How to check multiple cookies are set in .htaccess? - .htaccess

Question

I am checking a single cookie named "user" in my .htaccess file. If the cookie is set then redirect to index.html page while if cookie is not set then redirect to index.php page. I am not sure whether it is a proper approach of checking cookie existence but here's my .htaccess rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} user;? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.html?url=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !user;? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
But suppose if I have one more cookie named "login" then how do we check that in this .htaccess file?
Do I need to repeat same lines of above code for that particular cookie? Can we check multiple cookies in a single condition or line?

Answer 1

Could you please try following, written based on your shown samples.
Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} user;? [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} login;? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.html?url=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !user;? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
OR try within a single ruleset itself. Kindly make sure either you use above rules OR following rules only one at a time.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} (user|login);? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.html?url=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !user;? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

Can we check multiple cookies in a single condition or line?
Yes sure you can use condition like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.(php|html)$ - [L,NC]
# skip all files and directories from rewrite rules below
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# execute when either of these cookies are set
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} (^|;)(user|login)= [NC]
RewriteRule .+ index.html?url=$0 [QSA,L]
# execute when neither of above cookies are set
RewriteRule .+ index.php?url=$0 [QSA,L]
