode.php ids
And last but not the least, I want to remove all the .php extensions of the files.
Since I am farlynew to htaccess i don't really know how to get all of these in an htaccess.
Help would be very much appreciated.

Make sure your mod rewrite of apache is on and put these rules in .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^episodes/([0-9]+)$ episodes.php?id=$1 [L]

You can use these 2 rules in your root .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
# external redirect from actual URL to pretty one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+episodes\.php\?id=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /episodes/%1? [R=301,L]
# internal forward from pretty URL to actual one
RewriteRule ^episodes/([^/.]+)/?$ /episodes.php?id=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

Remove %2523 from url and redirect to new, without that using .htaccess

I don't have an idea how can I remove %2523 from URL made by GET in php. I want to redirect users to page without that. Sometimes it has # on string beggining, and that's why it generates that "%2523".
For example, want to redirect them from something like:
localhost/catalog/value/%2523string
to
localhost/catalog/value/string
My current .htaccess file:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/catalog/value\.php\?value=([^/]*)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /catalog/value/%1? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^catalog/([^/]*)$ /value/value.php?color=$1 [L]
Hopefully you can help me with that, trying from yesterday and still didn't nothing works.
Finally i solved that by adding this at the .htaccess beggining:
RewriteRule ^([^%]*)\%23(.*)$ /catalog/value/$2 [R=301,L]

how to rewrite single URL using .htaccess

I need to rewrite only 1 specific URL, to display to visitors specific content: I tried something like, this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} example.com/test/2_5/page.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ example.com/tt.html [R,L]
I need to rewrite all requests to:
http://example.com/test/2_5/page.html
to
http://example.com/tt.html
how to do this?
thanks,
Redirect /test/2_5/page.html /tt.html
Ok, mod_rewrite
RewriteRule ^/test/2_5/page.html /tt.html [L]
Remove first / if using .htaccess in the site's root folder, not the .conf file. And, typically, the final url should be the full one, with http:// and domain, but this one will work too. If you want to do everything by the rules then
RewriteRule ^/test/2_5/page\.html$ http://example.com/tt.html [L]

PHP/.htaccess: removing php extension from url

I was using .htaccess code to remove .php extension for all my web pages. Here's the code I use:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond /%{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-\s]+)/$ /$1.php
It doesn't seem to work. I think I'm missing something. When I type www.mysite.com/about/ to get www.mysite.com/about.php it returns error 404 (page not found). Can someone please shed some light.
Thanks,
Paul G.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# If folder does not exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# and file exist
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f
# uncomment the below rule if you want the "/" to be required
# otherwise leave as is
# RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php [L]
# internally show the content of filename.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ $1.php [L]
The above rule will:
will not redirect if a folder exist
will not redirect if the file does not exist
will redirect what comes before the / if one is present as the file name
So it will work for all these examples:
http://domain.com/about/
http://domain.com/about
http://domain.com/contact/
http://domain.com/contact
If you want you can remove the ?, like the commented rule, to make it accept only URL's that end with a /.
http://domain.com/about/
http://domain.com/contact/
Now these are important step for the above to work:
It must go into the .htaccess on your root folder for example /home/youraccount/public_html/.htaccess
The Options before the rewrite rule are very important specially -MultiViews
The file must exist on the same place the .htaccess is for example in your case the about.php file
The PHP must be working obviously.
It seems like the slash at the end of your rule might be there, or it might not. Adding a ? makes it optional, so that mysite.com/about and mysite.com/about/ will both match.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-\s]+)/?$ /$1.php
It's hard to say if this is what's causing your problem, or if something else is, though. Does mysite.com/about.php also give you an error?

.htaccess file not redirecting - guidance wanted

I have this url:
details
the url becomes in addressbar:
http://web228.sydney.webhoster.ag/soputnik/drive_to_london/?procid=12
but I want to process the logic in details.php.
How can I process the data in details.php in background and keep the first url in the address?
I tried this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^drive_to_(.*)$ http://web228.sydney.webhoster.ag/soputnik/details.php [R=301,L]
but it is not working, error is: NOT FOUND
please help
Substitute your code with this:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^test/drive_to_(.*?)/?$ /test/details.php [L,NC]
If you don't want the URL to change, then it's not a redirect, just a rewrite.
Change:
RewriteRule ^/test/drive_to_(.*)$ /test/details.php [R=301,L]
To something like:
RewriteRule ^/test/drive_to_(.*)$ /test/details.php?city=$1 [L]
dont forget to pass any url params to details.php.
Rewriterule ^/drive_for_(.*)/\?(.*)$ http://domain.de/test/details.php/?$1 [R=301,L]
it seems relevant that you want to pass the city name as well, otherwise that context gets lost in the rewrite. If that is another url param you could pass it through to details.php as such
Rewriterule ^/drive_for_(.*)/\?(.*)$ http://domain.de/test/details.php/?$2&city=$1 [R=301,L]

Using Mod Rewrite to rewrite a url?

I have the following format:
http://www.mydomain.com/view/product/ID/CAT/TITLE
ID and CAT are both numeric. So, some real examples:
http://www.mydomain.com/view/product/1/2/ipod
http://www.mydomain.com/view/product/3/4/40-inch-tv
etc
I want to know if I should try to use mod rewrite, and how, or if I should rather fix the PHP to handle the paths correctly. I want to map the above to something like:
http://www.mydomain.com/CATEGORY/SUB_CATEGORY/TITLE
Any ideas?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ /$1/ [R]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ index.php?cat=$1
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ /$1/$2/ [R]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ index.php?cat=$1&subcat=$2
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ /$1/$2/$3/ [R]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ index.php?cat=$1&subcat=$2&title=$3
in php you can get the variables as you would normally do, also you will need a rule for all variables entered and/or only category or sub-category or you will end up with a 404 when someone tries to access those pages
I would say that your question is not totally clear to me. Going by your examples what do you want your target URL to become from http://www.mydomain.com/view/product/1/2/ipod.
Will it be: http://www.mydomain.com/2/1/ipod ?
If yes then enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^view/product/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ $2/$1/$3 [L,R,NC]
