How can modrewrite be done in this above situation:
Lets say the website us is: www.real-estate.com
Then we have the first mod rewrite:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-]+) cities.php?city_url=$1
So this will rewrite to something similar: www.real-estate.com/florida and it will list all the real estates in florida.
Then we add this rule:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-]+)/(.*)+$ details.php?project=$2
This will rewrite to www.real-estates/florida/project-one and it will display details from that project.
But if I access the link for the city like this: www.real-estae.com/florida/ (with slash last) it will jump me to the second mod rewrite rule, taking me to details.php with an empty variable.
What is the correct solution to slove this problem, so that if the users adds a slash after the city it will still display the projects in that city and not the details page with empty var ?
After playing around I found that his works, but I do not know if it is the correct solution:
I replaced this:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-]+)/+(.*)$ details.php?project=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-]+) cities.php?city_url=$1
With this:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-]+)/([a-zA-Z\-]+) details.php?project=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-]+) cities.php?city_url=$1
So I have replaced (.*)$ Why does this work and the other way not I do not know.. Maybe someone can explain.
Probably it fixed the immediate problem but your rules might still match more than required due to faulty regex used and not using anchor $.
For your case use these rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^[a-zA-Z-]+/([a-zA-Z-]+)/?$ details.php?project=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z-]+)/? cities.php?city_url=$1 [L,QSA]

Is it possible to edit htacces in such a way that only the following url is rewritten and the rest isn't?
http://www.example.com/index.php?x=foobar
to
http://www.example.com/foobar/
I want the pages not having x=... as a variable to behave normally
I got the following but that doesn't work
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*)/ index.php?x=$1
RewriteCond $1 !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|html|swf|mp3|wav|txt)$
Who can help me?
First off, the RewriteCond must be put before the RewriteRule to which it belongs.
But I think that you need another approach for your case, something like this:
RewriteRule (.*)\.php - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?x=$1
The first rule Passes Through (PT) every PHP page, so the second rule is only applied to all non-PHP requests.
That second rule only applies to a "simple path", no matter if this path has a dot in it or not (e.g. hello.gif/ will match, too).
If this does not work for you, then you might consider one of these points to start further research:
the pattern ([^\.]*) matches everything that does not have a dot in it
see RewriteCond to skip rule if file or directory exists for RewriteConds where the following RewriteRule is only used if the request does not point to an existing file or directory
Hope this helps.
I know questions similar to this are common. I just don't even know where to begin with rewrite rules with the /'s and .'s I don't know how to retrofit other peoples solutions to mine. Onto my situation:
I am using a basic get on the index.php file that looks like
http://www.example.com/index.php?page=about
I want to rewrite that to
http://www.example.com/about
I know this is fairly simple rewrite wise, but its just a totally different language which I have tried and failed to comprehend. Thanks
Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
Or even:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(?!index.php\b).* index.php?page=$0 [L,QSA]
Note:
You should always set the RewriteBase in an .htaccess file.
I've generalised this so that index.php picks up any string which isn't mapping to a real file
The (?!index.php\b) is a regexp which says "but don't match to index.php"
You will need the [QSA] flag if your requests can contain request parameters. This merges them.
I have the following code in the my .htaccess file and the top Rewrite works fine the bottem one does not I know why but I dont kno how to fix it.
Its seeing RewriteRule ^([^/]*).html index.php?p=order&course_id=$1 [L] as the top rewrite command becuase of the hightlighed part and i dont want to put it in a dir
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+).html
index.php?p=$1 [L]
index.php?p=about_us
RewriteRule ^([^/]+).html
index.php?p=order&course_id=$1 [L]
index.php?p=order&course_id=5
Thank you,
Can you give example urls that should match the pattern block and what you would like them to be rewritten to? That would be very helpful.
One thing I notice is that your first regexp you test if you match the pattern block with a + which means 1 or more times and the second one you check it with a * which means 0 or more so I don't think the second one will ever be called, although I am very new to regexps but it is just something I noticed.
These are very helpful resources for me:
http://www.webforgers.net/mod-rewrite/mod-rewrite-syntax.php
http://forum.modrewrite.com/
From the example of the urls you would be using, this should work:
# http://website.com/about_us/ rewrites to /index.php?p=about_us
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-z_-]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1 [NC,L]
# http://website.com/order/12/ rewrites to /index.php?p=order&course_id=12
RewriteRule ^order/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?p=order&course_id=$1 [NC,L]
The second Rewrite might be:
# http://website.com/order/12/ rewrites to /index.php?p=order&course_id=12
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-z_-]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&course_id=$2 [NC,L]
Depending on your page structure.
hey there, i have quite some issues with the mode rewrite here is what i use :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /creatii.php?creatie_thumb=$2&user=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ /creatiiuser.php?user=$1
i would like this link :
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/creatii.php?creatie_thumb=creatie19&user=dee-dee
to look:
like http://creatii.artcrew.ro/dee-dee/creatie19
well this is fine, it works, no problems with it but i want to make a rule for another link
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/categorii.php?numecat=poetry&numesubcat=satire
to look like
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/poetry/satire
how can i do this? what rules must i use?
currently if i access http://creatii.artcrew.ro/poetry/satire
it access the link : http://creatii.artcrew.ro/creatii.php?creatie_thumb=satire&user=poetry
how can i make both links(the first one and the second one) work?
one more thing, i want this link : http://creatii.artcrew.ro/creatiiuser.php?user=Dan to look like http://creatii.artcrew.ro/Dan or if that does not work http://creatii.artcrew.ro/user/Dan
how can i do that?
can anyone help me?
thanks in advance
Given the URL http://creatii.artcrew.ro/X/Y, how is mod_rewrite supposed to know whether X and Y are creatie_thumb and user values or numecat and numesubcat values?
You need to add something to the URL to differentiate these cases.
For example:
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/user/dee-dee
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/user/dee-dee/creatie19
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/cat/poetry/satire
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^user/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /creatii.php?creatie_thumb=$2&user=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^user/([^/]*)/$ /creatiiuser.php?user=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^cat/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /creatii.php?numecat=$1&numesubcat=$2 [L]
Maybe you're too much generic with your rules and you got conflicts.
Try to map this urls
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/creatii/dee-dee/creatie1
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/categorii/poetry/satire
Starting from those sample you can easily map your urls with no conflict on rules
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^creaati/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /creatii.php?creatie_thumb=$2&user=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^categorii/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /categorii.php?numecat=$1&numesubcat=$2 [L]
Do some tries :D
I would like to know how to allow periods at the end on my url's. Currently if I had the url:
http://www.mydomain.com/Page/I.D.K.
The page grabbing the information would return
Title: I.D.K (Without the ending period)
This also happens with other punctuation and it is effecting my pages displaying information wrongly. Thanks for looking, hope somebody knows the solution.
I am using the following in my htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ /index.php?Page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?Page=$1&Level1=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?Page=$1&Level1=$2&Level2=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?Page=$1&Level1=$2&Level2=$3&Level3=$4 [L]
Ok problem virtually solved. The & still breaks my strings if I try doing Artist1 & Artist2 but I will just use string replace to replace that symbol with something else. Anyway, to allow punctuation anywhere, even at the end, I replaced all + with * in my rewrite rules. Here is how it looks now:
RewriteRule ^([^/.]*)/?$ /index.php?Page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]*)/([^/]*)/?$ /index.php?Page=$1&Level1=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ /index.php?Page=$1&Level1=$2&Level2=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ /index.php?Page=$1&Level1=$2&Level2=$3&Level3=$4 [L]
Hope this helps some other people with similar problems.
I'm assuming this is located in http://www.mydomain.com/. Here's what I'd use for the second Rule (which can then be transposed to the other rules):
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9\-,]+)/([A-Za-z0-9.\-,]+)/?$ /index.php?Page=$1&Level1=$2 [L]
That will match the following: (and will allow for hyphens, commas, and periods for Level1)
IDK/Jump.ing.
IDK/Jump.ing./
But not:
S$!LV/J
I try and whitelist my options (something like /[A-Z]/), rather than blacklist them (/[^3-5]/). I'm sure there are arguments for both options, but I like whitelisting mostly because I have control over what can be used. If I don't include it in my list, it's not a valid option. Of course, if you're accepting a LOT of options, then this could make for some very long character classes or whatnot. What if someone went to http://www.mydomain.com/Page/I.D.K.&somevariable=somevalue ? It could potentially break your script (if the person is smart). Your RewriteRule would send them to /index.php?Page=Page&Level1=I.D.K.&somevariable=somevalue. Not at all what you anticipated happening.
