Okey, so this is my problem.
I want to use mod_rewrite to make nice looking urls for my site.
I want them all to have good looking url like www.mypage/tennis or www.mypage/soccer instead of www.mypage/?page=tennis and www.mypage/?page=soccer
And with the following rules i can achive this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
So now if I type in www.mypage/soccer my PHP script reads this url and does it's magic translating this to $_GET['page'] = soccer. All this works fine!
Problem is if I would type the URL www.mypage/soccer/ all of a sudden every linked css or image cannot be found by the website, since it now looking in the none existing folder /soccer/ off course.
How do I make a rewrite rule that transforms /soccer/ to /soccer or any other /blabla/ to /blabla
Hope my question is clear! Also if anyone have any good pages where I can learn more regular expressions i would be very happy!
Try this:
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ ?page=$1 [L]
I think you should not use mod_rewrite for this, but rather fix your CSS and image paths.
Change the paths from relative to absolute,
meaning, the paths should begin with a /.
If you have this, no matter on which site your are, /images/myimage.png will always refer to www.mypage.com/images/myimage.png.
# For URIs with query string:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.+)
RewriteRule (.*)/$ ?page=$1&%1 [L]
# All other
RewriteRule (.*)/$ ?page=$1 [L]

I'm new to learning HTACCESS and I'm trying my best to work on a websites URLs to make them more "seo friendly" and load properly. I've tried searching all over for what I need to point me in the right direction, but everything seems to be for "wordpress" and this is a custom built site.
Here is my issue. This site had a previous developer, the thing was a mess, and I've spent countless hours cleaning up the site, and he built the sites to show urls like this. "www.sitename.com/about-us.php"
I'm familiar enough with htaccess to know how to remove the trailing extension for .php, even showing trailing variables properly that doesn't require the trailing slash at the end like: "sitename.com/about-us?contact=true"
I was able to get the blog view page to load with a url like this: "sitename.com/posts/post-name-here/". This one though does require the trailing slash.
What I'm trying to accomplish is making the url string to work properly with trailing variables for a few pages like, register, apply, etc. So those urls would be something like this. "sitename.com/auth/apply" or "sitename.com/auth/register"
My issue is that the urls have to have a trailing slash at the end or it doesn't load.
Plus adding a trailing variables only works when formatted like this: "sitename.com/auth/apply/?application=submitted"
I'd prefer it look more like this. "sitename.com/auth/apply?application=submitted", without the trailing slash. But I can't find how to accomplish this.
Here is my .htaccess snippet.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^posts\/(.*)/$ /view-post.php?post=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^auth\/(.*)/$ /auth-action.php?action=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
Can someone help me, or point me in the right direction?
This should be what you're looking for.
#Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php [QSA,NC,L]
Try using the following in your .htaccess. This will remove the trailing slash from your URLs.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=302,L]
Make sure you clear your cache before testing this. You'll notice that I've set R=302 instead of 301. This makes it a temporary redirect for testing purposes. If you're happy with the redirect then change it to 301 to make it permanent.
I'll be honest in saying I have very little experience with .htaccess as I've always wanted to stay away from it as best I can. However, I've recently wanted to tidy up my urls and I've found that it's possible through .htaccess and rewriting.
Basically, I want to rewrite a url like:
www.mysite.com/profile.php?id=48194
To something like:
www.mysite.com/profile/48194
Here's the code I have currently:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
RewriteRule ^profile/(.*)/$ profile.php?id=$1
The line I'm trying to use is on the very bottom, RewriteRule ^profile/(.*)/$ profile.php?id=$1. The rest is used to remove the page extensions from the urls. I've changed $1 to $2 thinking perhaps it was conflicting with the code above, but nothing changed.
I also removed all the code except for RewriteEngine on and the last line thinking maybe the codes were conflicting but, again, nothing changed or worked. The rest of the code does work, removing the extensions from urls that is, so I know the rewrite thing is on.
Could someone try to break down and explain what I did wrong and how all this works? As well as providing a working example of the thing I'm trying to accomplish?
Thanks in advance!
Change order of your rules and use MultiViews option. Option MultiViews is used by Apache's content negotiation module that runs before mod_rewrite and and makes Apache server match extensions of files. So /file can be in URL but it will serve /file.php.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
I want to rewrite my URLs which are based upon directories I have
My directories look like this:
index.php
galleries
-Party Weekend
-2014
-Bunchofimages.png
-Other pics
-Pictures.png
And the urls look like:
example.com/?f=/Party%20Weekend/2014
And I was looking for something like
example.com/Party-Weekend/2014
(Can be a dash or a + sign, doesn't really matter)
(Using .htaccess seems like the best option but I have no experience with .htaccess at all)
Also do I need to customize every single folder in the rewrite engine or can this be done dynamicly? (So I don't need to make a new rule for every folder I create)
I tried this but doesn't rewrite anything at all
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ /?f=$1 [L]
Am I doing something wrong here?
Try something like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+\?f=([^\ &]+)
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [L,R]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/galleries%{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /?f=$1 [L]
There may be some encoding issues related to the spaces in your folder names, so you may either need some combination of the NE or B flags in side the brackets.
Using .htacces is the best and only way
you don't have to customize all folders you do it all dynamically

URL Rewriting for Beginners :
http://www.addedbytes.com/articles/for-beginners/url-rewriting-for-beginners/
I need to have URLs fitting this criteria:
www.domain.com/abc
rewritten to be:
www.domain.com/index.php?name=abc
I can do it where the last letter(s) are fixed like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*).htm$ index.php?name=$1
which means www.domain.com/abc.htm would go to www.domain.com/index.php?name=abc
but I need it to not have the .htm (or anything after the abc)
Can this be done? I've spent some time trying to find the solution but so far without success.
Thanks in anticipation.
Jon
Try this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+) /index.php?name=$1 [L]
I usually use RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?name=$1
I am not completely sure on your criteria though, this will send everything to the PHP script.
If you only want to rewrite the first part of a path ie. /abc but not abc/def or abc/ I can change it for you.
I've been working on this for a while and have tried a lot of different solutions I've seen on the web and can't seem to get this to work.
I have a site at www.mydomainname.com. The page that I want to handle ALL page requests is www.mydomain.com/index.php. I'd also like to set this up to work for any other domains that I point to this code base (using wildcards would be the way to go for that I think).
So the following URL types (or any other) should automatically go to index.php, while still keeping the original URL structure in the browser address bar:
www.mydomain.com/
mydomain.com/
www.mydomain.com/item/111
www.mydomain.com/item/itemname/anothervariable/value
www.mydomain.com/item/itemname/?variable=value
I'm using PHP 5 and a recent version of Apache with mod_rewrite enabled.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Simple:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpg|gif|ico|png|bmp|css|js)$
RewriteRule .* index.php
You could use the follow RewriteRule
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?originalUrl=$1
Untested, but it should work. You will then also have the original URL available in the 'originalUrl' GET parameter for further parsing.
Include this once per .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
If you need the information from the matched URL you can modify your RewriteRule to match portions of the old URL or just include everything by using the variables $1 and so forth. If for instance you wanted to get the item number passed in quickly to index.php, you could use this rule:
RewriteRule item/(.*)$ index.php?item=$1
