My present url structure :
domain.com/items/view/5
domain.com/user/view/5
domain.com/user/edit/5
Now i don't want users to directly know the 'id' in the url, as they can directly fire a query from the address bar.
Hence i want to mask the url to :
domain.com
i.e. domain.com/anything will come as it is but the url will not change.
Thanks in advance.
Also note that i have already made .htaccess file with following code to remove 'index.php' from the url and that is working perfect.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Can't be done. The only way to hide the id is to pass it outside the url - i.e. as POST data; but .htaccess doesn't have access to that, only the url.
Your code should instead handle the fact that users could enter the url directly and either act correctly or use a http-redirect header to send the user back to the main page.

I am trying to include in my .htaccess file a condition to rewrite requests to a REST endpoint that will no longer exist after I perform some updates to the location of the new endpoint. The existing request looks something like this:
https://www.example.com/applications/interface/?info&key=xxx&indentifier=xxx
I would like the new request to be similar structure, just in a different location, in the community folder:
https://www.example.com/community/applications/interface/?info&key=xxx&indentifier=xxx
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My existing .htaccess looks like below:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule \.(js|css|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|ico|map)(\?|$) /404error.php [L,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Is there a reason why you can't just redirect the old request to the new one? Does the URI need to be internally rewritten?
If a redirect is good enough, you can do something like this (note that I'm using mod_rewrite and not mod_alias' Redirect directive, this is because they both end up getting applied to the same request and may conflict with your existing routing rule)
RewriteRule ^applications/interface/$ /community/applications/interface/ [L,R]
And you'd want that right under RewriteBase. This will take requests that look like /applications/interface/ and redirect them to /community/applications/interface/ with all of the query string parameters intact. The regex will only match that URI specifically, with the trailing / and as well.
If you need to do some sort of internal rewrite, I'd suggest doing this within your framework instead of trying to use mod_rewrite in the htaccess file. You've got it setup so every request is routed to index.php and it's up to that code to figure out what needs to go where.
I am trying to show different url and redirect users to specific url with .htcaccess when they click on a blog post but to no avail.
Lets say the url is: http://localhost/mySite/article.php?article_title=test-title
then I would like to show it as http://localhost/mySite/article/test-title
This is my current htcaccess file:
#turn on url rewriting
RewriteEngine on
#remove the need for .php extention
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
#rewrite rule for blog
RewriteRule article/([A-Za-z0-9-]+) /mySite/article.php?article_title=$1
But for some reason it is not redirecting/showing the correct url. I am not getting any errors.
EDIT
Trying to ask my question again and explain it better. Let's say the url is
http://localhost/www.example.com/admin/editUser.php?user_id=126
and I would like to rewrite the url like this:
http://localhost/www.example.com/admin/user/126
then how can I achieve this. I tried using this website to check the modified url but it does not work. Seems like it does not work with any of the accepted answers here in stack at all.
This is my htaccess file atm. It is in the root of www.example.com
#turn on url rewriting
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^user/([0-9]+)/?$ /editUser.php?user_id=$1 [NC,L] # Handle user edit requests
Apache Module mod_rewrite is enabled. Also added an alias. Still no changes in the url. If I try something really basic like this:
# redirect to .php-less link if requested directly
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\s.+\.php\sHTTP/.+
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php $1 [R=301,L]
it works fine.
Why is the users redirect not working? What am I doing wrong.
Try it like this for your rule for article url in mysite directory.
RewriteRule ^article/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ article.php?article_title=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
you need to mention start ^ and end $ of string.
<h1>' . $name. '</h1>
The above is the reference which points to my profile1.php file. This file is called index.php . It currently displays the urls as this:
http://www.domain.com/interact/profile1.php?id=36
I have tried implementing the .htaccess file to rewrite the url. I tried many combinations and most of them gave a 500 error and some did not rewrite the url.
This is the .htaccess file which I use, it does not make the url to change.
I want the url to look like http://www.domain.com/interact/profile/36
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ profile1.php/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
I know this is a very basic question but I seem to stuck in it and have read basic tutorials but am not able to implement it properly.
The files index.php ,profile1.php and .htaccess are in folder named interact.
Tell me any changes required in php or .htaccess files.
It currently displays the urls as this: http://www.domain.com/interact/profile1.php?id=36
...
I want the url to look like http://www.domain.com/interact/profile/36
Step 1:
Change your content to have links like this:
<h1>' . $name. '</h1>
This way, when you click on a link the URL that will appear in the URL address bar is will look like: http://www.domain.com/interact/profile/36
Step 2:
Then you need to use these rules to internally change it back:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /interact/
RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]*) profile1.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
In order to point any external links, like google index bots to the new URLs, you'll need to add these as well:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD)\ /interact/profile1\.php\?id=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^ http://www.domain.com/interact/profile/%2 [L,R=301]
try this
RewriteRule ^interact/profile1.php/(.*)$ interact/profile1.php?id=$1 [L]
i don't know what make QSA modifiers does so i remove it. If you know what, use it)
I need to create a redirect that sends the user to a specified php page with the variable of the page they originally requested, such as:
http://website.com/4
would send them to
http://website.com/download.php?id=4
However I don't want to redirect them if they request an actual page in the root directory, such as website.com/index.php.
Any idea how to accomplish this?
Should be exactly what you asked for; rewrites the URL to include download.php?id= unless the request is for any file that physically exists already:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ download.php?id=$1 [L]
Edit: I added the RewriteEngine On because it may not work without it depending on your server setup. To be fair, mlerley's answer reminded me that it should be there.
Assuming Apache 2.2:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(\d+)$ /download.php?id=$1
The url doesn't change in this case. This also assumes that your id is always a number.
I have the following page: www.domain.com/index.php?route=information/contact and I'd like to rewrite it so that it shows up as: www.domain.com/contact, but there's more...
What's important, is that when someone types in www.domain.com/contact, it redirects them to www.domain.com/index.php?route=information/contact, which in turn, is rewritten as www.domain.com/contact.
I appreciate any help! Thanks.
Edit: To clarify
I want users to be able to enter www.domain.com/contact and be redirected to www.domain.com/index.php?route=information/contact.
However once redirected, I'd like a purely aesthetic rewrite so that www.domain.com/index.php?route=information/contact shows up as www.domain.com/contact (the same as what they typed in.)
Is this possible?
Edit: My .htaccess file currently...

Try these rules in your .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^route=information [NC]
RewriteRule . /warranty? [L,NC,R=301]
RewriteRule ^warranty$ /index.php?route=information/contact [L,NC]
L will make sure that user's URL in browser doesn't change and redirection happens internally.
Your question is extremely unclear, and I suspect that inexperience is to blame.
With the following rule:
RewriteRule /?(.*) index.php?route=information/$1
the location bar will read "/contact" but index.php will be invoked via an internal rewrite.
With a small modification:
RewriteRule /?(.*) index.php?route=information/$1 [R]
the location bar will read "/index.php?route=information/contact" and index.php will be invoked, after the redirect.
As always, the rule should follow the appropriate RewriteCond so as to avoid rewriting if an actual file is requested.
AFAIK, you can't make the address bar show a different address than the one that the page was loaded from. If you want the user to see www.domain.com/contact in the address bar when viewing the page, you need to make the server actually return the page content (not a redirect) when that URL is requested.
I think you might be misunderstanding URL rewriting: it's not for changing what the user sees in the address bar, it's for changing what the server sees when a request arrives from the user. If you create a rewrite rule that changes /foo to /bar, then when the user types /foo in their browser, the server will treat it as a request for /bar.
What you want, I think, is that when the user types www.domain.com/contact in their browser, the server should treat it as a request for www.domain.com/index.php?route=information/contact, but the browser should still show the pretty URL that the user typed. The way to do that is to simply rewrite /contact to /index.php?route=information/contact on the server. No redirect is needed; the user simply requests the pretty URL, and the server handles the request based on the equivalent ugly one and sends back the resulting page.
