I have a rewrite condition in my .htaccess file which removes the need for .php file extension
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.php
so http://site.com/blog opens http://site.com/blog.php
but if old users type /blog.php it will also load the page
is there a way to prevent or redirect pages with .php or any other file extention to the one without it?
i mean if user entered /blog.php or /blog.asp it should either fail to load or redirect to /blog (without extention)
A better way to accomplish this would be to only rewrite if a .php by that name exists. Otherwise throw 404 for the original URL. The second set of rules would take care of removing the extension and avoiding the redirect loop.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(?:GET|POST)\ /.*\.php\ HTTP.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ $1 [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)\.php$ $1 [R=301,L]
You can use the rule
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ $1 [R=301,L]
This would cause apache to send back a redirect to the browser which would update it's URL to the one stripped from the extension. But make sure to place this rule in front of the one the redirects to .php internally
Try this:
RewriteRule ^(.*?)\.([a-z0-9]+)$ $1 [R=301,L]

I want to remove the .php filename extension from the URL, I have already written code in the .htaccess file but I am missing something because by default when I open the page it doesn't have the .php extension, but if I manually add the .php extension in the URL then the page also opens, which I want to avoid.
.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
# rewrite category
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog-category/(.*)$ blog-category.php?category=$1 [NC,L]
# rewrite blog
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ blog.php?title=$1 [NC,L]
# error pages
RewriteEngine On
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
# on 301 error redirect to softcrayons.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^softcrayons.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.softcrayons.com/$1 [R=301,L]
You have nothing in that dynamic configuration file that actually prevents scripts being called directly. You have to add another redirection for that:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^/?([^.]+)\.php$ $1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^/?([^.]+)/?$ $1.php [L]
This will force an external redirection (so change the URL visible in the browser) and a second request for all requests that use the .php file name extension and where that file actually exists.
Note that you may have to take care to not create an endless rewrite loop.
I also added some additional condition to only internally rewrite to .php if that file actually exists.
If you really want to create an error, a http status 404 for requests to URLs that have the .php file name extension then replace the rewriting rule in the code above like that:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^/?([^.]+)\.php$ - [R=404]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^/?([^.]+)/?$ $1.php [L]
Note however that as already said I think that is a stupid thing to do. Why frustrate your users with an error? You know what they actually want and you can fulfill that request. Think positive!
And a general hint: you should always prefer to place such rules inside the http servers (virtual) host configuration instead of using dynamic configuration files (.htaccess style files). Those files are notoriously error prone, hard to debug and they really slow down the server. They are only provided as a last option for situations where you do not have control over the host configuration (read: really cheap hosting service providers) or if you have an application that relies on writing its own rewrite rules (which is an obvious security nightmare).

Link will redirect you to the home.php file, and your url will be example.com/home hope this will help you.

What I normally do with link building is sending all my traffic to my index.php whitch splits it into a MVC framework, this is the important part of my .htaccess for you:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?path=$1 [L,QSA]
What does this .htaccess do rule by rule?
Options +FollowSymLinks
http://www.maxi-pedia.com/FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
Checks or the requested file isn't a direct path to a directory or actual file, correct me if I am wrong, because I am not 100% sure.
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?path=$1 [L,QSA]
Rewrites the path from "/test/testings/lalalala" into "index.php?path=/test/testings/lalalala".
I hope that this was the answer where you were looking for.
I'm trying to get the following functionality to work in PHP without a framework. I don't want to have to worry about setting up a super complicated framework for every PHP application I do.
http://domain.com/sign_up.php
becomes
http://domain.com/sign_up/
http://domain.com/user.php?id=432
becomes
http://domain.com/user/?id=432
Or if there is a way to get that to become http://domain.com/user/432 but i'm not sure how to handle multiple $_GET variables in that scenario so that's optional.
This works pretty well so far:
RewriteRule ^sign_up/([^/]*)$ /sign_up.php?p=$1 [L]
The only problem is I have to do that for every single php file i'm using which can become a lot.
What is a universal way to do it for all php files?
UPDATES:
This one line is working perfectly:
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/$ $1.php [NC]
Only issue is it doesn't auto redirect PHP
For example, I want to 301 auto redirect:
http://domain.com/file.php
to
http://domain.com/file/
And
http://domain.com/file.php?var1=value&var2=value
to
http://domain.com/file/?var1=value&var2=value
If anyone can think of a better way to handle query string values in a more SEO friendly way that would be awesome! But otherwise this is working pretty great so far.
MORE UPDATES:
Now this is working:
http://domain.com/file/ - to -
http://domain.com/file.php
Both of those point to the same page with this htaccess code:
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/$ $1.php [NC]
However http://domain.com/file without the trailing / returns a page not found error.
Also I need to know how to auto redirect http://domain.com/file.php to http://domain.com/file/
MOSTLY WORKING HTACCESS
This .htaccess works beautifully:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(php|html?|jpg|gif)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$2/ [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/$ $1.php [NC]
The only thing it doesn't do is auto redirect if they go directly to http://domain.com/file.php it does not redirect to http://domain.com/file/ but everything else about it is working.
Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d # not a dir
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f # not a file
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f # but php exists
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)?$ $1.php?p=$2 [L]
However http://domain.com/file without the trailing / returns a page not found error.
That's because your rule does not match unless there's a / at the end.
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/$ $1.php [NC]
^
You can make it optional with ? as
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [L]
Note, that / does not need a \ before it. It works with or without it.
Also I need to know how to auto redirect http://domain.com/file.php to http://domain.com/file/
# Rewrite original .php request to new URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/ [R,L]
# Resolve the new URLs to .php files
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [L]
If you get this working first, we can see what we can do about the query parameters later.
Your final htaccess could look like
# Rewrite original .php request to new URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/ [R,L]
# Force a trailing / if not a file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..{3,4}$
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$2/ [L,R=301]
# Redirect to php if not an existing dir
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1.php [L]
You'll probably want something like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# redirect with trailing parameter
RewriteRule ^([\w]+).php?p=([\w]+)$ $1/$2/ [QSA,R=301]
# redirect bare php files
RewriteRule ^([\w]+).php$ $1/ [QSA,R=301]
# make sure it's not a request to an existing file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# make sure we have a trailing slash
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [QSA,R=301]
# internally point to the right file
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]*)/?$ $1.php?p=$2 [QSA,L]
The [R=301] appendixes redirect the browser to the new URL with a 301, moved permanently status header. That way the browser will know where to find the right url in the future, without asking the server.
Also, sometimes an .htaccess checker is useful: http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ Do note, the tool doesn't work with %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.
I'm trying to accomplish 2 things in my .htaccess:
Redirect all requests for (in example) www.blanklabs.com/boarddrive/faq, www.blanklabs.com/boarddrive/faq.htm, www.blanklabs.com/boarddrive/faq.html, or www.blanklabs.com/boarddrive/faq.php to www.blanklabs.com/boarddrive/faq.php
The browser's address bar should show just www.blanklabs.com/boarddrive/faq, without the extension.
Here is my current .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
# -- new
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php [L,QSA]
On the server I have faq.html (for now), but I also tried having both faq.html and faq.php. Eventually it'll just be faq.php.
The .htaccess is clearly incorrect, since if I go to www.blanklabs.com/boarddrive/faq.html I get the correct content (from faq.html), but if I go to www.blanklabs.com/boarddrive/faq.php I get a 500 error. This happens even if I have faq.php on the server.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The no-extensions is secondary, the primary goal is to redirect all requests from html to php files.
Place this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
# skip POST requests
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(.+?)\.(php|html?)[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)(\.html?)?$ /$1.php [L,QSA]
You need to redirect
/faq.htm
/faq.php
[using redirect directive]
to /faq
now just applying rewrite rule to this later condition [/faq] to
/faq.php
It should work.
I wish to accomplish 2 things with this .htaccess file.
1) All requests to .html point to .php
eg. user goes to: http://www.mywebsite.com/contact.html
Browser loads: http://www.mywebsite.com/contact.php
2) Request to http://www.mywebsite.com/contact will load the contact.php
(This should apply to all pages not just the contact page.
Here is my .htaccess file.
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
To be honest I have no idea what these are doing. I blended them together from a mismash of articles I read. Any help would be appreciated.
Try something like this. Follow the comment thread for security implications, but this is what you're asking to do
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Redirect HTML to PHP
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ $1.php [L]
# Otherwise, try PHP
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
# Lastly, fallback to error page
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . 404.php [L]
I need to explain something to you about htaccess file roles;
In this example, htaccess will try and match patterns, as you need in your example;
If a pattern is matched, then some action will happen;
you mark with () all the data than you need to be extracted from the url
For each rule, the first () will have the $1 id, the seccond () will have $2 and so on
if $1 is 'help' it will load the 'helpme.php' file maybe, and not the 'help.php' file; it will load the file that you want it to be loaded;
using $1, $2 ... you can pass parameters and values to the real/translated url request
in my example, i wanted to always use the index.php file, you will use whatever file you need
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z-]+)$ index.php?action=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(member)-([0-9-]+)$ index.php?action=member&id=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z-]+)/([a-zA-Z-]+)-([0-9-]+)$ index.php?action=$1&saction=$2&sid=$3 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z-]+)/([0-9-]+)$ index.php?action=$1&id=$2 [NC,L]

If you are wanting all of your .html files to point to .php file a simple way of doing so would be
RewriteRule ([\w\d\-_]+)(\.html)? $1.php [L]
This allows you also to use sub-directories
contact.html would redirect to contact.php
/subdir/page.html would redirect to /subdir/page.php and so on
