I'm trying to rewrite this url:
http://www.example.com/user.php?user=username
into
http://example.com/username
I'm using this code in my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /user.php?user=$1 [L]
but its giving me an internal error. Is there something wrong?
To match the query string part of a URL, you have to use RewriteCond, like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} user=(.*)
RewriteRule ^user.php$ %1 [L]
So the RewriteCond rule matches the username in ?user=name and then the %1 uses that value in the resulting rewrite on the last line of my example.
On the slash issue, URLs like /name get automatically redirected to URLs like /name/ if the web server finds that /name is a directory. So if your intention is to map user.php/user=name to something like /name/index.html, you will cause that slash to get inserted. But if your intention is to map it to a file (or CGI script) at /name then it will work as expected.

I'm trying to figure out how to rewrite urls using apache webserver and php.
The url below is the real nonrewritten url:
http://localhost:1337/rewritetest/index.php?id=12
And I want to reach it by
http://localhost:1337/rewritetest/index/12
My indexfile looks like this:
<?php
echo $_GET['id'];
?>
Is this possible? The "new" url doesn't include any parameter names so I guess I have to use an order of parameters instead but I dont know how to reach them in that case.
Below is as far I've come with my rewrite:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([-a-zA-Z0-9_+]+)
RewriteRule ^/?index.php$ %1? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/?([-a-zA-Z0-9_+]+)$ index.php?id=$1 [L]
Anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
it's located in the same folder as index.php
So, given the .htaccess file is located at /rewritetest/.htaccess (as opposed to the document root ie. /.htaccess) then...
RewriteRule ^/?([-a-zA-Z0-9_+]+)$ index.php?id=$1 [L]
If you request a URL of the form /rewritetest/index/12 then the above RewriteRule pattern won't actually match anything. It tries to match "index/12", but your pattern does not contain a slash so will fail. (Is the + inside the character class intentional?)
Try something like the following instead:
RewriteRule ^(index)/(\d+)$ $1.php?id=$2 [L]
This obviously specifically matches "index" in the URL. If you are always rewriting to index.php then you don't really need "index" in the URL - unless this means something different? This also assumes that the valuue of the id parameter consists only of digits.
To rewrite the more general .../<controller>/26 to .../<controller>.php?id=26 (as mentioned comments) then try something like:
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/(\d+)$ $1.php?id=$2 [L]
In per-directory .htaccess files the slash prefix is omitted on the URL-path that is matched by the RewriteRule pattern, so /? is not required. The above pattern also matches something for for the id, not anything. So, /index/ would not match.
If this is a new site then the "redirect" (from /index.php?id=12 back to /index/12) is not necessarily required. That's only really required if you are changing the URL structure on an existing site where old URLs already have inbound links and are indexed by search engines. In which case you could do something like the following before the internal rewrite:
RewriteBase /rewritetest/
RewriteRule %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(\d+)
RewriteRule ^(index)\.php$ $1/%1 [R,L]
Or, for a more generic .../<controller>/26 to .../<controller>.php?id=26 (as above) then change the RewriteRule to:
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)\.php$ $1/%1 [R,L]
The additional check against the REDIRECT_STATUS environment variable is to prevent a rewrite loop after having rewritten the URL to /index.php?id=12 earlier.
how can I write something like this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} s=(\w+)
RewriteRule ^ wordpress/?s=%1 [L]
I need do rewrite rule from domain.com?s=something to domain.com/wordpress/?s=something.
Folder with wordpress is by symlink but It is not interesting.
Rule what I was send works but makes error 500 on other URLs like domain.com/something?company=1
Thanks
Btw: I must send this "body" twice for successful validation. Wtf #stackoverflow? And why are you cut greeting?
You just need this single rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?$ wordpress/ [L]
Original query string is automatically copied over.
I have a very simple url rewriting rules:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !script.php
RewriteRule ^test/(.*) script.php?q=$1
The idea is to have this kind of urls: http://mywebsite.com/test/http://example.com
and then send http://example.com to the script.php as a query parameter. The problem is that I'm receiving http:/example.com instead of http://example.com. Also, http:////example.com would be sent as http:/example.com. What causes this behavior ?
Apache mod_rewrite engine converts multiple ///... into single / for pattern matching in RewriteRule directive. However if you match it using RewriteCond then you can match multiple /s.
You can use rule like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/+test/+(https?://.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ script.php?q=%1 [L,QSA]
The browser causes this behaviour. It contracts a sequence of / into 1 /, because it is still essentially a path. ///// does not change the directory we are in, so we could as well use /.
You have two options:
Change your links to use a query string instead. If you rewrite test/?q=something to script.php?q=something everything works as expected. You would do the following:
RewriteRule ^test/?$ script.php [L]
Since you don't alter the query string, the original query string is automatically copied to the new query string.
Don't make an assumption on how many slashes you will encounter. The url might not look correctly in the url bar of the browser, but if it is just a redirect, it will only be visible for a very short period of time.
RewriteRule ^test/(http|https):/+(.*)$ script.php?q=$1://$2
I want to rewrite my apache mod_rewrite pattern. I use to do with following:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /^([^A-Z0-9a-z]+)\.html /search.php?search_id=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
With the above rule I can't get what I expecting.
Can anyone tell what is wrong with my code and how to solve it.
Edited.
my requirement is simple.
I want to redirect if i enter /1.html to /search.php?search_id=1
Thats it.
This should work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !search\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([0-9]+)\.html [NC]
RewriteRule .* search.php?search_id=%1 [L,QSA]
Maps silently
http://example.com/FileID.html
To:
http://example.com/search.php?search_id=FileID
search.php is considered a fixed string, while FileID can be any number.
For permanent redirection, replace [L,QSA] with [R=301,L,QSA]
You have a typo in your rule try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([^A-Z0-9a-z]+)\.html /search.php?search_id=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
By the way you could also try to use this:
RewriteRule ^/?([^A-Z0-9a-z]+)\.html /search.php?search_id=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
This makes the leading slash optional.
Are you typing 1.html after the domain? That is if your domain is example.com, then you type example.com/1.html?
If it is you are doing then don't use / before the regular expression in .htaccess file.
Try adding the following into your main .htaccess file. That is located in the directory which has your home page of the website:
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)\.html/?$ /search.php?search_id=$1 [NC, L]
I have used RewriteBase as a comment. If you use a shared server then keep it as a comment or delete the line.
EDIT: [NC, L] use to tell that, NC flag for rule no need to be case sensitive (no case) and L flag for stop if this was matched.
I have the following code in my .htaccess.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(\w+)/?$ /?user=$1
I'm trying to rewrite
http://domain.com/?user=username into http://domain.com/username. Unfortunately this code doesn't rewrite anything. Please help
Note:
I checked phpinfo() and mod_rewrite is loaded.
Update
I need to get username from url like http://facebook.com/username. But this code rewrites every folder in root folder, so my /css folder become http://domain.com/css/?u=common. How to allow this code works only for http://domain.com/index.php
The mistake you are doing is the use of / in the beginning of the line ^/(\w+)/?$
rewrite rules strips off the / from the beginning of the pattern to be matched in .htaccess and directory context.
Try doing this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(\w+)/?$ /?user=$1
From RewriteRule Directive docs :
What is matched?
In VirtualHost context, The Pattern will initially be matched against the part of the URL after the hostname and port, and before the query string (e.g. "/app1/index.html").
In Directory and htaccess context, the Pattern will initially be matched against the filesystem path, after removing the prefix that lead the server to the current RewriteRule (e.g. "app1/index.html" or "index.html" depending on where the directives are defined).
If you wish to match against the hostname, port, or query string, use a RewriteCond with the %{HTTP_HOST}, %{SERVER_PORT}, or %{QUERY_STRING} variables respectively.
Edit: Answer updated as per OP's request:
Add this :
RewriteEngine On
#do nothig if URL is trying to access the folder CSS.
RewriteRule *css/* - [L]
#checks where the URL is a valid file/folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(\w+)/?$ /?user=$1
I think that you are doing it the right way round, but explained it the wrong way round!
Is the problem that you don't need the initial / as the URL passed to test doesn't include it!?
I suspect it should be RewriteRule ^(\w+)/?$ /?u=$1
Also, be careful you don't end up with a loop!
