Please help me in writing correct .htaccess code to get the wanted result.
I have the following pages:
www.mydomain.com/?exam=/hp-certification/
www.mydomain.com/?exam=/cisco-certification/
www.mydomain.com/?exam=/oracle-exam-prep/
www.mydomain.com/?exam=/faq/
www.mydomain.com/?exam=/support/
And there are many more pages but you can notice that the fixed part is: www.mydomain.com/?exam=
Instead of using query string links, I want the following links to work as above pages:
www.mydomain.com/hp-certification/
www.mydomain.com/cisco-certification/
www.mydomain.com/oracle-exam-prep/
www.mydomain.com/faq/
www.mydomain.com/support/
and so on.
your link should be like this www.mydomain.com/?exam=hp-certification/ and the rewrite rule would like this in .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ /?exam=$1 [L]
You can do that by using the following rules in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} exam=(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/%1? [R=301,NC,L]
So what does the above do?
First, it will take the query exam= as a condition, if this condition is met then it will grab any version of the variable using (.+).
It will then rewrite the URL using 301 redirection to show http://www.example.com/anything/. The use of %1 is to grab the variable from exam= and then we use ? to stop the original query string from appearing on the end of the newly rewritten URL.
Make sure you clear your cache before testing this.

Unfortunately I didn't get it solved by myself and need to ask for help. I want to redirect all urls which follow a certain pattern (in this case it contains "reviews/category"). These URLs supposed to be redirect to another url which is made up the first one:
http://[product-url]/reviews/category/[category-url]
supposed to be redirect to
http://[product-url].html
Furthermore it shouldn't matter if you call the url with or without www.
Example:
http://example.com/ford-blues/reviews/category/cars supposed to be redirect to http://example.com/ford-blues.html
Any help would be much appreciated.
Following code isn't working
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^reviews/category/?$ $1\.html [R=301,L]
Try:
RedirectMatch 301 ^(.*)/reviews/category/ /$1.html
in the htaccess file in your document root.
Or using mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/reviews/category/ /$1.html [L,R=301]
I am trying to work out how to remove the $_GET parameters from a URL.
I am using PHP to switch content so I can use one page(index.php).
An example URL is: www.example.com/?page=test OR www.example.com/index.php?page=test
I want it so if anything after and including the ? is removed.
So the result will always show: www.example.com/ OR www.example.com
Thanks in advanced.
Put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=test$
RewriteRule ^(index.php)?$ $0? [L,NC]
How to rewrite this url "www.domain.com/index.php?route=custom/static/page" to "www.domain.com/page" in htaccess file, basically just want to take out index.php?route=custom/static/ from urls.
I don't know regex so I tried http://www.generateit.net/mod-rewrite/, but it only generates
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /index.php?route=$1 [L]
which doesnt remove 'custom/static' from URLs, I tried a few other examples as well but only removes index.php? and doesnt pass variable, any help is appreciated.
Do you know the concept of using mod-rewrite?
In your question you have mentioned to use mod-rewrite to redirect
"www.domain.com/index.php?route=custom/static/page",
Here $_Get['route']="custom/static/page"] $url_parameter=$_Get['route']
to
"www.domain.com/page" [here $_Get['route']="page"],
So now you can mannually add "custom/static/" to the obtained value of $_Get['route']. as $url_parameter="custom/static"+$_Get['route'] //For PHP
Using your mod_rewrite you can fulfill your demands,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /index.php?route=$1 [L]
But if you need out of box solution using .htaccess then I suggest learning "rewrite-engine" instead of using generating tool
I am using .htaccess file to redirect my archived old aspx urls to my new php site. Now the requirement is as follows:
example.com/showad.aspx?adid=1234 should be example.com/ad/getad/1234
I googled the matter and got the following htaccess rule:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^adid=(\d+)$
RewriteRule ^showad\.aspx$ /ad/getad/%1
The rule works except that the resulting url is example.com/ad/getad/1234?adid=1234
I searched again and learned that to remove the (adid=1234) at the end of the output url you should place a question mark ? at the end of the substitution parameter, so that the rule should be:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^adid=(\d+)$
RewriteRule ^showad\.aspx$ /ad/getad/%1?
But it doesn't work!
The resulting url is STILL having the original query string appended to it. I am using this site to test my htaccess rules: htaccess.madewithlove.be
Any clues why is this happening?
Try changing your rule to
RewriteRule ^showad\.aspx$ /ad/getad/%1? [R=302,L]
Your rule is fine - I just tested it in my own .htaccess. It's the htaccess tester website that's wrong :)
I have followed this thread.
Question mark in the end of RewriteRule
My requirement was also same.
My page is redirecting(301) properly but it's displaying OBJECT NOT FOUND
My Actual URL
http://mydomain.com/iphone_advanced_search_result.php?keywords=test
My Desired URL
http://mydomain.com/search/test
My HTACCESS Code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^keywords=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^iphone_advanced_search_result\.php$ search/%1? [R=301,L]`
Why am I getting this error? Please Help!
You're matching on a URL that resembles '/iphone_advanced_search_result.php', but your actual URL doesn't contain the '.php', so it doesn't match.
Remove the '.php' check from your rule and it should work fine.
If your desired url to be used by the user is
http://mydomain.com/search/test
and your processing script is
http://mydomain.com/iphone_advanced_search_result.php?keywords=test
Your rewrite should be the other way round like below:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^search/(.+)$ iphone_advanced_search_result.php?keywords=$1 [L]
