I've been trying to set up a rewrite rule in our htaccess. We have a search component that directs to the URL:
http://www.domain.co.uk/component/search?searchword=word&searchphrase=all&start=10
We'd like to show it as:
http://www.domain.co.uk/search/word/10
I've been trying this with no avail so far, this is what I have.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /component/search/?searchword=$1&searchphrase=all&start=$2 [L]
Is there something missing? Could other rules be interfering with it?
At least you should escape the slashes and the question mark
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /component\/search\/\?searchword=$1\&searchphrase=all\&start=$2$ [L]
And you should not put ampersands (&) in your query string - use %26 or & instead...
You generate your link in the first place as
http://www.domain.co.uk/search/word/10
and use .htaccess such as
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? /component/search/search.php?searchword=$1&searchphrase=all&start=$2 [L]
to rewrite it to the dynamic form your search.php script can handle. Your attempt basically looks OK (except that you need search.php, not search), so you might want to check if "mod rewrite" is enabled on your server. You might have to wrap the above code in
<IfModule "mod_rewrite.c">
RewriteEngine...
</IfModule>
Consult with your hosting service.

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.
i need some help rewriting URL using .htaccess my urls looks like:
http://www.example.com/testro2/product.php?id=426834&productStore=396
And i need have it work with text into it, example:
http://www.example.com/testro2/product/{anythinghere}/id=4268334&productStore=369
or you can make it look more clear like removing id= and &productStore= will be great, else i can use with them. example
http://www.example.com/testro2/product/{anythinghere}/4268334/396
The thing is that i need to have my keyword anythinghere in the URL.
Also, i would like to rewrite
http://www.example.com/testro2/search.php?q=shoes
TO
http://www.example.com/testro2/search/shoes
You can put this code in your /testro2/.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /testro2/
RewriteRule ^product/.+/(\d+)/(\d+)$ product.php?id=$1&productStore=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^search/(.+)$ search.php?q=$1 [L]
How to rewrite this url "www.domain.com/index.php?route=custom/static/page" to "www.domain.com/page" in htaccess file, basically just want to take out index.php?route=custom/static/ from urls.
I don't know regex so I tried http://www.generateit.net/mod-rewrite/, but it only generates
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /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
Basically, I've been trying to make some friendly URL's via .htaccess using mod_rewrite - and I've managed to get it to work... but only with basic stuff like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^profile.php http://www.google.co.uk [L]
So mod_rewrite works, and I can re-direct to other sites, other files/directories in my server, etc. - but it seems to not work when I use this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^profile.php?user=$1 ^profile/user/([^/]*)/$ [L]
Any help on this would be great, as I pretty much suck at mod_rewrite, but it's something I need to learn.
Cheers!
Change your [L] to [R,L] to force an actual HTTP redirect. Otherwise it just does the rewriting internally (when possible), which only affects the mapping from the URI to the filesystem. (See the description of the [R] flag at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriteflags.)
Wrong.
## rewriting from to
RewriteRule ^profile.php?user=$1 ^profile/user/([^/]*)/$ [L]
Should be
## rewriting from to
RewriteRule ^profile/user/([^/]+)$ profile.php?user=$1 [L]
Your configuration currently is this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^profile.php?user=$1 ^profile/user/([^/]*)/$ [L]
In the RewriteRule you swapped the from and to parameters.
Assuming that on your server there is a directory structure like this:
/var/www/htdocs/profile/user/albert
/var/www/htdocs/profile/user/bob
Then you can use the following rule:
RewriteCond ${QUERY_STRING} ^user=(\w+)$
RewriteRule ^profile\.php$ profile/user/%1 [L]
There are some points that you got wrong here:
The request to "/profile.php?user=bob" first gets split into the Request URI and the Query String. Only the Request URI will be used by mod_rewrite. Therefore you have to handle the query string separately.
I restricted the user name to only [A-Za-z0-9_]. If I had allowed all characters, an attacker could easily call /profile.php?user=../../config.php, which would be rewritten to profile/user/../../config.php, and you probably don't want to share that file with the world.
The arguments to the RewriteRule directive are completely different regarding their syntax.
The first argument (the from part) is a regular expression, which usually starts with a caret ^ and ends with a dollar $.
The second argument (the to part) is the replacement, which is almost only a simple string, with only some special features. This string usually doesn't start with a caret, but looks rather like a pathname.
So I have photographs.php, and there are also sections where it will be rewritten as photographs.php?cat=somecategory
Question is, in .htaccess how do I get these both to work as such
/photographs
and
/photographs/somecategory
so that the $_GET['cat'] variable will be = somecategory
/photographs/(.+) will need to redirect to photographs.php?cat=$1, while /photographs/? will just redirect to photographs.php. if you want to be clever, you can combine it and do it in one line and /photograph will just go to photographs.php?cat=[blank].
First of all you must have the mod_rewrite module activated.
Here's what you need to add to your .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^photographs$ photographs.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^photographs/(.*)$ photographs.php?cat=$1 [NC]
Just some simple replace rules. You can find lots of info on the web about them.
