I’m a noob in url rewriting and i really need help to figure this out :
I have this url : section/news.php?url=section/news/27-how_to_make_rewrite.html I want to access this news with the url parameter and the link would be : section/news/27-how_to_make_rewrite.html
the .htacess file is in the root, i have a folder named section and inside this folder i have the news folder
This doest work for me.
I have :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /section/
RewriteRule news/^([a-zA-Z0-9-+/]+)/$ news/news.php?url=$1
How I can do it ?
I have not used this with subfolders, but I would try something like this.
RewriteRule ^news/([^/\.]+)/?$ news/news.php?url=section/news/$1 [L]
Edit
Try it this way:
RewriteRule ^section/news/([^/.]+)/?$ news.php?url=section/news/$1 [L]
You normally only want to put what is changing in the variable. section/news/ is always used so you should keep it outside of the replacement.
If the URI you want to rewrite to looks like: section/news.php?url=section/news/27-how_to_make_rewrite.html
then you've got one too many "news" in your target. You also need to fix your regex pattern to match stuff like 27-how_to_make_rewrite.html.
You want something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /section/
RewriteRule news/(.+)/?$ news/news.php?url=section/news/$1

bad url format
I'm trying to make my dynamic URL's into static looking URL's.
This is a typical URL that I now have:
http://www.somedomain.com/design/index.php?p=about
I would like it to be: http://www.somedomain.com/about
So far, I've gotten it to look like this: http://www.somedomain.com/design/about.html
This is the Rewriterule I'm using: RewriteRule ^([a-z]+).html$ index.php?p=$1 [L]
How would I modify it so it would look like this: http://www.somedomain.com/about?
Thanks for any/all help!!!
Very much appreciated!
Using rewrite rules to give 'static' URI is NEVER a good idea.
A few other ideas you can use:
Make the 'about' page a directory (folder) with a file called index.php or index.html in it. This way the URL shows http://example.com/about/ and the information you wish can still be displayed as needed.
Use the POST method instead of GET methods. This will display as http://example.com/about.php (Note: there is no ? or other parameters behind that.)
Utilize both methods to give a 'seamless' URI on page transitions.
Rick, you're on the right track. You need to read the Apache rewrite documentation. For your docroot/.htaccess start it with:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
Then generalised version of your rule:
Rewrite Rule ^(\w+)$ index.php?p=$1 [L]
This will rewrite any requests which are for a word string to index.php. You need to be aware that the rewrite engine rescans the .htaccess file if a match has occured so you need to make sure that you don't create a loop. In this case the replacement string has a "." in it and the pattern doesn't, so this won't occur, but for more complex cases you may need to 'guard' the rules with one or more RewriteCond statements. Again, read the Apache documentation.
I'm developing a multilanguage web app with Yii.
I applied changes to hide the index.php, changed urlFormat to path and added to the url path a slug with the user language example /it/index.php /en/index.php etc...
The problem now is that I need to redirect automatically to a different url once the user chooses another language. For example:
http://localhost/~antonio/project/it/women
needs to redirect to:
http://localhost/~antonio/project/it/femme
I have been playing with htaccess with no luck at all. Here is the actual code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
IndexIgnore */*
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /~antonio/project/
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
#My redirection code (tried a good few more to no use apart from this)
RewriteRule ^it/women$ it/femme
I would really appreciate any help on this issue, as it is driving me mad.
Thanks
Edit::
I surrendered with mod_rewrite. I found another solution by adding this code to /layout/main.php:
<?php
$onurl = Yii::app()->getRequest()->requestUri;
if ($onurl == "/~antonio/project/it/women") {
$this->redirect("/~antonio/project/it/femme");
} elseif ($onurl == "/~antonio/project/it/men") {
$this->redirect("/~antonio/project/it/uomme");
}
Rinse and repeat per combination of language/word
This might not work without setting up a proper Virtual Host (so that instead of local urls like http://localhost/~antonio/project/it/women you have nice urls like http://project1.dev). But I would do that anyway, since it makes your dev environment nicer! (Here's a place to start).
Anyway, I would try this: just leave the .htaccess file set like you normally would for "path" style urls, and then just parse a $_GET['lang'] parameter using the UrlManager? So you would have a urlManager setup like this in your config.php:
'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path', // use path style parameters
'showScriptName'=>false, // get rid of index.php
'rules'=>array(
// this parses out the first chunk of url into the "lang" GET parameter
'<lang:[\w\-]+>/<controller:[\w\-]+>/<action:[\w\-]+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
)
)
This way a url like this http://project1.dev/it/controller/action will redirect to the "action" action in your Controller like normal (controller/action), but in your action $_GET['lang'] will now have the value of "it".
I hope that helps, it's kind of a shot in the dark. I'm not sure how you are actually triggering the different languages, so a $_GET parameter might not be helpful after all.
Found a way to do this in htaccess:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/~antonio/project/it/donna/shoes/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^it/donna/shoes/(.*)$ /~antonio/project/it/donna/calzature/$1 [L,R]
I want to change my url with only the parameter. As I am passing only one parameter, so I want the sub url should be changed with my parameter name. I want change the url as the following type-
From:
http://www.xyz.com/cat.php?slag=season
to
http://www.xyz.com/season
Can anyone help me to do it. I don't know how to do it. Thanks
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /path/to/your/directory
RewriteRule ^(.*)cat/(.*)$ cat\.php?slag=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
put the above in your .htaccess file.. and that would do the magic..
Note :
RewriteBase /path/to/your/directory
(use this line only if your application is in any of subfolder the folder)
I suggest you obtain a copy of the .htaccess that WordPress uses. It's a quite powerful starting point that allows you to handle routing internally from within your Application - which you might feel more comfortable with, as it seems to me.
Here's a problem I'm always wanting to solve with htaccess. I haven't found a way yet, though it looks like it should be possible - perhaps someone can help.
Let's say I have a folder at the root of my site called /foo/. I want users to be able to access that folder at the path /bar/, but for various reasons I can't rename the folder.
So as not to create confusion I only want one path to ever be seen - that is to say, I don't want people to use the name /foo/ to access the folder; they should always use /bar/. If someone goes to example.com/foo/, their browser should redirect to example.com/bar/ - but the content returned should be the content of /foo/.
To make matters more complicated, pages in /foo/ have dependencies (images, stylesheets, links to other pages, etc) within /foo/ which are hardcoded and can't be changed. These must, of course, still work.
So, to summarise, this is what I want :
Requests for example.com/foo/ should redirect to example.com/bar/.
Requests for example.com/bar/ should return the contents of example.com/foo/.
Is this possible? It looks on the surface as if it would create an infinite redirect... but I'm pretty sure there are ways to prevent that in htaccess, aren't there?
I'd be very grateful for any help.
(PS - for a little extra background: The normal reason I want to do this is to rename the wordpress /wp-admin/ directory to something more professional and easy for customers to remember, such as /admin/. But the same system should work for masking any path in this way.)
I found a sort of workaround - by using a symlink and htaccess in combination.
First I created a symlink from /bar to /foo/.
Then I put this in htaccess :
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^foo/(.*)$ bar/$1 [R,L]
This has exactly the desired result - example.com/bar/ shows the content of the /foo/ directory, and example.com/foo/ redirects to example.com/bar/
But if anyone can come up with a pure htaccess solution I'd much prefer that!
Update :
Ok, I've finally found out how to do this. It turns out to be quite simple...
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /foo/
RewriteRule ^foo/(.*)$ bar/$1 [R,L]
RewriteRule ^bar/(.*)$ foo/$1
The only problem is that it doesn't take account of RewriteBase, so you have to include the full path in the first line (after ^GET\).
If I understand correctly what you want is something like this inside your .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^foo/$ bar/
RewriteRule ^bar/$ foo/
</IfModule>
