i have script in index.php in ALL folders
need to make pretty url/seo friendly urls like this: site.com/folder1/something.html
now i have ugly urls like this: site.com/folder1/index.php?category=something
this part index.php?category=something is always the same in all subfolders, i just want to change it to more seo friendly like something.html
once again: find index.php?category=1$ and replace it with 1$.html
do not touch anything else, just this part of url
so when i visit:
site.com/another-subfolder/and-one-more-folder-here/index.php?category=something
need to see this in address bar:
site.com/another-subfolder/and-one-more-folder-here/something.html
i hope you get it?
i tried this with folder1 in htaccess in root
RewriteRule ^folder1/(.*).html$ folder1/index.php?category=$1 [L,R=301]
ok this works, but how can i make this to work for all subfolders accross the site like this:
site.com/folder145/index.php?category=something
site.com/subfolder/index.php?category=something
site.com/another-subfolder/and-one-more-folder-here/index.php?category=something
there will be 1000s of subfolders with different names so manually making RewriteRule for each subfolder won't work
any help is appreciated
First, you need to change all the links that you generate from the index.php?category= form to the category.html form.
Then in the htaccess file in your document root, you add these rules to internally rewrite the category.html form back to the index.php?category= form:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+?/)?([^/]+)\.html$ /$1index.php?category=$2 [L]
Then, to point links you don't have any control over (or ones generated using a FORM) externally redirect any direct access to links in the index.php?category= form:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD)\ (/.*?)?/index\.php\?category=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^(.+?/)?index\.php$ /$1%3.html? [L,R=301]
This should match any and every subdirectory.

I am making a website builder an I would like to make urls prettier.
The url would be for example:
https://ccc-bb.example.com => https://example.com/project/show/ccc/bb
This is my .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# prevents files starting with dot to be viewed by browser
RewriteRule /\.|^\.(?!well-known/) - [F]
# front controller
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\-(.*)$ https://example.com/project/show/$1/$2 [L]
When I use above (https://ccc-bb.example.com) it sends me to the subdomain empty folder. The folder has only the .htaccess file.
What am I missing? I've never edited an .htaccess file and Google didn't help me (or I don't know what should I looking for).
Your first rule for dotfiles is okay but would be better the other way around, since the second part can only match the start, but the first can only match in subdirectories.
RewriteRule ^\.(?!well-known/)|/\. - [F]
Your other rule's problem is that you are expecting it to match the subdomain. RewriteRules do not operate on the entire string you see in your browser's address bar, only the path part, and in .htaccess they see even less as the leading directory is stripped off, too. To access the info you want, use a RewriteCond:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^-]++)-([^-.]++)\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(?!project/show/).* project/show/%1/%2/$0 [L,DPI]
(You don't need to include \.example\.com$ if your main domain contains no hyphens.)
After doing a quick lookup on how to manage sites with multiple language support, I find site.com/language/page/ the neatest url layout. (as I don't have the funds for site.language)
I have used htaccess to redirect the base site from site.com to site.com/language/
by using: RedirectMatch ^/$ /language/ where 'language' is language.html
But since I have a directory called /language/ so that all other pages in the given language can be put inside it, the site just shows up as the index of the directory.
How can I accomplish that kind of layout, if I want the main index page to show up in the url as site.com/language/ ?
Current htaccess that worked fine until I added the directory:
## Rewrite Defaults
RewriteEngine On
## Remove file extension + force trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*)/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule (.*)/$ $1.html [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule .* %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/ [R=301,L]
## Redirect to /en-gb
RedirectMatch ^/$ /en-gb/
With the root folder looking like:
/language
stuff.html
morestuff.html
language.html
...
I would really appreciate help as this is currently a nightmare situation. When I try compiling the htaccess with answers to similar questions, everyone has just parts of what I am looking to achieve and thus I break the layout with every modification...
Is it possible to change the back-end filenames and accomplish this layout using only htaccess for front-end url rewriting since the url bar is the only thing that matters?
If I understand correctly, you should be able to solve this by removing the line:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
Let me know if that works.
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
I've got the previous code that rewrites ex: domain.com/about to domain.com/index.php?page=about
So now, I want to add a measure of safety to that just in case someone adds .html or .php to the end thinking it should be there, I want it to remove the extension, but still follow my previous rule. I want this change to ignore if the file actually exists. If the file exists, it needs to still process the ending.
ex:
if someone types in about.php or about.html, I want it to remove the extension, and then process whats left to the rewrite rule above.
So about.php will rewrite to about and then rewrite to index.php?page=about
If at all possible, I'd like for it to actually change the URL to domain.com/about. Right now, the above rewrite leaves the domain.com/about but just processes it through index.php. I would love it if they enter about.php or about.html it would redirect the browser to domain.com/about .
Any way possible to achieve this? I've looked around at removing file extension with htaccess, but none of them do what I want with redirecting to index.php?page=. They all want to redirect differently.
EDIT
I need this to be universal. It can't just process 'about', I need it to process anything in that specific spot.
If this is not a directory or a file, and it has an extension, then redirect without extension:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)\..*$ $1 [R=301,L]
I'm rerwiting a URL to point to a different URL under the hood. But it seems like all the other files in different directories referenced by index.php (e.g. css files, JS files, etc) do not get redirected. How can I accomplish this?
I have
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/test($|/)
RewriteRule .*$ ../index.php?orgid=4 [L]
I found the answer is
RewriteRule ^(test)(.*)/?$ index.php?orgid=4 [L]
In the browser, this will show as example.com/test, while under the hood the url is actually example.com/index.php?orgid=4
<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)
