Let's start with an example:
So requested URL would be: www.domain.com/product/hdd/samsung
I want to have a rewrite rule to get index.php and save everything after www.domain.com into php variable. So, substituted page would be for example www.domain.com/index.php?query=product/hdd/samsung. But I'am unable to write correct rule.
I tried this:
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ index.php?query=$1 [NC,L]
The code above isn't working. I want to use the query in PHP code in the index.php:
if(isset($_GET["query"] )) {
$query=$_GET["query"];
}
I find out, there is possibility to get $query via $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] instead of mod_rewrite, am I right?
For my PHP application is variable $query critical, because it's used for loading templates.
Questions:
What solution would you recomand me? To use $_SERVER variable or mod_rewrite?
If mod_rewrite, how to write correct RewriteRule?
Thank you
Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?query=$1 [NC,L]
If your site is not in your server's root dir, change RewriteBase to /some/subdir/.

I would like to make the URLs of my Store URL-friendly.
Current URL Structure
https://my-domain.com/store/store.php?page=packages&id=1
Desired URL Structure
https://my-domain.com/store/packages/1
And also for direct access to the PHP files such as:
https://my-domain.com/store/profile.php to https://my-domain.com/store/profile
How would I need to go after this? I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Also might be note worthy that in the base directory a WordPress site is running with its own .htaccess file.
I already tried it with this
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^store/store/page/(.*)/id/(.*) /store/store.php?page=$1&id=$2
RewriteRule ^store/store/page/(.*)/id/(.*)/ /store/store.php?page=$1&id=$2
But that didn't work
This code will work.
RewriteEngine will remove .php from all PHP Files
RewriteRule will rewrite url like page/id
For Removing .php extension
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [NC,L,R]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [NC,L]
For page/id
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)? store.php?page=$1&id=$2 [L]
</IfModule>
You can use this for the first part:
RewriteRule ^store/((?!store)[^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /store/store.php?page=$1&id=$2 [L]
Although nothing is wrong with anyone else's answers, the more modern way to do this (including WordPress, Symfony and Laravel) is to send non-existent URLs to a single router script. By doing this, you only have to mess with an htaccess file once to set things up, and never touch it again if you add more "sub-folders", you can do all of that in just PHP. This is also more portable which means you can bring it to other server platforms such as Nginx with little changes, and don't need to deal with RegEx.
The htaccess is fairly straightforward. Route all requests that start with /store/ and don't exist as a file (such as images, JS and CSS) or directory to a single new file called router.php in your /store/ folder. This is an internal redirect, which means it isn't a 301 or 302.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^store/ /store/router.php [L]
Then in your new router.php file you can parse $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to determine the URL that was actually requested, and you can even rebuild the global $_GET variable:
// Parse the originally requested URL into parts
$requestUrlParts = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
// Parse the query string into parts, erase the old global _GET array
parse_str($requestUrlParts['query'], $_GET);
// Handle
switch($requestUrlParts['path']){
case '/store/store.php';
include '/store/store.php';
exit;
// Custom 404 logic here
default:
http_response_code(404);
echo 'The page you are looking for cannot be found';
exit;
}
I'd also recommend putting the htaccess rule into the site root's htaccess folder, above WordPress's. There's nothing wrong with creating multiple files, this just keeps things in a central place and makes it easier (IMHO) to debug.
I have re-written my URL from website.com?id=1 to website.com/1 and I'm getting 404 errors when trying to access the page and cannot think of a solution to this. I'm currently developing a link shortener. This is required so users will be able to access their shorted links.
This is my current .htaccessfile
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD)\ /(index\.php)?\?id=([0-9]+)([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /%3?%4 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/?$ /?id=$1 [L,QSA]
I cannot figure out whether this has something to do with the .htaccess file or if I need to add something else to my php code.
Would someone have some sort of idea? Thanks.
You need to explicitly rewrite back to index.php in your second rule. By the time rewrite rules are processed the DirectoryIndex directive has already been processed (or may never be processed at all - it depends a little on your virtual host configuration and in what scope the DirectoryIndex directive was declared).
The end result of this is that you need to explicitly rewrite the request to the script that you want to handle the request, you can't just rewrite it to the root of a directory. Try changing your second rewrite rule to:
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
On a personal note, it's interesting to see someone else use the %{THE_REQUEST} approach to this problem, this is an idea that I myself only recently came up with, although presumably I am not the first to do so. For the benefit of future visitors, here is a related post that explains why this requirement would come about and the thinking behind it.
I think you have written wrong rewrite rules.
They must be something like this:
for example.com/website.php?id=x..
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([^/]+)$
RewriteRule ^website\.php$ %1/ [L]
as discussed here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4951918/2274209
Hope this will solve your query.
I am trying to get url from:
192.168.0.1/movie-page.php?id=123
to:
192.168.0.1/movie/movie-name
or even (for now):
192.168.0.1/movie/123
I've simplified it by using this url (to get something working):
192.168.0.1/pet_care_info_07_07_2008.php TO 192.168.0.1/pet-care/
my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pet-care/?$ pet_care_info_07_07_2008.php [NC,L]
What am I doing wrong? I've tried many combinations but no luck and my patience is running out...
I am running this on my local NAS which should have mod_rewrite enabled by default. I have tested .htaccess by entering random string in .htaccess file and opening the page, I got 404 error. I assume this means that .htaccess is being used since the page stops functioning if the file is malformed.
If you want to rewrite:
192.168.0.1/movie-page.php?id=123 too
192.168.0.1/movie/movie-name or 192.168.0.1/movie/123
Then you would do something like, but will require you manually add a rewrite for any new route (fancy url) you want, and eventually you may want your script to create routes dynamically or have a single entry point to sanitize:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^movie/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)$ movie-page.php?id=$1 [L]
So a better method is to route everything through the rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?route=$1 [L,QSA]
Then handle the route by splitting the $_GET['route'] with explode()
<?php
//192.168.0.1/movie/movie-name
$route = (isset($_GET['route'])?explode('/',$_GET['route']):null);
if(!empty($route)){
//example
$route[0]; //movie
$route[1]; //movie-name
}
?>
You want something like this:
RewriteRule ^movie/([0-9]*)$ /movie-page.php?id=$1 [L,R=301]
That will give the movie ID version with a numeric ID.
I've done things very similar before but for some reason I'm having a little difficulty with the specific scenario. I want to pass a folder path as a variable and make it look pretty.
I have a working url like:
http://mysite.com/albums/index.php?p=folder/subfolder/
I can view it without the 'index.php' like:
http://mysite.com/albums/?p=folder/subfolder/
What I want is a pretty url that looks like this:
http://mysite.com/albums/folder/subfolder/
Basically, anything after /albums/ should be a single variable. I've played with my .htaccess RewriteRule a bunch and can't seem to get it working. (get 404 errors) This is what I currently have:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^albums/(.*)$ albums/?p=$1
below is what i use though every call is directed to my index.php file and from there i do anything with it
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.*$ ./index.php
Hope it helps
Change (.*) into (.+) to ensure there is at least one character after / , otherwise your rule loops...
I'm making a redirect script for my site, I use htaccess to rewrite the URL so it looks nicer.
eg. http://localhost/r/http://google.com is the URL, but when I printing the value it shows up like this http:/google.com.
One / is missing, how can I fix that?
Edit:
Rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^r/(.*)/$ /system/offsite/redirect/index.php?url=$1 [L]
Thanks for any help :)
This behavior is due to Apache that removes empty path segments before mapping it. But you can access the original requested URI path via THE_REQUEST:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /r/([^\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^r/ /system/offsite/redirect/index.php?url=%1 [L]
Use php urlencode function
EDIT:
//echo your url
echo 'http://localhost/r/'. urlencode('http://google.com');
and in your index.php file
//get your url
$url = urldecode($GET['url']);
I think REQUEST_URI variable will have correct text. Use it like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/r/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^r/ /system/offsite/redirect/index.php?url=%1 [L,QSA,NC]
