I'm running a few .htaccess rewrite rules, to transform the URL path into a index.php query parameter.
So basically when someone visits https://example.com/elections it transforms the URL into https://example.com/?page=elections
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
# Ignore extensions
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(css|js|jpg|png|gif|svg|pkg)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+/[^/]+/). $1 [R=301,L]
# Rewrite
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
This works great! There's only one issue, and that is unexpected behavior when there are 3 or more slashes in the URL the visitor entered.
So when someone visits https://example.com/one/two/three it transforms the URL into https://example.com/C:/xampp/htdocs/project/test/test/ (localhost test).
How can I make it so it just returns the regular 404 instead of this unexpected behavior?
(It's odd because it doesn't do that with 2 slashes)
Converting my comment to answer so that solution is easy to find for future visitors.
Problem is due to your first 301 error which causing this unwanted redirect and that too to a wrong target URL.
You can just keep this code in your .htaccess:
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
# Rewrite
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
Make sure to test after clearing browser cache or test in a new browser to avoid old browser cache.

I have a URL called
http://localhost:8080/text/index.php?id=2
and I have to redirect on
http://localhost:8080/text/2
So I added the below code in the .htaccess but it's not working
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/d]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA]
I refer to the below two links. Is there any issue with my code?
common-htaccess-redirects-19-6-2018 and htaccess-rules
After suggested answer, I tried below code
HTML
Register
login
or
Register
login
.htaccess code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^[\w-]+/(\d+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
With your shown samples, please try following. Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs. This considers that you are
hitting URL http://localhost:8080/text/2 in browser.
##Making RewriteEngine ON here.
RewriteEngine ON
##Placing conditions to check if these are non-existing pages only.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
##Writing rule to rewrite to index.php with needed variable here.
RewriteRule ^[\w-]+/(\d+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
Issues in OP's attempt: You are trying to attempt to match digits in starting where your url doesn't have digits, so rather use [\w-]+ with it. Also use QSA,L flags with your rewrite rule to handle query string and come out of the rule in case this is executing.
I have the following URL
https://example.com/expert-profile?id=john-doe&locale=en
I want it to be redirected to
https://example.com/expert/john-doe
I tried the following
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(([^&]*&)*)id=([^&]+)&?(.*)?$
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 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=$2 [L]
I have a URL with a parameter which I wish to make into sef URL:
want:
http://map.tautktiv.com/street.php?address=abc
to become:
http://map.tautktiv.com/street/address/abc
or
http://map.tautktiv.com/address/abc
have tried several online tools to generate a .htaccess rule, but none of them have any effect on the URL, .htaccess file is active (tried to put some gibberish in it and got error 500)
these are the rules I tried:
1.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^address-([^-]*)$ /street.php?address=$1 [L]
RewriteRule street/address/(.*) street.php?address=$1
2.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /address/(.*)\.php street.php?address=$1
3.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# add whatever other special conditions you need here
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)-(.*)$ /street.php?address=$1 [L]
RewriteRule /(.*)/(.*)/$ street.php?address=$1
the site is a sub-domain which files reside in a sub directory in a shared hosting GoDaddy server, have also tried to apply these rules to the .htaccess in the directory above it, same result.
tried also this per below suggestions
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^street/address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
RewriteRule ^address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
RewriteRule ^street/address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
same result, nothing happens.
tried to go directly to page from main domain but same result:
http://tautktiv.com/map/streets/street.php?address=abc
First rule will redirect your ugly URL to the pretty URL.
Second rule will internally redirect it back so the user will not see the ugly URL.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Internally forward /street/address/abc to /street.php?address=abc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^street/address/(.*)/?$ /street.php?address=$1 [NC,L]
# Internally forward /address/abc to /street.php?address=abc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^address/(.*)/?$ /street.php?address=$1 [NC,L]
If you confirm the rule to be working as expected then you can change it from 302 to 301 as you do not want to use 301 until you know the rule is working as expected.
The .htaccess should go inside the folder where street.php is located.
HTTP is US ASCII so your language would fail, it will redirect it to something like this:
/street/address/%25D7%2590%2520%25D7%2598%25D7%2591%25D7%25A8%25D7%2599%2520%25D7%2599%25D7%25A8%25D7%2595%25D7%25A9%25D7%259C%25D7%2599%25D7%259D%2520%25D7%2599%25D7%25A9%25D7%25A8%25D7%2590%25D7%259C
Your best bet here would be to change the links to use /street/address/word instead of the php file directly.
This way you would not need the first rule and you can use only the internal redirect which would work just fine with this update.
Try this one:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^street/address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
RewriteRule ^address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
In your examples you'd missed ^ and $ in the second row of RewriteRule.
And use [r=301,L] instead of [L] to tell the browser, that thzis is premanent redirecting.
I'm trying to implement a REST-style URL with a mod-rewrite turned on in .htaccess. There's a bit of a kicker which is that I'm developing in a test environment (new cpanel account). Here's the .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
#REMOVE THIS LINE ON SITE LAUNCH!
RewriteBase /~myNewAccount/
#Hide .php extensions for cleaner URLS
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
Options All -Indexes
The URL I CAN use looks like this:
www.example.com/~myNewAccount/index.php/id/50
I can access the PATH_INFO here, but when I try to do this:
www.example.com/~myNewAccount/index/id/50
...I get a 500 internal server error. I've tried implementing the solution found here by Gumbo but that mucks things up.
Ideas on what might be causing this?
Try this rule:
RewriteRule ^index(/.*)?$ index.php$1 [L]
Or if you don’t want index to be in the URL path at all:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [L]
