I own a website which allows users to download Youtube videos. I need php scripts which detects if a youtube url is present, like:
givemeyoutube.com takes users to my normal website but if they type,
www.givemeyoutube.com/watch?v=OZLUa8JUR18
how do I take them to the index of my website and strip out the "watch?v=OZLUa8JUR18" and store it as a variable?
UPDATE: How can I do it so that it checks URL and if it contains "watch?v=" then redirect to another page?
Use preg_match with the following regular expression
/(\/watch\?v=)([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/
Preg match with \b(?<=v.|/)[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{11,}\b as RegExp
You can to use mod_rewrite to properly take care of a request like watch?V=123456
in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^watch index.php [QSA]
then in index.php:
if( isset( $_GET['v'] ) ) {
// access the v parameter with $_GET['v'];
}
I think url rewriting would be better suited for this task, as you need to rewrite the url anyway to make sure that watch opens an actual php page.
I would use something like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^watch.*$ /index.php?action=watch [QSA]
This rule would cause all requests that start with watch to be routed to index.php with the original query string (due to [QSA]) and an additional parameter called action with the value watch.

I'm building a URL shortening web app using PHP. I am able to generate shorter URLs successfully. But I'm not able to redirect the users when they visit the shortened URL.
If the user enters https://example.com/aBc1X, I'd like to capture the aBc1X. I'll then query the database to find the original URL and then redirect.
My question is, how can I extract the aBc1X from the above URL?
P.S. I'll use either Apache or Nginx.
Two things to do for you.
First you have to redirect all traffic to one file which will be your router file. You can do this by placing a few rules in .htaccess file. I will put there some generic rules to start with (this one come from Wordpress):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^redirect\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /redirect.php [L]
</IfModule>
They tell that everywhere url points to which isn't file or directory will run file redirect.php. You may want to tweak that settings to your needs.
Then in redirect.php you can capture url by looking inside $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].
For url http://example.com/any-url-i-want you would have
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/any-url-i-want.
Now the only thing you need is to find the url in database, and do a redirect.
I guess you can handle string operations at this point, either by using parse_url, regular expressions, or simple string cutting.
You want to use;
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
That will return what you're looking for.
You can see the documentation here
To parse the url
$url = "https://example.com/aBc1X";
$path = ltrim(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH), '/');
Then $path will be aBc1X as desired. Note that any query following a ? will be omitted in this solution. For more details have a look at the documentation of the parse_url function.
For example i have
3 php pages
www.example.com/page1.php?var1=data1&var2=data2&var3=data3
www.example.com/page2.php?var1=data1&var2=data2&var3=data3
www.example.com/page3.php?var1=data1&var2=data2&var3=data3
For good SEO . I need URL like
www.example.com/page1/data1-data2-data3
www.example.com/page2/data1-data2-data3
www.example.com/page3/data1-data2-data3
I got something URL rewriting with PHP but am confused how to implement it for multiple dynamic PHP pages.
i need all the variables for proper functioning of php pages
Put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(page1|page2|page3)/([^-]+)-([^-]+)-([^-/]+)/?$ /$1.php?var1=$1&var2=$2&var3=$3 [L,QSA,NE]
In your .htaccess you should add the line:
RewriteRule ^(\w+)/(\w+)-(\w+)-(\w+)$ /$1.php?var1=$2&var2=$3&var3=$4 [QSA]
The first part captures the page name (script name, in your case), then each successive query string parameter. The QSA key tells the redirect to take any additional query string parameters not specified explicitly along with the request.
I want to make the clean url for my site. How do I change htaccess file. My original Link that
This is my original link
**http://www.tangailbazar.com/adview_details.php?ID=9014&show=Hot%20and%20Cool%20Water%20Filter**
I want to make it like this
http://www.tangailbazar.com/Hot-and-Cool-Water-Filter
My code is here.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule /^(.*) adview_details.php?show=$1 [PT,QSA]
My post link from where i get the value like this
View Details
In adview_details page I have written the code
<?php
$id=$_GET['ID'];
$id1=$_GET['show'];
?>
<?php
$SQL="select * from tb_classified where sl='$id' and title='$id1'";
$obj->sql($SQL);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($obj->result))
{
echo $row['title'];
echo $row['description'];
}
?>
You are looking for an Apache mod called mod_rewrite. Specifically (from the documentation):
If, on the other hand, you wish to pass the requested URI as a query string argument to index.php, you can replace that RewriteRule with:
RewriteRule (.*) adview_details.php?show=$1 [PT,QSA]
Note that these rulesets can be used in a .htaccess file, as well as in a block.
<?php
$title = str_replace(' ', '-', $row['title'])
?>
View Details
Output URL http://www.tangailbazar.com/Hot-and-Cool-Water-Filter
but this will not work, why? because you can not make a url with a condition, while for the request to mysql need two conditions.
maybe you should change your url into http://www.tangailbazar.com/1/Hot-and-Cool-Water-Filter
If you follow my advice you should change the code. htaccess becomes
RewriteRule ([0-9]?)/([a-zA-Z_-]+) adview_details.php?ID=$1&show=$2 [PT,QSA]
and the URL that you should use
View Details
First what draws my attention is that your regular URL is not as clean to start with. I would advise you to remove the spaces and change them for hyphens—if possible. URL are also case insensitive so there is actually no use for uppercase characters, but using them is personal preference though it makes them less readable and when rewriting it's an extra process to change them.
When rewriting a URL, you should think of your URL as parts. There is the domain which is divided in: subdomain (www), domain-name (tangailbazar) and the top-level domain (com). After the domain begins the cleaning up (you can also do a lot of rewriting on the domain, but in your case you will not).
To keep your rewrite process clear and simple (because URL rewriting with mod_rewrite can give massive headaches) you want every part of a rewritten URL (between slashes) to translate to a parameter in the raw URL. So in your case: ID=9014&show=Hot and Cool Water Filter are two parameters that should be used in your clean URL. When rewriting the URL you would pick the value of key (parameter) ID and show and use them in your clean URL. In your case you need the ID parameter in the clean URL otherwise you can never not load your destination URL.
RewriteRule ^.+/(.+)/(.+)+$ adview_details.php?ID=$1&show=$2 [L]
This rule will change the request for:
www.tangailbazar.com/9014/Hot%20and%20Cool%20Water%20Filter
into:
www.tangailbazar.com/adview_details.php?ID=9014&show=Hot%20and%20Cool%20Water%20Filter
This is the best you can do in this case, otherwise you will have to change some things about the structure of the destination URL.
An important thing you need to get hold of is that the name URL rewriting is misleading, you actually don't rewrite anything, you translate the requested URL from the browser into the URL where you're page is located. So it's more of a 'URL translate' then a 'URL rewrite'. In creating user friendly URL's you most of the time are removing the parameter keys (show=) and file extension (.php) from the URL to make them more readable.
You will always need to use the dynamic parts in your URL and you can clean the static parts.
I hope this will help you solve your problem or at least make some things clear on rewriting URL's.
Good luck!

Consider my domain name is
www.mydomain.com
Consider a page request
www.mydomain.com/user/register
I want to add a custom word after base URL for every request inside mydomain.com.example
www.mydomain.com/customword/
www.mydomain.com/customword/user/register
Can we do this using URL rewriting in htaccess file ?
Actually it should execute 'www.mydomain.com/user/register' internally...but externally the URL should look like www.mydomain.com/customword/user/register.
You could create the directory "register", and put an index file inside it that performs the action.
That's probably the simplest way without url rewriting anyway.
UPDATE (since the question was updated)
In .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-.]+)/user/register/?$ user/register.php?customword=$1
register.php will receive a GET request:
//User went to www.mydomain/word/user/register
echo $_GET['customword']; // will return word in this case
Make sure that you have mod_rewrite enabled :)
Yes, you can do it with htaccess
Here is an example which will add a trailing slash with url if it doesnt contain trailing slash
http://enarion.net/web/htaccess/trailing-slash/
edit formatting updated
If you are serving one site from this then the following should work:
Edit your .htaccess file to do a url rewrite
accessing www.yourdomain.com/user/registry will actually server content from www.yourdomain.com/customword/user/registry
RewriteEngine On<br>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/customword/<br>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /customword/$1
You haven't mentioned what kind of site you;re using..eg: PHP, MVC etc as you could do similar thing in there as well.
ok assume i have php page
has this name name.php?get= and has get varible named get
ok
how i can make it appear like that name?get=
If you are using apache, mod_rewrite is one way to go. There is a whole bunch of mod_rewrite tricks here.
I'd seriously reconsider before using (or overusing) mod_rewrite.
In almost all of my projects I use a simple mod rewrite in the .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.*$ ./
AddHandler php5-script .php
This tells the server to forward all pages to / (index.php) unless a file otherwise exists.
In the root directory I have a folder called "views" with all of the pages that I use. E.g. the file used for /home would actually be /views/home.php. However, in the index.php I have a script that parses the user's url, checks for the file, and includes that.
$page = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 1);
if(!$page) :
header("Location: /home");
if(file_exists("views/$page.php")) :
include "views/$page.php";
else :
include "views/$page.php";
endif;
This creates a variable called $page that stores the value of everything in the URL after the domain name. I use a substr() function on the Request URI to get rid of the trailing forward slash (/) on the URL.
If the variable is empty, for example if the user is simply at http://example.com or http://example.com/ then it forwards them to /home, where the script then checks for the home.php file inside of the views folder. If that file exists, it includes it, and displays it to the user.
Else, the script will simply include the 404 page telling the user that the file doesn't exist.
Hopefully this helps you, and if you need any further explanation I'd be happy to help!
I think you're wanting to re-write the URL client-side, which would include mod_rewrite.
In the route of your website, create a file called .htaccess and place the following code in it:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^name?get=(.*) /name.php?get=$1
Now when you type http://www.example.com/name?get=something, it will actually map to http://www.example.com/name.php?get=something transparently for you.
As far as i could understand your question, you can not strip the file extension because otherwise it will not run. In other words, you can not change:
name.php?get=
into
name?get=
But if you mean to create links with query string values that you can put them in hyperlinks in this way:
Click here !!
If you're looking to create links using a variable '$get', then you can create the link like this:
<a href="name.php?get=$get>Link</a>
Or if you want to get the value of the query string variable, you can use this:
$get = $_GET['get']
