Been stuck on this for ages and tried loads of fixes but just can't get my head around it!
I run a site where the content of the pages are generated based upon a URL. For example:
http://www.mysite.com/http://www.supercheese.com
Would generate a mashup of content from mysite.com and supercheese.com
The .htaccess i use for this (at mysite.com) is:
<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteRule assets/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ test.php?url=$1 [NC,L]
</ifModule>
So basically the second URL is passed in a php string.
My question is this, I need to remove the http:// from the address using .htaccess
E.G. If someone types:
http://www.mysite.com/http://www.supercheese.com
I need it to become:
http://www.mysite.com/www.supercheese.com
Many thanks in advance for taking a look at this. You guys rock.
You can simply use a RedirectMatch
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#redirectmatch
Try with :
RedirectMatch ^/https?://(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1
Edit : you have to put this before rewrite rules
Edit : add / before http
Edit : David is right, take a look a his answer and change your way of writing these urls
It looks to me like the url scheme is inherently problematic.
Using an unencoded colon : in the url - other than following the http to specify the access protocol - seems to make the server think that it is doing authentication of the form http://username:password#hostname/.
I know it doesn't directly answer the question, the solution is to change the url-scheme. ;-(

I want to redirect the following sets of links:
a/b/c or a/b/c/ to a.php?b=c
x/y1/z1/y2/z2 or x/y1/z1/y2/z2/ to x.php?y1=z1&y2=z2
using htaccess and mod rewrite in a standardized general format associating the appropriate PHP get tags and values to the corresponding SEO-friendly link. How do I do so?
I've tried tinkering around with RewriteCond and REQUEST_FILENAME but just cannot seem to get it to work.
Something like this might help:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? /$1.php?$2=$3 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? /$1.php?$2=$3&$4=$5
i'm new to mod_rewrite, and i'm trying to convert my web address from:
website.com/profile.php?user=andy
to the following:
website.com/user/andy
This is my following code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^user/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ profile.php?user=$1 [NC,L]
I researched extensively and this does seem to be the correct way to do it, but it doesn't redirect to where i want it to, it just redirects to this:
http://website.com/profile.php?user=andy
which means i must doing something wrong...
Can anyone help me out here? I would appreciate any tips.
If you want
http://website.com/profile.php?user=andy ->301-> http://website.com/user/andy
http://website.com/user/andy means http://website.com/profile.php?user=andy
They are 2 different things, you'll need 2 rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^user=([A-Za-z0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^profile.php /user/%1? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^user/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ profile.php?a=b&user=$1 [L]
The first will 301 (moved permanently) redirect to the pretty url.
The second will allow your application to understand the pretty url.
Whenever you change the url scheme for a site you should take care of existing links. As such, that first rule is required/a good idea. You should not, however, need the first rule when using your own application. If your own application is generating links to profile.php?user=me - change your application code.
You have to change your URLs when outputting them in your HTML to be in the format you want (/user/andy).
mod_rewrite will rewrite /user/andy to main.php?... not the other way around.
What do you mean by my result?
mod_rewrite won't change existing links in your source code. Navigate to website.com/user/andy and you should see it work.
I'am redirecting about 100 hmtl pages to a single PHP page (example.php) using .htaccess. It is working perfectly.
I've pagination on that page (example.php) but I am using the original HTML page URL (example.html?page=2&limit=20)
so example.html, example1.html, example2.html, example3.html are all redirecting to example.php.
The address bar is still showing ".html" URL but due to .htaccess redirection the example.php is rendering.
when is click on a pagination link (example.html?page=2&limit=20) the browser address bar shows correct .html URL and query string.
I've tried to get the values of page, and limit using $_GET and $_REQUEST in (example.php) but i am not successful.
Please help me in reading the (example.html?page=2&limit=20) query string parameeters .
Edit Code ported from comments:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^page-(.*)$
RewriteRule ^page-(.*)$ size-content.php?sef=$1 [L]
Add the QSA flag, which means "query-string append" to be sure the existing query string is ported into the rewritten URL.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^page-(.*)$
RewriteRule ^page-(.*)$ size-content.php?sef=$1 [L,QSA]
.htaccess modify your server configuration.
if you are making redirection then you change your request.
Try mod_rewrite if you are using Apache of course.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^example\.html\?(.*) example.php?$1
Mod rewrite is module to Apache. It is not allowed on most free hostings.
Yasir - you can resolve this problem by two ways:
1) Re-write rules for .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^page-(.).html(.)/(.)$
RewriteRule ^page-(.).html(.)/(.)$ size-content.php?sef=$1&page=$2&limit=$3 [L]
This rule will handle: page-example.html?page=2&limit=20
I hope - you will easily understand the above rule.
Note: Keep one thing in your mind that every link should be in same pattern if you change rule in htaccess.
2) You can resolve this problem on your "size-content.php"
Suppose page-example.html?page=2&limit=20
$_GET['sef'] = example.html?page=2&limit=20 [according to you .htaccess]
Now you can parse this string via explode function
Thanks
I have a small question to ask. Is it possible, via php or htaccess, to change a url like: miodominio.com/users.php?idu=x into something like miodominio.com/username ?
I want it to be Facebook style...Where "username" is the username chosen by idu = x.
There are multiple ways to solve this problem, but here's one that always suits my needs.
Guide all your URL requests through the index.php first and resolve the request in your PHP code second.
1) Use an .htaccess file to direct all URL's through index.php. You'll find one way here by the CodeIgniter framework and a more advanced explanation here. I recommend the CodeIgniter .htaccess guide first if you're inexperienced with .htaccess.
2) Second, use the $_SERVER variable in PHP to extract the URL. Probably with the help of the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], you'll find '/username/' which you can then use to extract the user's data and serve it to them.
Good luck and beware of URL injections using this method.
You need to use apache's mod_rewrite for this. It can translate miodominio.com/username to miodominio.com/users.php?idu=x. There are some good guides about this which are easy to find with Google.
You can try to use this mod_rewrite pattern (add it to the .htaccess):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ users.php?idu=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ users.php?idu=$1
you have to write a clean URL in your .htaccess file like :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ users.php?idu=$1
Put the following in your .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-]+)/?$ /users.php?idu=$1 [NC]
The [NC] will make it case-insensitive, if you accept only lowercase username, remove the [NC] from the last.
Hello I want to have some redirection made by .htaccess file:
Some examples
mysite.com/accepted -> mysite.com/index.php?type=accepted
mysite.com/waiting -> mysite.com/index.php?type=waiting
mysite.com/cancelled -> mysite.com/index.php?type=cancelled
&
mysite.com/edit/2 - > mysite.com/admin.php?edit=2
ETC. for all numbers possible
mysite.com/login -> mysite.com/admin.php?action=login
mysite.com/register -> mysite.com/admin.php?action=register
mysite.com/lostpassword - > mysite.com/admin.php?action=lostpassword
mysite.com/add - > mysite.com/add.php
Apprectiate your help ;)
#edit: It should be done that way but with masking urls.
Which way around is the redirect? It would be common to see redirects from your given right-hand-sides to the left-hand-sides, but not the other way around.
EDIT I see you've fixed that, so my supposition was correct:
i.e. you'd normally see:
RewriteRule ^edit/([0-9]+)$ /admin.php?edit=$1 [L]
etc, to map the nice friendly RESTful style URL into the internal URL.
If you want to get into the topic yourself, www.modrewrite.com hosts a number of great mod_rewrite resources with lots of examples.
If I understand your edit correctly you want this
<?php
header('Location: http://mysite.com/'.$_GET['type']);
?>
Since there is no structural pattern in your URLs that can be used to map the URLs to the destinations, you probably will need to use one rule for each group like these:
RewriteRule ^add$ add.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(login|register|lostpassword)$ admin.php?action=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^edit/(\d+)$ admin.php?edit=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(accept|waiting|canceled)$ index.php?type=$1 [L]
Maybe something like the following?
RewriteRule ^www.domain.com/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /index.php?$1=$2&$3=$4 [NC]
Do note that you will have to parse the URL (REQUEST_URI) instead of accessing $_GET
