I'm trying to redirect '/news' and any URL that starts with '/news/...'. The idea is that a URL can either by /news (the whole list), /news/category (news list within 'category') etc. etc.
The longer URLs work, but '/news' bypasses my first redirect rule and hits the second. I'm not great with PHP or .htaccess so any help would be greatly appreciated.
RewriteRule ^/?news([^\.]+)$ /news.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ /page.php [L]
You can use ? to tell that the group is optional:
RewriteRule ^news(/[^.]*)?$ /page.php [L]
So the URLs /news, /news/ and /news/something will match to this regular expression.
If you want to match to /news and /news/something only, you can use:
RewriteRule ^news(/[^.]+)?$ /page.php [L]

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=$2
Note that the first two lines are the same as before, but now there is a new line that looks for the masked URL format of /archive/date/p and sends it off to the actual script, which is handled by the new RewriteRule.
The behaviour of the new rule is demoed here: http://htaccess.mwl.be?share=06751667-f16f-5c13-91eb-dd5cffdc6db3
Hope this makes sense / helps.
im doing a cms at the moment
now im struggeling with the ajax implementation
i have everything running except a mod_rewrite problem..
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule \.html index.php [L]
this redirects nothing except html files to index.php
i need a second rule witch checks the REQUEST_URI for a parameter to prevent the full site gets loaded by ajax.
i dont think this is understandable so i just post what i want to achieve^^
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(?rewrite=no$)
RewriteRule \.html index.php [L]
i want nothing redirected except html files and also no redirect on url's with "(.html)?rewrite=no" at the end
hope someone can help me since rewrites and regexp are not my stongest stuff
thanks in advance
From the Apache docs:
REQUEST_URI
The path component of the requested URI, such as "/index.html". This notably excludes the query string which is available as as its own variable named QUERY_STRING.
So you are actually looking to match on %{QUERY_STRING} rather than %{REQUEST_URI}. Don't include the ? on the query string when matching its condition:
RewriteEngine On
# Match the absence of rewrite=no in the query string
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !rewrite=no [NC]
# Then rewrite .html into index.php
RewriteRule \.html index.php [L]
I have these links in my website:
www.example.org/folder/files.php?file=folder/document.pdf
www.example.org/folder/files.php?force&file=2009.pdf
and I want redirect to :
www.example.org/files/folder/document.pdf
www.example.org/files/2009.pdf
I tried :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^files/(.*)$ /files.php?file=$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
but doesn't work!
any help?
RewriteRule ^files/(.*)$ /files.php?file=$1 [R=301,L]
There are two issues with this rule ... first, what you are matching needs to appear first in the rule, then what you are rewriting appears second - you have that backwards.
Once you reverse that, though, you run into the second issue - you can't match query strings in a RewriteRule, you need to match them in a RewriteCond:
To match www.example.org/folder/files.php?force&file=2009.pdf and redirect it to www.example.org/files/2009.pdf you would do:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^force&file=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^folder/files.php$ /files/%1 [R=301, L]
The %1 matches what's in the parentheses in the RewriteCond.
Search on google first. The first thing displayed on google for htaccess is htaccess redirect. I think
Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://example.com/newdirectory/newfile.html (same line with a space) should work. Go to http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/242/How+do+I+redirect+my+site+using+a+.htaccess+file%3F . Php would also do the work. Just goolgle things before asking them.
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.
I need to redirect
/search?keywords=somesearchterm
to
/search/somesearchterm
This seems incredibly basic but I've been pounding my head against it for an hour.
Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
You want to implement what is called a "301 Redirect" with mod_rewrite.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/search\?keywords=somesearchterm$ /search/somesearchterm
adding regular expressions:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/search\?keywords=(.+) /search/$1 [R=301,L]
R=301 means provide a 301 Header redirect so the user's URL changes in the browser, and L means don't process any more rewrite rules if this one matches.
If you want to do the reverse -- in other words, if someone goes to mysite.com/search/asearchterm and you want the URL to stay the same, but "behind the scenes" you want it to load a certain server script, do this:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/search/(.+) /search.php\?keywords=$1 [L]
You can not match aginst Query string in RewriteRule directive. Use %{THE_REQUEST} or %{QUERY_STRING} server variables to match the Query string :
The following rule works fine for this redirection
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/search\?kewords=([^&\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /search/%1? [NE,NC,R,L]
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]+)/?$ /search?keyword=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
