.htaccess clean url with more than 3 paramenters - php

I am new to .htaccess and I seem to be having some problems getting it to clean up the url for me.
I have
site.com?p=article&id=3&read=article title
I am able to get the first variable to work ok like site.com/articles. but when I try to go further the server is saying it cant find it. I have tried several methods none of which seem to be working.
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ index.php?p=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ index.php?p=$1
this above is working
I have tried
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-z\-]+)(/([a-zA-Z0-9-z\-]+))?/?$ index.php?p=$1&i=$2
and
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-z\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9-z\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9-z\-]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&i=$2&read=$3
the last 2 are not working. help please. Thanks

Let's try something like this?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /index.php?p=$1&id=$2&read=$3 [L]

%{QUERY_STRING} is what you are looking for.
this is what I use for a similar situation:
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /index.php?r=/$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Pagination and htaccess troubles

I have some trouble with URL Rewriting, here is my .htaccess file :
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^insertCom/([0-9]+)$ /routine/Commentaires/insert.php?art=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^projets\.php$ /vue/projets.php [L]
RewriteRule ^projet/([0-9]+)$ /vue/project/ListeEpisodes.php?serie=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^p/([0-9]+)$ /index.php?p=$1 [L] (4)
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)$ /vue/article.php?article=$1 [L]
Like I said in the title, I have issues with pagination.
When i use
mywebsite/p/2
it works perfectly but when I try :
mywebsite/p/30
I am redirected to home.
30 is not a random number, it's the last page.
But surprisingly when I want to go to
mywebsite/?p=30
It works !
Moreover, i tried to change (4) to this:
RewriteRule ^p-([0-9]+)$ /index.php?p=$1 [L]
And when I tried to go to
mywebsite/p-30
It worked!
How can you explain this? And how Cain use the /p/XX format?
Thanks in advance
Plot twist: All of this happened because of web browser's cache!
Sorry for bothering you...
Sorry about that, but I discovered the solution by simply clearing my browser's cache...
I feel so dumb...

Rewriting The URL With .htaccess

Ok, So I've looked at this topic for quite a while now and can't get anything to work, probably because I'm still having difficulty understanding it - So I'm going back to basics and asking this in the simplest of terms.
I have an empty .htaccess file
I have a current URL of http://www.website.co.uk/news.php?id=111111
I want this to become http://www.website.co.uk/news/111111
How Do I Do This?
Also please not that although this is the URL now, I'm planning on making some changes to the site so the URL's in the future may be:
http://www.website.co.uk/news.php?city=city&issue=1&title=the-title&id=111111
http://www.website.co.uk/news/city/issue/the-title/111111
How can I make it so that the future changes will work too? So far I have:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^news/(.+)$ news.php?id=$1 [L]
This still displays the full url and typing in news/111111 redirects to an error page. Please help!
Adding the following to your htaccess should work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^news.php$ /news/%1? [L,R]
RewriteRule ^news/(.*) news.php?id=$1 [QSA]
The above will change http://www.website.co.uk/news.php?id=111111 to http://www.website.co.uk/news/111111
and below will change
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^city=(.*)&issue=(.*)&title=(.*)&id=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^news.php$ /news/%1/%2/%3/%4 [L,R]
RewriteRule ^news/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) news.php?city=$1&issue=$2&title=$3&id=$4 [QSA]
http://www.website.co.uk/news.php?city=city&issue=1&title=the-title&id=111111 into http://www.website.co.uk/news/city/issue/the-title/111111
The values in %1, %2, $3, %4 gotten from the parameters after city=, issue=. title=. id=.
In city=London, London will be contained in %1 etc
The second RewriteRule will allow you to find the id used.

Rewrite rule - strange behaviour with $_GET

I have this rewire rule: EDITED
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [NC]// the problem is caused by this. How can I keep it without having this result?
RewriteRule ^user/(.*)$ user.php?user=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^ride/(.+)/$ ride.php?myRideId=$1 [NC,L]
when I do this:
www.example.com/ride/123
everything works fine and my browser correctly shows the above page but if I try to use:
$rideId = $_GET['myRideId'];
echo $rideId;
the result is:
123.php/123
I don't understand why. Anything wrong in the rewrite rule?
Have you tried doing this?
RewriteRule ^ride/(.+)/?$ ride.php?myRideId=$1 [NC,L]
Try this. Also you will need to write your URL as:
www.example.com/ride/123/

htaccess multiple parameters rewrite rule

I know this problem is over asked, but couldnt find anything fitting with my problem.
I'm currently creating a website, and my url are like :
www.foo.com/
or www.foo.com/index.php.
They can take 1, 2 ,or three different parameters like
www.foo.com/index.php?page=Home&lang=en&article=1
What i'd like is an url like
www.foo.com/Home/
or www.foo.com/en/Home
or www.foo.com/Article/1
or www.foo.com/en/Article/1
The page parameter is required, other two are not..
I cant have anything working for me... Any help would be greately appreciated
Thanks a lot !
Better to have separate clean rules. Put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$2&lang=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$2&lang=$1&article=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&article=$2 [L,QSA]
Try something like this
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)\.html$ index.php?param1=$1&param2=$2&param3=$3

mod_rewrite with ? in the original URL like YouTube

Ok I want to simulate the YouTube URL and redirect it to my real URL. Reason being is I used a random string to make video ID's so they aren't guessable by sequence.
I have the links as so
http://www.mysite.com/watch?v=Dxdotx3iT1
and want to redirect to
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=videos&section=view&v=Dxdotx3iT1
Can't seem to figure out the mod rewrite. Also using a ? I believe tells it to do something.
Any help would be appreciated.
You need to adjust your RewriteRule to include the query string using the [QSA] (query string attached) flag:
RewriteRule ^watch$ index.php?page=video&section=view [QSA]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^v=(.+)
RewriteRule ^watch /index\.php?page=videos&section=view&v=%1 [QSA,R=301,L]
None of these answers worked for me, so in the end I found through trial and error the following worked for me;
The RewriteRule to get my URL to look like this https://www.example.com/video/watch?v=UnIq3Id follows;
RewriteRule ^video\/watch\?*$ index.php?page=video [L,QSA]
I found that the following rule I had previously set up to make my URL look like this https://www.example.com/video/UnIq3Id interfered with my redirecting;
RewriteRule ^/?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?page=$1&v=$2
Simply commenting it out fixed the issue, as follows;
#RewriteRule ^/?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?page=$1&v=$2
The RewriteRule to get my URL to look like this https://www.example.com/watch?v=UnIq3Id is as follows;
RewriteRule ^watch\?*$ index.php?page=video [L,QSA]
I found that the following rule I had previously set up to make my URL look like this https://www.example.com/video/ interfered with my redirecting;
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [NC]
Simply commenting it out fixed the issue, as follows;
#RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [NC]
Hope it helped someone and saved you the headache I had, people are not so forthcoming on this issue at times How do you write an htaccess RewriteRule to make my urls work like youtube?.
