If I a user comes to the site
http://subdomain.example.com/faq/index.html
how to I pass it to the server as
http://subdomain.example.com?q=subdomain.com/faq/index.html?
The key is that I want the url to still look like the first URL, so I wouldn't want to redirect it.
I am also using php but I don't think I can accomplish this with it.
Assuming that the second ? is really just the question mark from the original question, you can capture the query string components like this:
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([A-Z0-9-]+)\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /?q=%1.com/$1 [L]

I'm try to make one trick for my webpage but I don't have any idea to make it that.
if my url is
mydomain.com/eu/en/home/11-item-item.html.
I want to add this ?SubmitCurrency=anything&id_currency=1 in last of that url.
But just only for one time adding this and not showing users is this possible?
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(eu/en/home/11-item-item\.html)$ $1?SubmitCurrency=anything&id_currency=1 [L]
I am currently in the final stages of redeveloping a website however having some trouble redirecting the old blog links to the new format.
We have inbound links to the old blog in the form of:
Index Page
http://www.domain_name.co.uk/blog-page/
Needs to become
http://www.domain_name.co.uk/news/
This is easy enough and has been done by using
RewriteRule ^blog-page$ /news/ [R=301,L]
Profile page
http://www.domain_name.co.uk/blog-page/index.php?/archives/1541-title-of-the-blog.html
The above needs to link to
http://www.domain_name.co.uk/news/1541-title-of-the-blog
However the '?' in the middle of the URL structure appears to break my rewriterule. I have read online about QUERYSTRING however I do not believe this solves my issue as there are no actual parameters passed through in the URL
The below code works but passes through the '/?/archives/' info also.
RewriteRule ^blog-page/index.php(.*)$ /news/$1 [R=301,L]
Any help would be massively appreciated. There are several other sections of the previous site build which for some reason use the same URL structure.
You will need an additional rule for matching query string. Have your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^/archives/(.+?)\.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^blog-page/index\.php$ /news/%1? [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^blog-page$ /news/ [R=301,L,NC]
Trying to make the url:
www.google.com/forum.php?fid=5
Redirect to:
www.google.com/new.php?fid=5
But also need it to keep everything else intact because for example the link can be:
www.google.com/forum.php?fid=5&sortby=asc
And need sortby portion to be there upon redirect.
What the redirect needs to do is look for forumdisplay.php and fid=6 and when both are found in the same url it redirects to blog.php and removes fid=6 but keeps any other parameters there.
I searched and found how to do it with one string but not two.
Also, what's the difference between redirect and rewrite?
This is related to MyBB forum software. I made a separate php file that uses forumdisplay but with a new name.
Using mod_rewrite you could use a condition to verify the id and grab what comes after if anything:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/forumdisplay.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^fid=6(&.*|.*)
RewriteRule ^.*$ /blog.php?%1 [R=301,L]
i am using
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://mywebsite.com/
RewriteRule (.*) http://mywebsite.com//$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ profile.php?user=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ profile.php?user=$1
it's working , but here my problem is i want my group with vanity url.
right now my user get vanity url like this website[dot]com/username.
But i want my group also with vanity url like website[dot]com/groupname.
can any on help in this?
That would require you to differentiate within htaccess what is a user and what is a group. I don't think that this is an option in your case since (I guess) your user and group names will be dynamic and stored in some kind of DB.
Thus, you'll have to solve the problem in PHP. You could do some rule like this:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ userOrGroup.php?parameter=$1
and then, userOrGroup.php redirects to either profile.php or groupProfile.php (or whatever your group pages are called), depending on whether the parameter is a user name or a group name.
I have a few messy old URLs like...
http://www.example.com/bunch.of/unneeded/crap?opendocument&part=1
http://www.example.com/bunch.of/unneeded/crap?opendocument&part=2
...that I want to redirect to the newer, cleaner form...
http://www.example.com/page.php/welcome
http://www.example.com/page.php/prices
I understand I can redirect one page to another with a simple redirect i.e.
Redirect 301 /bunch.of/unneeded/crap http://www.example.com/page.php
But the source page doesn't change, only it's GET vars. I can't figure out how to base the redirect on the value of these GET variables. Can anybody help pls!? I'm fairly handy with the old regexes so I can have a pop at using mod-rewrite if I have to but I'm not clear on the syntax for rewriting GET vars and I'd prefer to avoid the performance hit and use the cleaner Redirect directive. Is there a way? and if not can anyone clue me in as to the right mod-rewrite syntax pls?
Cheers,
Roger.
As the parameters in the URL query may have an arbitrary order, you need to use a either one RewriteCond directive for every parameter to check or for every possible permutiation.
Here’s an example with a RewriteCond directive for each parameter:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([^&]&)*opendocument(&|$)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([^&]&)*part=1(&|$)
RewriteRule ^bunch\.of/unneeded/crap$ /page.php/welcome? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([^&]&)*opendocument(&|$)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([^&]&)*part=2(&|$)
RewriteRule ^bunch\.of/unneeded/crap$ /page.php/prices? [L,R=301]
But as you can see, this may get a mess.
So a better approach might be to use a RewriteMap. The easiest would be a plain text file with key and value pairs:
1 welcome
2 prices
To define your map, write the following directive in your server or virual host configuration (this directive is not allowed in per-directory context):
RewriteMap examplemap txt:/path/to/file/map.txt
Then you would just need one rule:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([^&]&)*opendocument(&|$)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([^&]&)*part=([0-9]+)(&|$)
RewriteRule ^bunch\.of/unneeded/crap$ /page.php/%{examplemap:%2}? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} option=com_content&task=view&id=70&Itemid=82
RewriteRule ^index.php http://www.example.com/business/banks/? [R=301,L]
The ? will prevent the url the user is sent to from having the same query string as the origin page.
In summary, you could use RedirectMatch with a regex that will match the full URL, including query string. That will let you rearrange parts of the URL, but if you have to do conversions like "opendocument&part=1" to "welcome" (where the new URL is completely different from the original one), you might need a RewriteMap - or perhaps better, just send all URLs to page.php and parse the query string in PHP.
EDIT: If it's just a few URLs you want to redirect, you could probably write out individual rules like
RedirectPermanent http://www.example.com/bunch.of/unneeded/crap?opendocument&part=1 http://www.example.com/page.php/welcome
RedirectPermanent http://www.example.com/bunch.of/unneeded/crap?opendocument&part=2 http://www.example.com/page.php/prices
