I'm trying to accomplish rewrite and redirect URL query string as folder.
My rewrite/redirect is as per the below:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?folder/sub-folder-with-get-param-(.*?)/?$ /folder.php?key=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /folder\.php\?key=([^\&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^/?folder\.php$ /folder/sub-folder-with-get-param-%1? [L,R=301]
The above works but once I get to the directed page and do a secondary search the URL returns:
/folder/folder?key=value
Which returns a 500 internal server error.
How would I go about in fixing this - would I need to do a secondary redirect? sorry if this is a stupid question I just find redirects hard to get my head around.
Thanks

I have the following URL
https://example.com/expert-profile?id=john-doe&locale=en
I want it to be redirected to
https://example.com/expert/john-doe
I tried the following
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(([^&]*&)*)id=([^&]+)&?(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^expert-profile$ https://example.com/expert/%3?%1%4 [L,R=301]
And a couple of other solutions, nothing is working here. Can someone help me to go in the right direction?
Update:
This is my current .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
</IfModule>
Redirect 301 "/en/download-app" "/download-app"
Please keep your htaccess file in your root and have it in following way.
Please clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([^&]*)&locale=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^-]*)-.*/?$ $1/%1-%2 [R=301,L]
OR in case you don't have Rules to handle non-existing files/directories then use following Rules set. Please make sure either use above OR following Rules set one at a time only.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([^&]*)&locale=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^-]*)-.*/?$ $1/%1-%2 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(?:expert)/([^-]*)-(.*)$ $1-profile?id=$1&locale=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^ /index.html [L]
I have following URL
https://example.com/expert-profile?id=john-doe&locale=en
I want it to be redirected to
https://example.com/expert/john-doe
You would need to do something like the following at the top of your .htaccess file, before your existing directives (order is important):
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (?:^|&)id=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^expert-profile$ /expert/%1 [QSD,R=301,L]
This captures the value of the id URL parameter (in the %1 backreference) regardless of where it appears in the query string and discards all other URL parameters. I'm assuming you don't specifically need to match locale=en?
Note that the regex subpattern ([^&]+) (the id value) only matches something, not nothing. If the URL parameter is empty (ie. id=&locale=en) then no redirect occurs.
The QSD flag is necessary to discard the original query string.
Test first with a 302 (temporary) redirect to avoid potential caching issues. And clear your browser cache before testing. Only use a 301 (permanent) redirect if this really is intended to be permanent.
To redirect the specific URL /expert-profile?id=<name>&locale=en to /expert/<name>, ie. the id parameter is at the start of the query string and is followed by locale=en only then you can (and should) be more specific in the condition. For example:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([^&]+)&locale=en$
RewriteRule ^expert-profile$ /expert/%1 [QSD,R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(([^&]*&)*)id=([^&]+)&?(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^expert-profile$ https://example.com/expert/%3?%1%4 [L,R=301]
This is close (providing you placed the rule at the top of the file), however, this tries to preserve the other URL parameters, ie. locale=en and whatever else, to create another query string - which you've not stated in your requirements.
Aside: The existing answers are assuming you are wanting to internally rewrite (URL rewrite) the request in the other direction, ie. from /expert/john-doe to /expert-profile?id=john-doe&locale=en. This is probably due to how questions of this nature are notoriously miswritten and this is often the real underlying intention. However, you've made no mention of this here and a URL of the form /expert-profile is not a valid endpoint - so it wouldn't really make sense to "rewrite" the URL in that direction. (?)
If you want it rewritten, capture the name (.+) and insert it into the target $1
RewriteRule ^expert/(.+)$ /expert-profile?id=$1&locale=en [L]
And don't use flag R|redirect here, unless you really want a redirect.---
To redirect from expert-profile?id=john-doe to expert/john-doe, capture the id (.+?) from the query string and insert it in the substitution URL %1
RewriteCond &%{QUERY_STRING}& &id=(.+?)&
RewriteRule ^expert-profile$ /expert/%1 [R,L]
When everything works as it should, you may replace R with R=301 (permanent redirect).
Don't use both rules together. If you do, it will result in an endless redirect loop and finally give a "500 Internal Server Error".
Unrelated, but never test with R=301!
I am beginner in codding. I want make url pretty. I search this question on google then i found i have to use .htaccess. I tried htaccess code.
Here is my URL looklike
website.com/project-details.php?Residential/The-Serenas/1
I want to make url like website.com/Residential/The-Serenas/1
I want to remove entire "project-details.php?" word from url by htaccess.
here is my .htaccess code
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /basename/
# external redirect from actual URL to pretty one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /project-details\.php\?([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ view/%1? [R=302,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /project-details\?([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ view/%1? [R=302,L]
# internally rewrites /view/ABC123 to project-details.php?ABC123
RewriteRule ^view/([A-Za-z0-9_#./#&+-]+)$ project-details.php?$1 [L,NC,QSA]
# PHP hiding rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
Above htaccess code work and url replacce to website.com/view/Residential/The-Serenas/1
If i remove view from this line RewriteRule ^ view/%1? [R=302,L].
Then page goes to 404 error. If i dont remove view then code worked but view show on url.
I dont want to show anything on url only remove "project-details.php?" this.
This rule is to check the request uri whether is /project-details.php and any query string follow behind, and redirect user to the uri that matches the query string. %1 is the backreference and provide access to the grouped parts (in parentheses) of the pattern, in this case ([^\s&]+). For example, if uri /project-details.php?Residential/The-Serenas/1 is requested, the user will be redirected to /Residential/The-Serenas/1.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /project-details\.php\?([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1? [R=302,L]
This rule is to check if user requests existing file and directory, if not, then the uri is rewritten internally (only server knows the destination uri, user does not know this). For example, if uri /Residential/The-Serenas/1 is requested, the server will rewrite the uri to project-details.php?/Residential/The-Serenas/1.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_#./#&+-]+)$ project-details.php?$1 [L,NC,QSA]
I am simply trying to rewrite automatically this:
From: mysite.com/channel.php?id=BBC&name=British Broadcasting Company &date=today
To: mysite.com/channel-britishbroadcastingcompany-today.html
I've tried with:
RewriteRule ^channel-(.*)-(.*)\.html$ /channel.php?id=1&name=$2&date=$3 [R]
But nothing happens.
Hope this simplest one will help you out. This will redirect if
1. REQUEST_URI is /channel.php
2. QUERY_STRING matches this pattern id=something&name=something&date=something
Redirect this to /channel-%1-%2.html here
1. %1 will hold value of name parameter
2. %2 will hold value of date parameter
RewriteEngine on
Options -MultiViews
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/channel\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=.*?&name=(.*?)&date=(.*)
RewriteRule .* /channel-%1-%2.html? [R=301]
As per the requirement specified by OP to first redirect url on html page on the basis of some query parameters then rewriting the request on previous page. So the complete code of .htaccess will be like this.
RewriteEngine on
Options -MultiViews
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/channel\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=.*?&name=(.*?)&date=(.*)
RewriteRule .* /channel-%1-%2? [R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/channel\-(.*?)\-(.*?)
RewriteRule .* /channel.php? [L]
Explanation of 2nd part which is added.
1. REQUEST_FILENAME if file does not exist as a file and directory.
2. REQUEST_URI If request_uri starts with such pattern channel-somewords-somewords
then rewrite request on /channel.php
If I understand the problem correctly, You currently have a file channel.php and what You want to achieve is get more "friendly" URLs for SEO and general aesthetics in the browser location bar but still have channel.php handle your requests.
If this is really the case then You need a two-way rewrite.
First, You need to take your original URL and redirect it to a new, pretty version.
Second, You need to rewrite this pretty URI internally and still feed it to channel.php behind the scenes.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# This part rewrites channel.php?name=X&date=Y into channel-X-Y.html
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =GET
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*\&)?name=([^&]+)\&date=([^&]+)(?:\&(.*))?
RewriteRule ^channel.php$ channel-%2-%3.html?%1%4 [R,L,NE]
# This part rewrites it back into channel.php but keeps the "friendly" URL visible
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^channel-(.*)-(.*).html$ channel.php?name=$1&date=$2 [L,QSA]
Note that the first rule-set limits the rewrite to method GET - otherwise You will lose any submitted POST data.
It also allows for any other query-string parameters to surround name and date (the rest of query-string parameters will pass-through to .html URI and then will be picked back up by channel.php)
Also note the ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS rule - this is crucial, without that part You'll be stuck in redirect loop.
See
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-_.]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-_.]+)/([a-z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1&goto=$2 [NC,L]
What it's going to do is check the index.php and replace to some like, site/dir/index.php to site/dir/namehere than in index.php you can use explode() to separate the values of current url ang get the variables
I am assuming you are asking for rewrite although you are using redirect flag in your current rules, and also assuming BBC to be static in id variable then try with below,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^channel-([^/]+)-([^/]+).html$ channel.php?id=BBC&name=$1&date=$2 [L]
Good day all.
I've written a very basic redirect to handle the querystring and foldernames in the URL.
actually my code is this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|POST|HEAD)\ /product-detail\.html\?intid=([^&]+)&name=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /product-detail/%2/%3/? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?product-detail/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /product-detail.php?intid=$1&name=$2 [L]
It seems pretty straight forward, but once I make a request like:
http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/product-detail.html?intid=1234&name=pippo
I get redirected to:
http://www.xxxxxxxxxx.com/product-detail/1234/pippo/
which is fine, but I got also this error:
The requested URL /product-detail/1234/pippo/ was not found on this server.
Now, the second rule seems correct to me, I really do not understand what is going wrong.
I'm trying to make a url rewrite to a page, where it should find a hashtag.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/posts/hashtag/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?url=posts&hashtag=$1
But this way does not seem to work.
e.g. if the value $1 is funny, the output should be domain.com/posts/hashtag/funny but it's not.
Try it like this, when you put url domain.com/posts/hashtag/funny in your browser it will rewritten to index.php?url=posts&hashtag=$1 internally.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^posts/hashtag/([\w-]+)$ index.php?url=posts&hashtag=$1 [QSA,L]
