i have urls like
http://mysite.com/index.php?p=resources
http://mysite.com/index.php?p=resources&s=view&id=938
but i want urls like
http://mysite.com/resources
http://mysite.com/resources/view/938
instead of making hundreds of rewrite rules i wonder if it would be possible to just have one? Ive head this is possible by "getting the uri and splitting it into parts" and then just add a rewrite rule for index.php
but how? could someone give an example or link a tutorial
I happen to use this in .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
This essentially calls index.php no matter what is requested. Then inside your PHP code you can look at $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to get the URL and parse it accordingly.
The RewriteCond lines are there to exclude direct calls to files. In my case I don't want stuff like requests for js/css/image files to go through index.php for performance reasons.
Create a .htaccess file. Not somefilename.htaccess, it is simply named .htaccess.
Note: Your index.php and .htaccess file should be in the same directory.
Now try this on your .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)$ index.php?p=resources
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?p=resources&s=view&id=938
</IfModule>

I am trying to forward all requests for other index.php files to the root index.php file with the path encoded as a GET variable. Here are some examples of what I mean:
http://my-site.com/this/is/the/path/index.php would become:
http://my-site.com/?path=%2Fthis%2Fis%2Fthe%2Fpath%2Findex.php
http://my-site.com/this/is/the/path/ would become:
http://my-site.com/?path=%2Fthis%2Fis%2Fthe%2Fpath%2F
http://my-site.com/this/is/the/path/index.php?v=var would become:
http://my-site.com/?path=%2Fthis%2Fis%2Fthe%2Fpath%2Findex.php%3Fv%3Dvar
How can this be done with the .htaccess file?
EDIT
To be clear, here is what I am hoping to achieve:
If a path is to a file called "index.php" it redirects as long is it is not the root index file. Note, said index.php file could have GET variables that should be included.
If a path ends in a slash, in should redirect as well as long is it is not the root. Again, note said path could have GET variables that should be included.
Otherwise, it should not redirect any other paths.
In summary, only paths to an index.php file (that are not the root) or that end in a slash should be redirected.
put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?path=$1 [L,QSA]
You can use this .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?path=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I suggest learning a little about regular expressions in Apache's mod_rewrite.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*/index.php)$ index.php?path=$1
Note this will only rewrite URL's that end in index.php and leave all other URL's alone, as that's the behavior you specified. If you want to rewrite all URL's to the index:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?path=$1
/
.. .htaccess
.. index.php
I have two files shown above in my servers root directory. I want to write a rule in .htaccess so that every time it will pass every parameters (i mean (.*)) to index.php?controller=parameter and index.php will route it accordingly. How can I write such a rule. Thanks
This rewrites everything to index.php except for existing directories/files:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /pro/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?controller=$1 [L,QSA]
Passing url to controller is not mandatory, since you can use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] (for example) in your index.php
At the root of my site... www.domain.com . want to add some static pages that the page url can be set from the user.
So if the users set as url profile then full page url should be www.domain.com/profile ..
So far a simple rewrite rule would do the job.
trasnlate it to something like /staticpage.php?tag=profile
The problem that i want some pages like www.domain.com/shop at the root which arent static...
So what can i do if all the requests for the main directory go to /staticpage.php?tag=$1 ?
I recommend using mod rewrite to send everything to your index.php file and using a front controller to do this. It makes it much easier.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
You'll find a lot more help about mod_rewrite on ServerFault as a general rule, but I tend to do this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^static.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^assets.*$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
RewriteRule .* /router.php
where "static" are uploaded files, and "assets" are production graphics/stylesheets/js libraries etc.
Every single time a user registers on my site I would like them to have their own subdirectory with their registered "username". Every user subdirectory will have the same "index.php" file which will do something.
For example: "/users/username1/" and "/users/username2/"
If some one wants to access the subdirectory they would simple go to:
"www.example.com/users/username1/" or "www.example.com/users/username2/"
The easy and messy solution would be to simply create a subdirectory for every user and place the same "index.php" file in every directory. But to me this is only going to crowd my server space and make my directories large.
I wanted to know if all this can be done using .htaccess? Can I create one "index.php" and one ".htaccess" file and place them both in my "/users/" directory? What would be the actual code that I would have to place in my .htaccess file??
If you have a better way of doing this please let me know. I am using Apache and PHP as my working environment.
Thank you
Well, for example, you could do it all with one htaccess like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
What it does:
switches on rewrite engine
checks if a requested file exists
checks if a requested directory exists
if NOT, it redirects request to your main index.php
Basically that means if you enter url such as yourdomain.com/users/ivan/, you request will be redirected to:
index.php?url=/users/ivan
then you $_GET['url'] in your index.php and split it into pieces.
That's just an example, there other mod_rewrite methods to do this.
Make it virtual. There are no subdirectories, you can use mod_rewrite to simulate that.
With mod_rewrite you can make /users/username1 lead to /users.php?user=username1 for instance. Everything is transparent for the client, he wont notice what is really happening.
By using something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([\-_0-9A-Za-z]+)$ index.php?a=$1 [L]
You can customize RewriteRule as much as you want.
You can essentially type in any directory you want, and it will be redirected to your index.php page.
If you want to make sure the existing directories are not redirected, do this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([\-_0-9A-Za-z]+)$ index.php?a=$1 [L]
If you want to limit the scope, so only a subdirectory of user/ is redirected (similar to Stack Overflow), simply add in 'user' to the start of the rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^user/([\-_0-9A-Za-z]+)$ index.php?a=$1 [L]
And finally, if you want to have an individual file handle all user requests seperate from your actual index.php page:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^user/([\-_0-9A-Za-z]+)$ users.php?a=$1 [L]
This is a very similar setup I use to distribute CSS files.
Note: The Directory will be contained is $_GET['a']
I have a .htaccess file which arranges that all requests go through index.php.
Now i would like to make an exception for rss.php. to go straight throuh rss.php.
How do I do this?
This is how it looks like now:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php
Thanks.
Put this before the last line.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/rss\.php$
You can exclude any existing file with an additional RewriteCond directive:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
Or alternatively do a rewrite that matches the file then skips the rest of the rewrite tests.
By putting the following line before your existing RewriteRule will redirect without going through index.php.
RewriteRule ^/rss.php /rss.php [L]
I came across this page while hunting for a way to do this with my /robots.txt file.
