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 know this is very common question but I can't seem find any solution regarding in my problem. The folder structure looks like this:
- rootProject
- subfolder
* .htaccess
* index.php
Normal url params: http://website.com/subfolder/?dynamicKey=dynamicValue.
But What I want to achieve is like this: http://website.com/subfolder/dynamicKey/dynamicValue
But I failed to do that, I can only retrieve the dynamicKey.
Here is my current htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/?$ index.php?$1 [NC,QSA,L]
Thanks to #Ar Rakin. Here is the solution.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/?$ index.php?$1 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)/?$ index.php?$1=$2 [NC,QSA,L]
With your shown samples and attempted code, please try following htaccess rules. We need to add conditional checks before rewrite rules else later it will affect your existing pages also.
Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine On
##Added conditions if non-existing pages requested then only perform rewrite.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/?$ index.php?$1 [NC,QSA,L]
##Added conditions if non-existing pages requested then only perform rewrite.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)/?$ index.php?$1=$2 [NC,QSA,L]
NOTE: your used regex [a-z] will only match small letters in uri, in case it needed to check any alphabets(capital OR small) then change FROM [a-z] TO [a-zA-Z] in above rules also.
I have the following URL
https://example.com/expert-profile?id=john-doe&locale=en
I want it to be redirected to
https://example.com/expert/john-doe
I tried the following
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(([^&]*&)*)id=([^&]+)&?(.*)?$
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 have theses URLs
http://www.website.com/?goto=plaforms
http://www.website.com/?goto=offers&platform=dates
http://www.website.com/?goto=profile&member=1
http://www.website.com/?goto=product&offer=2
I want to change them using .htaccess to be like this:
http://www.website.com/plaforms
http://www.website.com/offers/dates
http://www.website.com/profile/1
http://www.website.com/product/2
I've tried this but not working
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?goto=$1
Honestly I have no clue how to do it.
UPDATE:
I have an index.php in which I call all pages
index.php
$page = $_GET['goto'];
$url = $page.'.php';
if(file_exists($url)):
include($url);
else:
header('location:'?goto=home');
endif;
The 1st param ?goto= calls for pages and the second param call data from database
You could write rewrite rules like these:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#The rules
RewriteRule ^([^\/]+)?$ /?goto=$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^offers\/dates$ /?goto=offers&platform=dates [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^profile\/(\d+)$ /?goto=profile&member=$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^product\/(\d+)$ /?goto=product&offer=$1 [R=301,L]
The problem is some of the parameter values can not be derived from your fancy URLs. Therefore, you have to spell them out fully (like /offers/dates) or partially like /profile/x and /product/x). The only really generic rule is the first one that rewrites anything /xxx to goto=xxx. So, depending on y our URL space you may have to write a lot of rules.
I want to remove %20 on my link to - (dash),
My .htaccess is like that right now,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ icerik.php?name=$1 [QSA,L]
For example,
site.com/vision-and-mision,
site.com/do-re-mi-fa-so-la-si.
Actually I searched something but the informations were very specific and I'm confused
Thank you.
You can use the following in your /.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
# Replace whitespace with hyphens, set the environment variable,
# and restart the rewriting process. This essentially loops
# until all whitespace has been converted.
RewriteRule ^([^\s]*)\s(.*)$ $1-$2 [E=whitespace:yes,N]
# Then, once that is done, check if the whitespace variable has
# been set and, if so, redirect to the new URI. This process ensures
# that the URI is rewritten in a loop *internally* so as to avoid
# multiple browser redirects.
RewriteCond %{ENV:whitespace} yes
RewriteRule (.*) /$1 [R=302,L]
Then add your rules afterwards:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /icerik.php?name=$1 [QSA,L]
If this is working for you, and you would like to make the redirects cached by browsers and search engines, change 302 to 301.
I have an .htaccess file redirecting blog post urls like /blog/2012/11/30/this-post to /blog/post.php?id=this-post. Works fine until I apply a second rule below it that is also a match. This rule is set to take a path formatted url like /this/is/a/pageid and redirect to /page.php?id=pageid. It doesn't care how long the path is, it just uses the last directory in the path as the id. Unfortunately, this rule matches everything and I'm not sure how to stop the redirect after the first match. Here is my .htacess
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^blog/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ /blog/post.php?id=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ([^/]+)/?$ /page.php?id=$1 [L]
Thanks in advance for the help.
You can add an optional query parameter after you redirect the first time and combine that with a simple rewrite condition on the query string to check if that parameter exists or no, try this :
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^blog/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ /blog/post.php?id=$4 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^(.*&)?r=0(&.*)?$
RewriteRule ([^/]+)/?$ /page.php?id=$1&r=0 [L]
