I am rewriting this kind of urls
http://deia.info/category/calendar/10/
To
/index.php?task=browse_posts&catid=$2
By this code in the .htaccess
RewriteRule ^category/(.+)/(.+) /index.php?task=browse_posts&catid=$2
Which seems to do the job. The problem is when additional parameters are sent, those are ignored.
For example:
http://deia.info/category/calendar/10/?start_date=10
isset($_GET['start_date']) won't return true
Why?
When the incoming URL holds a query like in the OP example:
http://deia.info/category/calendar/10/?start_date=10
The way to combine (Append) it with/to a new query in the substitution URL, is by adding the QSA Flag.
So add [L,QSA], like this:
RewriteRule ^category/(.+)/(.+) /index.php?task=browse_posts&catid=$2 [L,QSA]

$url = example.com/your-new-key-is.php?key=5&submit=success
The above url consists query string and submit value, also it's not user friendly
Once I click the submit the new url want to be like that
$url = example.com/your-new-key-is-5/
I want to replace the key url with value(5) and truncate the part followed & symbol.
Anybody knows the answer ?
I think you can:
$url1 = example.com/your-new-key-is.php?key=5&submit=success
$url2 = example.com/your-new-key-is-5/
<?php
$url= str_replace($url1 , $url2);
?>
You can see more examples here: function.str-replace.php
You need to use mod rewrite. There are ways to write them. You can also use a rewrite rule generator to understand how its done.
Below are the rules that needs to go into the .htaccess file
# Rewrite --- example.com/your-new-key-is.php?key=5&submit=success => example.com/your-new-key-is-5/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)key=5($|&)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)submit=success($|&)
RewriteRule ^example\.com/your-new-key-is\.php$ /example.com/your-new-key-is-5/?&%{QUERY_STRING}
Here is a link to the Generator.
http://www.visiospark.com/mod-rewrite-rule-generator/
After you've written the rule to htaccess, you will enter in example.com/your-new-key-is-5/ which is equivalent to example.com/your-new-key-is.php?key=5&submit=success
I have a similar rule in my .htaccess
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.*)/$ /?name=$4&year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3
Example
http://www.example.com/news/2014/02/25/stackoverflow-is-cool/
Now I am required to add in extra parameter at the back such that it looks like
http://www.example.com/news/2014/02/25/stackoverflow-is-cool/?source=email
I wish to get the source value and I tried the following:
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([^/]*)/\?source=(.*)$ /?name=$4&year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&source=$5
but it's not working. Any advice?
Thank you.
I haven't tried this myself, can you please give it a try
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.*)/$ /?name=$4&year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3 [QSA]
The [QSA] Query String Append flag will retain the existing query strings. So your query string
http://www.example.com/news/2014/02/25/stackoverflow-is-cool/?source=email
Should get converted to
/?source=email&name=$4&year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3
Please give it a try.
Try
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([^/]*)/\?$ /?name=$4&year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&source=$5
When you get source value..... just use
$SrcVal = str_replace('source=','',$_GET['source']);
We're trying to migrate our forum to another platform and we have encountered links which have queries in them, such as
http://forum.test/threads/119312-Warnight-CS-GO?p=2306618&viewfull=1#post2306618
which has to point to http://forum.test/threads/warnight-cs-go.119312/#post-2306618
So the logical structure of the original link is :
http://{forum_base_url}/threads/{thread-id}-{thread-permalink}?p={post-id}&viewfull={post-number-in-thread}#post{post-id}
While the new one is:
http://{forum_base_url}/threads/{thread-permalink}.{thread-id}/#post-{post-id}
So for the rewrite to work we need to "pull" three things out of the original link: the thread-id, the permalink, and the post-id. The first two aren't an issue, it's the third one which doesn't want to cooperate.
After scouring the Internet for possible solutions, we came up with:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=(\d+)&viewfull=(\d+)#post(\d+)$
RewriteRule ^threads/([0-9]+)-(.*)$ /threads/$2\.$1/#post-%1? [R=301,NC,L]
But unfortunately, the rewrite doesn't work.
What throws us off regarding the rewrite is that there are multiple variables in the query and no .php file specified in the link itself, so we can't just use the solution offered here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2252242/1288397
Any tips on how to overcome this particular hurdle?
The #post- part of the URL is never sent to the server, it remains entirely on the browser's end, so there's no way to match against it. Luckily, the post ID is already in the query string so you can ignore it:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=(\d+)&viewfull=(\d+)$
RewriteRule ^threads/([0-9]+)-(.*)$ /threads/$2\.$1/#post-%1? [R=301,NC,L]
The other thing is that the thread-permalink is lowercase in your second URL. Not sure if that matters or not, but in order to change text to lowercase, you need to use a Rewrite Map, and the tolower internal function. You can only declare maps in the server vhost/config, so if you don't have access to those config files, you're not going to be able to use maps.
Thanks for clearing up the #post- aspect.
I tried your modification, but the links initially became:
http://forum.test/threads/warnight-cs-go.119312/%23post-2306618#post2306618
In order to work, the rewrite needs to be
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=(\d+)&viewfull=(\d+)$
RewriteRule ^threads/([0-9]+)-(.*)$ /threads/$2\.$1/#post-%1? [R=301,NC,NE,L]
Notice the additional NE (noscape) flag at the end
That's because, by default, special characters, such as & and ?, will be converted to their hexcode equivalent. Using the [NE] flag prevents that from happening, as seen here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/flags.html#flag_ne
I'm writing a simple URL routing code based on using mod_rewrite to pass the URI as a GET parameter, like Drupal does. So I have the rule:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [QSA,L]
And the URL http://www.example.com/test/1 would give me "/test/1/" passed as value $_GET['q'], instead of the usual index.php/test/1 and having to extract that from $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].
The thing is, the mod_rewrite QSA flag allows me to still use query strings normally, which I find very useful for parameters like filters and pagination, like "/products/category/?pg=1".
Will this work the same on Nginx and Lighttpd servers? I'd like my code to be portable.
Thanks.
No, in either case you'll have to translate your rules into each server's specific syntax. Some links to get you started:

I am trying to combine these four get variables (sch, val, lmt, ord) into a nice looking url re_write. Currently I have the following in my .htaccess file and it works if all variables are included, however, if I only input the first two variables (sch & val) it breaks:
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$
search.php?sch=$1&val=$2&lmt=$3&ord=$4 [L]
www.domain.com/search/City/London/5/asc works
www.domain.com/search/City/London but this doesn't
Why not just add the other rewrite rules ahead of it. IE:
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]*)$
search.php?sch=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$
search.php?sch=$1&val=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([0-9]*)$
search.php?sch=$1&val=$2&lmt=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([0-9]*)/([^/]*)$
search.php?sch=$1&val=$2&lmt=$3&ord=$4 [L]
That should work. Not sure if it is what you want, but I do not really think it is "possible" to do that without just doing a query and passing the full query string as one line then parsing it PHP side.
EDIT
The nice thing about doing all this in .htaccess vs PHP is it requires less logic and you pass what you want to your script in the correct values. My preference would be using the .htaccess above.
you can use this , to grab whole path as text and parse
www.domain.com/search/City/London/5/asc works www.domain.com/search/City/London but this doesn't
RewriteRule ^search/(.*)$ search.php?url=$1
$paths=explode('/',$_GET('url'));
output
www.domain.com/search/City/London/5/asc
$paths=city,london,5,asc
www.domain.com/search/City/London
$paths=city,london
You can use loop and pair as key/value... if needed
