I am currently trying to implement a REST API. For this, the URL to be called should be in a specific format:
/customer/{customerid}/orders/periods
/customer/{customerid}/orders/periods/{period}
I got variants 1 and 2 working with this RewriteRule.
RewriteRule ^customer/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/orders/periods/([a-z0-9-]+)?$ api/customer.php?customer_id=$1&period=$2 [L]
Now the parameter "year" should be added optionally:
3. /customer/{customerid}/orders/periods?year={year}
My approach would be this rule, but that doesn't really work (at least not for variant 2).
RewriteRule ^customer/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/orders/periods([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)?$ api/customer.php?customer_id=$1&year=$2 [L]
Does anyone have any ideas? My knowledge of Rewrite Rules is unfortunately somewhat limited.
Thanks in advance.
I'm moving the site to a subdomain and need certain tag strings to go to the subdomain and some to remain on the main site. Problem is both have a similar tag system.
I need this type of request
https://www.site.co.uk/tags/example-tag
to go here:
https://sub.site.co.uk/tags/example-tag
but this type of request
https://www.site.co.uk/tags/view?tags=14-some-varriable
to remain unchanged and parsed to content without redirecting.
What would be the most recommended and best solution?
I have written some code to work around other redirects but this one is causing me a headache.
Cheers
For your this mentioned example, below should work.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.+)/(.+)
RewriteRule ^ https://sub.site.co.uk/%1/%2 [R]
I'm new to programming and brand new to this site (although it has helped out many times as I'm trying to learn this stuff...so THANKS for all the help so far!).
My question relates to 301 redirects. I've been searching this site as well as many other pages through google and can't seem to find a solution that works for me (I'm guessing that the solution is probably already out there since it seems like a common problem...but I haven't yet been able to find it).
So here it is:
I have a site where: http://homework-heroes.com/php/views/newAssignment.php?[then any query string] always goes to the same page.
For the sake of eliminating duplicate content as seen by google, I want these to always redirect to: http://homework-heroes.com/php/views/newAssignment.php?final
What is the htaccess code I should insert to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
Place the following in your /.htaccess file:
RewriteRngine On
RewriteRule %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteRule %{QUERY_STRING} !^final$
RewriteRule ^(php/views/newAssignment.php)$ /$1?final [R=302,NC,L]
The above basically says that if the query string is not blank and a request is being made to /php/views/newAssignment.php, then redirect to the same page with ?final as the new query string.
Alternatively, if you would like to remove the query string altogether, just remove final,leave the question mark in the rule, and remove the second condition.
If you're happy and want to make the redirect permanent, change 302 to 301.
Im trying to perform a mod rewriting to my web site. And I used to do this rewriting for quite some time. Of course I am very much upto the task until I met new requirement to create a rewritten URL with query strings after .html
Example - http://kypseli/admin/catagory.html?parent_id=1
I have used this this regex.
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-/_]+).([html])/?$ index.php?rt=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
But the query string value (parent_id) not passing.
This is working with out the .html part for perfection.
http://kypseli/admin/catagory/?parent_id=1
But I want it with .html part, as I have found lots and lots of same technique usage every where in WWW. here is one example
http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/video_audio/559158.html?genre=46
Can someone please help.
If you want to get all query string elements from the first query to be appended on your rewritten query you need to add the [QSA] flag to the rewriteRule, or [qsappend] if you prefer long and descriptive tags.
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-/_]+)/?$ index.php?rt=$1 [qsappend]
Now I do not understand fully what you mean about '.html', but I hope this will be enough.
EDIT
your problem is maybe the dot, it should be escaped \. and it should be in the optionnal part if it is optionall so :
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-/_]+)/?$ index.php?rt=$1 [qsappend]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-/_]+)\.html?$ index.php?rt=$1 [qsappend]
Or if you want only one rule, this should work (untested)
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-/_]+)([\.html|/])?$ index.php?rt=$1 [qsappend]
And it's unsure you really need the ? in your rewriteRule, you may want to apply it even without query strings.
I'm creating a frontpage for my website with a single form and input text, Google-style. It's working fine, however, I want to generate a pretty URL based on the input. Let's say, my input is called "id", and using the GET method of form, and the action defined to "/go/", on submission, the URL will be:
site.com/go/?id=whateverIType
and I want to change it to
site.com/go/whateverIType
I was thinking on Mod Rewrite, but if the user put something in the URL, like:
site.com/go/?dontwant=this&id=whateverIType&somemore=trash
I want to ignore the other variables but "id", and rewrite the rule.
What's the better way of get this done? Thanks in advance!
PS: I'm using CodeIgniter, maybe there's something I can use for it as well. I already have a controller for "go".
I'm not familiar with CodeIgniter, but you can try the following RewriteRule
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^\/go\/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([^&]*)
RewriteRule (.*) /go/%1? [L,R]
The %1 references the regex group from the previous RewriteCond, and the trailing ? will strip the querystring from the redirected URL.
Hope this helps.
Mod_rewrite supports conditions and rules with RegEx, so you could have a rule that matched the ?id=XXXX, that would extract it from the URL (keeping the other parameters), and rewrote the URL accordingly.
However... I don't think you want to do this, because if you rewrite the URL to be /go/Some+Search+Query, you won't be able to pick it up with say, PHP, without parsing the URL out manually.
It's really tough to have custom, SEO-friendly URLs with user input, but it is technically possible. You're better off leaving in the ?id=XXX part, and instead, using mod_rewrite in the opposite approach... take all URLs that match the pattern /go/My+Search+Terms and translate that back into something like ?id=My+Search+Terms, that way you'll be able to easily parse out the value using the URL's GET parameters. This isn't an uncommon practice - Google actually still uses URL parameters for user input (example URL: http://www.google.com/search?q=test).
Just keep in mind that mod_rewrite rewrites the URL before anything else (even PHP), so anything you do to the URL you need to handle. Think of mod_rewrite as a regular expression-based, global "Find and Replace" for URLs, every time a page is called on the server. For example, if you remove the query string, you need to make sure your website/application/whatever accounts for that.
In application/config/routes.php
$route['go/(:any)'] = "go/index/$1";
Where go is your controller and index is the index action.

You can use something like this in your .htaccess if you aren't already:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
