Restrict link with htaccess file - .htaccess

I need to restrict access to any link that contains the word user.
My rewrite rule looks like this
RewriteRule (^|/)user(/|$) - [F,L]
It works fine when http://sitename.com/user is used but does not work for http://sitename.com/?q=user
Can anyone suggest a fix for this ?
Thanks in advance

You'll have to check the request uri and the query string separately like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^123\.456\.789\.123$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/user$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q=user$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [R=302,L]

htaccess deny access to URIs via regular expression

I want to deny access to all my posts/pages via their database id address e.g. /?p=1 , /?p=2 , ... etc
I am looking at doing this using .htaccess and would guess it would be best done with a RewriteCond rule. I have tried this but it doesn't appear to work.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/?p=*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]
Any help greatly appreciated
With your shown samples, please try following.
Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=[0-9]+ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [F,L]
As per OP's comments to match p or page with = digits try following then.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(p|page)=[0-9]+ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [F,L]

PHP RewriteRule detect if url contain "string" and replace

This may be a basic question regarding RewriteRule but I just counldn't make it work.
What I want to do is detect urls like:
mydomain/myapp/id/some/random/url.html?param=somethingThatIdoUse
mydomain/myapp/id/other/randomabc/perrito.php?param=somethingThatIdoUse
...
The part that I need to discart is from the /id/[all this]?param=somethingIdoUse and use the param if is possible or send the complete url as param so I can regex to get the param.
And have a rule that detect that /id/ exist and redirect to something like:
mydomain/myapp/other/manageRequest.php?params=somethingThatIdoUse
(the params I could get the whole url and strip it as string is no problem)
As well the application have different modules like:
mydomain/myapp/moduleOne/index.php
mydomain/myapp/moduleTwo/index.php
This have to keep working the same.
As far I've tried some of them like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET /.*;.* HTTP/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteRule .* http://localhostdev/app/index.php %{REQUEST_URI}? [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /spt/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^id$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/campaings/response\.php$
RewriteRule ^/something/(.*) /other/manageRequest.php? [L]
But nothing seamed to do kind of what I needed.
Thanks in advice
mydomain/myapp/id/some/random/url.html?param=somethingThatIdoUse
Here is an example using the above URL:
RewriteRule ^id/some/random/url.html/? /myapp/other/manageRequest.php [L,NC]
The query will be passed through unchanged to the substitution URL
well actually end up being really basic it worked with:
RewriteRule ^.*id.*$ handleRequest.php [NC,L]
I do get the params as they are sent!

.htaccess remove specific get parameter from url

Hello I have been searching the web for an answer to this but I can not find it. I am looking to use htaccess to strip a specific parameter from the url.
For example, I have the following urls:
www.mysite.com/product.php?product_id=123&session=sdfs98d7fs9f8d7
www.mysite.com/anotherurl.php?session=12312341341&someotherparam=123
I would need them to 301 redirect to:
www.mysite.com/product.php?product_id=123
www.mysite.com/anotherurl.php?someotherparam=123
Note the urls above are just examples. Ill need the session param removed from any and all urls no matter how many params are part of the url or where session is located.
I think I need a way to the url string up to session=blah and the url string after session=blah, then combine both parts and redirect to the new url.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
UPDATED
In short, what you want is just to remove the key-value pair session=xx from the query.
Here is an option:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*)?&?session=[^&]+&?(.*)? [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /(.*)
RewriteRule .* %3?%1%2? [R=301,L]
I found a solution on another site
# case: leading and trailing parameters
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)&session=[0-9a-z]+&(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /$1?%1&%2 [R=301,L]
# case: leading-only, trailing-only or no additional parameters
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)&session=[0-9a-z]+$|^osCsid=[0-9a-z]+&?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /$1?%1 [R=301,L]
not tested, but should work:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} product_id=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule .* product.php?product_id=%1

.htaccess protect urls with query string combinations

I need to protect a "single logical" url in a Joomla CMS with htaccess. I found here .htaccess code to protect a single URL?
this solution, which works great for a specific url:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^option=com_content&task=view&id=76$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /secure.htm
However, how can I make sure that the url parts can't be swapped around or amended, therefore circumventing the secure access. For example I don't want to allow access to
option=com_content&task=view&id=76&dummy=1
option=com_content&id=76&task=view
either.
I have tried this, which doesn't seem to work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} option=com_content
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} task=view
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=76
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /secure.htm
Your rules work fine for me when I go to any of these URLs:
http://localhost/index.php?blah=blah&option=com_content&task=view&id=76
http://localhost/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=76&dummy=1
http://localhost/index.php?option=com_content&id=76&task=view
I get served the content at /secure.htm
However, you could add sound boundaries to your query string rules:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)option=com_content(&|$)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)task=view(&|$)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)id=76(&|$)
So that you don't end up matching something like id=761

Help with .htaccess RewriteRule. Need to take user from one URL to other

I want users who type
http://www.example.com/word-of-the-day
to be taken to
http://www.example.com/index.php?page=word-of-the-day
But I want
http://www.example.com/word-of-the-day
to be shown in the URL for the user.
What should I do in my .htaccess? I tried but the regular expression
and the syntax of RewriteRule is way too complicated for me to
figure out how to do it.
Any help will be appreciated.
Edit:
Also, how can I say this in htaccess -
if they type http://www.example.com/word-of-the-day, take them to http://www.example.com/index.php?page=word-of-the-day
or if they type http://www.example.com/something-else, take them to http://www.example.com/index.php?page=something-else
or else, just take them to the URL they typed.
The condition below checks that index.php is not being requested. If not apply the rule. This will work for any of the scenarios you listed above.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^!.*[index\.php].*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
In response to your comment about only wanting to do this for a few specific pages, it would look like this(as an alternative to Nils edit):
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^!.*[index\.php].*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^word-of-the-day$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^something-else$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^even-something-else$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
Try this
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^word-of-the-day$ index.php?page=word-of-the-day
Or more flexible
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1
Not tested, yet it sould work.
To your edit:
Just define those specific URLs manually:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^word-of-the-day$ index.php?page=word-of-the-day
RewriteRule ^word-some-example$ index.php?page=some-example
RewriteRule ^some-other$ index.php?page=some-other
