If you're using PHP, you may well be on an Apache server - in which case you can use Apache's mod_rewrite to provide restful URIs to your visitors.
Here is a short example:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^Search/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ search.php?key=$1&type=$2&term=$3 [L,NC]
This would translate
http://www.domainname/Search/books/title/Mission%20Impossible/
Into
http://www.domainname/search.php?key=books&type=title&term=Mission%20Impossible
The [L] means no further rules would be evaluated
The [NC] makes this case-insensitive (so "Search" and "search" would both work)
This is called Friendly URL: http://www.google.com/search?q=friendly+URL

http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/search-engine-friendly-urls
http://www.seoconsultants.com/articles/1000/urls.asp
It is also possible to use a PHP file as common part of the path and parse the request URI yourself. E.g.
http://www.example.com/index.php/books/AliceInWonderland
In this case, index.php could parse the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].

I am trying to use mod_rewrite to redirect users keeping the multiple query string and creating a redirect page
For Example,
If user opens
http://localhost/url/url/http://www.google.com/contacts/?user=abc&stackoverflow=great&google=facebook
then he is taken to
http://localhost/url/url.php?redirect=http://www.google.com/contacts/?user=abc&stackoverflow=great&google=facebook
There is secondary problem that URL should be encoded and then redirected! If URL is not encoded then the string (&stackoverflow=great)would be not a part of 'redirect' string of url.php
I tried many solutions then came for stackoverflow! I tried the following code in following file
http://localhost/url/.htaccess
RewriteRule ^url/([^/])$ url.php?redirect=$1 [QSA,L]
but the result is localhost/url/url.php?redirect=http only
Your setup won't work with the unencoded inner url, so an 'answer' can only have temporary character. But this might be a starting point:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/url/url/(.*)$ /url/url.php?redirect=$1 [L,QSA]
I wonder however if that fragment /url/url is really intended (the two 'url's in there).
Note that the exact rule content also depends on where you want to define that rule. The syntax is different whether you use the central server configuration (referred) or .htaccess style files (as second choice and more complex).
Try this
RewriteEngine on
Redirect ^url/url/(.*)$ url/url.php?redirect=$1
The basic redirect systax,
redirect accessed-file URL-to-go-to
I noticed on youtube their url does not have a file extension and querystring. I've been trying to emulate something similar but found I had to either include the file extension or a trailing slash.
members.php?agefrom=20&ageto=40&city=london (works)
members/?agefrom=20&ageto=40&city=london (works)
members?agefrom=20&ageto=40&city=london (doesnt work)
So I was just wondering how can I get the third case to work? i've tried a few things in the htaccess file.
RewriteRule ^members$ index.php?page=members&%{QUERY_STRING} [QSA,L]
I have tried the above but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
The RewriteRule that you posted is correct for members.php? and for members? It should not work with members/
You must have additional RewriteRules before this one that are getting applied first and are affecting this rule.
However, here is a rule that should still work for you:
RewriteRule ^members/?$ index.php?page=members&%{QUERY_STRING} [QSA,L]
The /? is saying to match if the slash exists or if it doesn't exist.
Have you tried to remove the $ on the end?
RewriteRule ^members/?$ index.php?page=members&%{QUERY_STRING} [QSA,L]
This did work in the end, all I had to do was move it nearer the top of the htaccess file. I had the following line which I guess was being read instead.
....
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/members$ [OR]
....
I am changing my approach to SEO URL's because I was trying to find articles on how the googlebot actually crawls forms and how it prefers the GET method. I was using jquery to alter my action parameter to write the following URL:
/members/london/18-to-25
I dont know how much google likes jquery and whether it would scan javascript code. I am assuimg it just follows the HTML code and having done some research I have changed my form to use the GET method and so the bot can crawl my form without complaining so now my URL looks like this:
/members?location=london&agefrom=18&ageto=40
I am on the right track to assume this? or should I just stick with jquery to rewrite the action parameter for an seo friendly URL?
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.
I want to have the URL http://something.com/somestring where the somestring is picked up by the php $_GET, instead of having to write http://something.com/index.php?var=somestring and inside php using $_GET["var"].
How do I do it?
If you are running on Apache, you can use mod_rewrite. Other servers have different methods, but the general term us 'URL rewriting' to describe this functionality.
Your question has already been answered. But to give you the common example for your case:
RewriteEngine
RewriteCond ./%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule ^(\w+)$ index.php?var=$1 [L]
The first cond prevents the rule from rewriting requests to real files. The second takes any alphanumeric string and appends it as GET parameter to your script.
You can use .htaccess and mod_rewrite to do this, assuming you are using apache as webserver -> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html
Look into .htaccess and mod_rewrite.
Another option would be using the $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]
http://something.com/index.php?=somestring
$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] would return "somestring"
Hey guys - im using var passing links like this to jump around a site...
<a href = "index.php?content=about.html">
...problem is, i have all the ugly var info visible in the url. I would usually hide it by using the post method, but i dont have any form tags, so is it even possible?
Thanks!!!!!!!
It's a bad idea. GET is used for reading, POST is used for updating. A better solution would be to use some sort of mod_rewrite to make friendly URLS. Often called SEO friendly URLS...
Yes, you can POST with a <a href... but you have to have a lot of ugly javascript to do it... which breaks all sort of standard conventions.
Update, combining some new information
#FDisk has the simplest solution below, but I would add a condition to it which would allow existing files to be passed through directly by the webserver without having to run it through PHP:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /index.php?content=$1 [L]
That way, a request to /images/bar.png will be served directly from the filesystem if that image exists.
Note, that your page does not necessarily need to have ".html" on the end anymore. So your URL could look like: http://example.com/about which would then be converted to: index.php?content=about
Taking it one step further from the link you listed in your post, you could then parse the url for various parameter. The example you looked up stuffed them into [$_GET, $HTTP_GET_VARS, $_REQUEST] respectively, but I think that's not such a good idea. Just make your own array of parameters.
You can try using the mod_rewrite extention
The original URL:
http://www.youwebsite.com/index.php?content=about.html
The rewritten URL:
http://www.youwebsite.com/about.html
.haccess file content:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /index.php?content=$1 [L]
you can hide info (var name and content) by encoding it. Thus the user won't be able to understand or change what you are passing around. But he will still see something in his url.
I guess you should give use some more context to understand why you cant use direct links to static pages ?
