I'm trying to do a rewrite, where if the page doesnt exist, it rewrites to a category page. Its a bit different to the normal RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f as the page name is dynamic based on the URL.
If somebody visits a dynamic path name such as "/contacts"
I first want it to check if the following folder/file exists based on the path name:
/[dynamicpath]/[dynamicpath].php
example:
/contacts/contacts.php
If that doesnt exist, rewrite to the following page
/categories/category/category.php?cat_url=[dynamicpath]
example:
/categories/category/category.php?cat_url=contacts
I've tried the below, but it fails with the first RewriteRule triggering when the file exists and goes straight to the category rewrite.
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_URL} ^(.+)
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%1/%1.php !-f
RewriteRule (.+)/?$ $1/$1.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/?$ /categories/category/category.php?cat_url=$1 [QSA,L]
You may use these rules in your site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
# attempt rewrite to /[dynamicpath]/[dynamicpath].php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1/$1.php [L]
# else rewrite to categories/category/category.php?cat_url=...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ categories/category/category.php?cat_url=$1 [QSA,L]
I found the answer by checking the server variables being passed and discovered %{REQUEST_FILENAME} included the full file path (document_root+filename).
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI}%{REQUEST_URI}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ $1/$1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ categories/category/category.php?cat_url=%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

I've been trying to setup a RewriteRule for my .htaccess to redirect any not found .php url to my loader.php ... For some reasons, it's redirecting even if the file exist.
Here's what I have:
# Engine On for Extension Removal
RewriteEngine On
# Rewrite the url for the login page
RewriteRule ^login/?$ index.php?tab=login [NC,L]
# Load the url with the page loader if the url doesn't match any of the rule above
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ loader.php?page=$1 [NC,L]
# Remove PHP Extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
Everything is working before I added this line:
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ loader.php?page=$1 [NC,L]
Right now, no matter what is in my link, even if it exist or not, it'll load the loader.php. And I have other rules like the login one, same thing but different name which is why I didn't bother posting them.
Try
# Engine On for Extension Removal
RewriteEngine On
# Rewrite the url for the login page
RewriteRule ^login/?$ index.php?tab=login [NC,L]
# Remove PHP Extensio
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ loader.php?page=$1 [NC,L]
The problem with
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ loader.php?page=$1 [NC,L]
is that it accepts any .php url in the request and rewrites it to loader.php.
The condition
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
change this behaviour of the rule, it tells server to process the rule only when there is a request for non existent php file.
so I want to rewrite a URL. The default URL is http://example.com/m.php?i=random_string
Here's the rule
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule !.*\.php$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^m/([^/]+)/?$ m?i=$1 [L]
However, when I access http://example.com/m/random_string, the page comes up but my external css and js files don't load. Why does this happen? I thought that the directory does not change from the original rewritten URL.
The directory indeed does not change, but browser doesn't know that - what it gets looks like a directory, such as m/something, so it tries to load the CSS file relative to this directory.
To fix that, use absolute paths to your CSS and JS in the page, ie.:
/css/style.css
(the initial forward slash makes it absolute)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^m/([^/]+)/?$ m.php?i=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)(\?.*|)?$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php$2 [QSA,L]
Have your rules like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^m/([^/]+)/?$ m.php?i=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d and RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f will prevent first rewrite rule to be applied for real files and directories.
This is my folder structure
htdocs
-> testing
->index.php
->.htaccess
Inside index.php I have this code
<?php
if(isset($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'])) {
echo $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
}
?>
Inside .htaccess I have this code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php/$1 [NC,L]
Here is my question:
In the above htaccess rewrite rule, which will link my address localhost/testing/HelloWorld to localhost/testing/index.php/HelloWorld
Is it possible to do some thing like this? When the user enter localhost/testing/index.php/HelloWorld I want the browser to hide the word index.php and only display something like this localhost/testing/HelloWorld
I tried to redirect the link localhost/testing/index.php/HelloWorld to localhost/testing/HelloWorld by adding another rule in .htacces file but I get "The webpage has redirect loop" error message.
After I add in new rule the .htacces file looks like this
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php/$1 [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.+)$ /testing/$1 [R]
Does any ways that I could make my link like this? Thanks in advanced, your help will be very much appreciated.
You get the redirect loop, because the rewritten url matches the rule for redirection. You'll need to use a trick to make the external redirect only happen on an external request with index.php, not on an internal rewrite that maps a different request to that file. You can do this with %{THE_REQUEST} which will only ever be whatever the external request was. It will not update if you rewrite the file it maps to.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php/$1 [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|POST)\ /testing/index\.php/
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.+)$ /testing/$1 [R]
I have this rewrite rule that adds a .php extension to urls.
Url's entered look like this : http://localhost/Home
Url's read look like this : http://localhost/home.php
The problem i'm having is that some urls may look likes this:
http://localhost/sub/123
I should explain, this isn't actually a subdirectory. The sub part is the file and the 123 is used as a get variable. It looks cleaner this way.
If this happens you get a 500 error;
Here's what it is at the moment
#add php extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
And here's what i've tried but doesn't work.
#add php extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)|(.*)/(.*)$ $1.php
Change your code with this to solve your problem:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(phpscripts|js)/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)(?:/(.*?|))?/?$ /$1.php?$2 [L]
i want to rewrite url using .htaccess file,
my all data is saved in work folder on server
and i want to show that folder when user enter the complete webaddress
www.example.com to www.example.com/work using mod_rewrite
my code is
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /work/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
this code create problem when i enter somthing like www.example.com/folder/ than it externally redirect me to www.example.com/work/folder/ and shows 404 page not found even when work contains that folder and that folder contain index.php
Try this :
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?work/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /work/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
