.htaccess RewriteRule conditional rule - .htaccess

I'm trying to write a rule where the same link will point to the same page, except it will change the variable based on what follows "blog/" part of the URL. For example, if it's:
mycooldomain.net/blog/new
It should redirect to
mycooldomain.net/blog_page/index.php?do=new
I've tried the following but am not getting the desired results:
RewriteRule ^blog/(^guest|new)?$ blog_page/index.php?do=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^blog/?([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)?/?$ blog_page/index.php?article=$1 [NC,L]
On my index.php page I will add logic to load different page elements based on $_GET['do'].
What am I missing?

this will do.
RewriteRule ^blog/new$ /blog_page/index.php?do=new [L,R=301]

how to replace "?" and "=" sign with "/" in URL - PHP htaccess

i am working on project, which is running XAMPP localhost and PHP MYSQLI,
my question : how i replace "?","=" signs with "/" slash. ?
like, my url is "archive?date=2017-06-02&p=4"
and i want to force it "archive/2017-08-02/4"
i found many codes on stackoverflow and some other sites, but that are not working for me.
if codes are working then, CSS files and GET method doesn't work on my project.
complete code of .htaccess is given below.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^=]*)=([^=]*)=(.*) /$1/$2/$3 [N]
RewriteRule ^([^=]*)=([^=]*)$ $1/$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^home index.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^archive archive.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^about about.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^article article.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^news news.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^video videos.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^video?vid=([0-9]+) videos.php?q=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^article?num=([0-9]+) article.php?num=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^editorial?num=([0-9]+) editorial.php?num=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^news?news=([0-9]+) news.php?news=$1 [NC,L]
You cannot check against the query string in a rewrite rule. You need rewrite conditions for that:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} date=([^&]+)&p=(.+)
RewriteRule ^archive/? /archive/%1/%2?
Demo here: http://htaccess.mwl.be?share=81e85c09-d505-5206-ab14-6c5059107808
If you want to actually redirect just add [R=301,L] to the end of the RewriteRule.
However, looking at the above I suspect you have your script sitting listening at /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar but want URLs to be like /archive/date/p, ie pretty.
This is actually a very common misconception about how htaccess URL rewrites work when you first get into them.
RewriteRules will mask or redirect URLs for you but they cannot change the underlying location a script is located at and thus the address used to pass it information.
In other words - you can mask /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar as /archive/date/p so that requests made to /archive/date/p resolve to /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar, but you cannot make it so that if you enter /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar as URL you have the URL change to /archive/date/p while still serving content from /archive/date/p. It has to be either or.
If this all sounds about right my advice would be as follows:
First, put your code into a different file, say /archive/script.php.
Next add the following to your htaccess:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} date=([^&]+)&p=(.+)
RewriteRule ^archive/? /archive/%1/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^archive/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /archive/script.php?date=$1&p=$2
Note that the first two lines are the same as before, but now there is a new line that looks for the masked URL format of /archive/date/p and sends it off to the actual script, which is handled by the new RewriteRule.
The behaviour of the new rule is demoed here: http://htaccess.mwl.be?share=06751667-f16f-5c13-91eb-dd5cffdc6db3
Hope this makes sense / helps.

.htaccess - Different Url Different Request

I'm try to make one trick for my webpage but I don't have any idea to make it that.
if my url is
mydomain.com/eu/en/home/11-item-item.html.
I want to add this ?SubmitCurrency=anything&id_currency=1 in last of that url.
But just only for one time adding this and not showing users is this possible?
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(eu/en/home/11-item-item\.html)$ $1?SubmitCurrency=anything&id_currency=1 [L]

301 redirect get pagination

I'm trying to 301 redirect a paginated blog list from an old site onto a new url.
I think I'm getting pretty close with the RewriteRule but I'm not quite there yet, this is what I have:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=
RewriteRule ^(blog)?$ http://www.newdomain.com/news/page/$1? [R=301,L]
Using this rule if I go to
http://www.olddomain.com/blog?page=1
I currently get redirected to
http://www.newdomain.com/news/page/blog
I would like to be sent to
http://www.newdomain.com/news/page/1
I'm sure its just something small and simple that I'm missing.
Edit
Expanding on the solution below, I've added tags/category support to the rewrite rule using $1.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^blog/tag/([^/\.]+)?$ http://www.newdomain.com/news/tag/$1/page/%1? [R=301,L,NC]
Few minor mistakes in your code.
You need to capture page parameter's value from query string first
Then use that capture value using % instead of $1
No need to capture blog since you don't need it.
Change your code with:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^blog/?$ http://www.newdomain.com/news/page/%1? [R=301,L,NC]

mod_rewrite so that first-level subdirectory is a GET variable

Alright, title is REALLY sloppy.
Here's my problem: I have a news site and when you go to the main page (domain.com) it redirects you to domain.com/news/top?geography=San_Francisco after it figures out your geography.
How do I use the .htaccess so that it goes from domain.com/news/top?geography=San_Francisco domain.com/San_Francisco/news/top ?
There are some similar questions, but I have not found one similar enough in that you're editing the URL as a furtherback subdirectory.
It should also be noted that I am using the Code Igniter framework for PHP and it normally has it as domain.com/index.php/news/top?geography=San_Francisco but I did a mod_rewrite already to get rid of the index.php. The code is as follows for that:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Code I've tried:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/news/top$ /news/top?geography=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Before the index.php rule that you have, try adding this:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/news/top$ /news/top?geography=$1 [L,QSA]
You'll need to make sure the links you generate are in the form of domain.com/San_Francisco/news/top though.
But to take care of the links in the wild that still look like the old way, you have to match against the actual request:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /news/top\?geography=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^news/top$ /%1/news/top? [L,R=301]
This will 301 redirect the browser if someone goes to the link domain.com/news/top?geography=San_Francisco and make it so the browser's address bar says this: domain.com/San_Francisco/news/top. At which point the browser will send another request for the second URL, and you use the rule above to change it back into the one with a query string.

RewriteRule does not work, while the rest do

My blog's .htaccess is setup in such a way that one page is accessed through multiple URLs, and displays different content depending on which URL is visited.
http://kn3rdmeister.com/category/blog/
http://kn3rdmeister.com/2012/
http://kn3rdmeister.com/2012/07/
all are actually using http://kn3rdmeister.com/blog.php.
The .htaccess file is very handy in the sense that I only need to redirect to one page (pretty much ever) just with different query strings. After a lot messing around with 'em, all of my rules finally work, and I'm dang glad that they do. Well, almost all of them work. The last one does not.
the .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog\.php$ /category/blog/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^category/blog/?$ blog.php [L]
RewriteRule ^category/blog/page/?$ /category/blog/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^category/blog/page/([0-9]*)/?$ /category/blog/?pagenum=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1&month=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1&month=$2&day=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(^/]+)/?$ /category/blog/?url=http://kn3rdmeister.com/$1/$2/$3/$4/ [L]
The last rule is supposed to redirect to the "permanent link" page for each blog post. Being that each URL is unique, I'm using the post URLs as the unique identifier. Essentially, it is supposed to pass the "url" query string through "blog.php". The PHP script takes over, sees that the "url" query string is set, and then loads the only post with that exact URL in it's row.
The script works, but the redirect doesn't. Going directly to
http://kn3rdmeister.com/blog.php?url=http://kn3rdmeister.com/2012/07/04/amsterdam-ave/
will load the right content. However, going to
http://kn3rdmeister.com/2012/07/04/amsterdam-ave/
doesn't.
Try adding QSA (Query String Append). Also, invert rules so that "deeper" links go on top.
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(^/]+)/?$ /category/blog/?url=http://kn3rdmeister.com/$1/$2/$3/$4/ [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1&month=$2&day=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1&month=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1 [QSA,L]
But, you can't use rewritten links in other rules. So wherever you have category/blog/ replace it with blog.php.
Whilst webarto comments are good advice, your problem is a missing [:
^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([^/]+)/?$
not
^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(^/]+)/?$
