I was wondering how to pass several (two) values through url as a clean url.
I've done clean urls before, but never with multiple values and it doesn't seem to be working.
This is what the url looks like now:
http://example.com/?user=Username&page=1
This is what I want it to look like
http://example.com/user/Username/page/1
I've tried other answers that I've seen on here, but they aren't working for this certain deal.
RewriteEngine On
# Don't match real existing files so CSS, scripts, images aren't rewritten
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Match the first two groups before / and send them to the query string
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+) index.php?user=$1&page=$2 [L]
Thanks. :)
I'm using PHP by the way. :)
Also, will I still be able to use $_GET with this? I thought so, but I also somewhere else where it said you can't... :D
You're missing several matches, try:
RewriteEngine On
# Don't match real existing files so CSS, scripts, images aren't rewritten
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+) index.php?$1=$2&$3=$4 [L]
This will take a URL like:
http://example.com/a/b/c/d
to the URI:
/index.php?a=b&c=d
will I still be able to use $_GET with this? I thought so, but I also somewhere else where it said you can't.
In the above example, when you look at $_GET['a'] you'd get b.

New poster to this place but long term user.
I have a site which uses index.php and then has a viewpost.php and categorypost.php.
The viewpost is for viewing the main posts and the categorypost is for viewing posts under a category such as "webdesign".
The view post slug is made up of query string such as:
viewpost.php?postType=services&postCategory=webdesign&postTitle=somepost
I then want that to rewrite to
website/services/webdesign/somepost
First question:
Is this the correct way to do this by using 3 files or am I creating more work than needed?
Second question:
If I'm on the correct or at least an ok path, how do I go about redirecting?
I have seen about 30 or so posts around this but finding it hard to get my head around it and have ended up with 500 response or just straight redirecting.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ viewpost.php?postTag=$1&postCategory=$2&postTitle=$3 [QSA,L]
Any help is greatly appreciated.
If these particular links can all start with the same word, it is the simplest, in this case "website". Because it avoids mistakenly using an existing folder with a missing page.
RewriteRule ^website/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ viewpost.php?postTag=$1&postCategory=$2&postTitle=$3 [NC,QSA,L]
But if it's not the case, you can use:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ viewpost.php?postTag=$1&postCategory=$2&postTitle=$3 [QSA,L]
recently i have tried to build some MVC application without any framework to understand MVC pattern better. Till now i have resolved every problem i have had BUT....
Pretty common thing is to make your URL looks "nicer"
For example www.somesite.com/controller/method
instead of www.somesite.com/index.php?c=1&m=2.
i achieved this simply with htacces by aiming it to a variable.
in htaccess...RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
This works perfectly fine until someone tries to rewrite variable "url".
Basically if someone types www.somesite.com/controller/method?url=1
my Application will pop up an error page because i am parsing everything after / and calling specific controllers and methods by its name (or popping up an error page if that doesnt exists).
So i would like to know if there is a better way to do this or way to avoid this behaviourThanks :)
EDIT
In last few hours i tried to find a better solutions. I thought i could put my url into Enviromental variable instead of into get variable.
So i experimented with commands like
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [E=URL:$1,QSA]
unfortunately $_SERVER["URL"] is blank......
i would be really happy if someone could help me with this piece of code :) Thanks
EDIT 2
Okay to make it clear i'll add few examples.
My current htacces looks like this
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA]
So if someone goes to www.somesite.com/foo/bar
i will check $_GET["url"] and then explode it explode("/", filter_var(rtrim($_GET["url"], "/"), FILTER_SANITIZE_URL))
Now i have array which looks like [0=>foo 1=>bar]
That means in my code that i will try to call controller called foo and then method in this class called bar
In case that the user will try to acces www.somesite.com/foo/bar/fee/faa, fee and faa will pass as a parameters to method bar in class foo.
So this was just example how does this work. My problem is as i said when someone tries to acces lets say www.somesite.com/foo?url=0. Then my script will try to handle $_GET["url"] and the result wont be foo but 0 because of ?url=0 rewrites the value of url which was originaly set in my .htacces. So my scripts will try to call controller called 0 and if that doesnt exists itt will popup error404. I have already tried to ignore this specific variable via QUERY_STRING in htacces but this seems to me like a stupid solution. For now i would like to stick with setting evniromental variable instead of get variable or if there is some better way to achieve this :) Thanks
Your current set-up relies on $_GET to obtain core information but, as you've faced, that variable is populated from user input so anyone can mess with your routing, even inadvertently.
A typical Apache configuration for a custom router looks like this (this snippet is from CakePHP/2.x):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
As you can see is doesn't add GET variables of its own, it merely lets existing ones to pass through. Original URL is right there inside $_SERVER, you don't need to instruct Apache to copy it into the redirected URL.
I understand you want $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] but you can peek inside the array with the usual methods: print_r($_SERVER), var_dump($_SERVER), phpinfo()...
I'm building a web-builder, but I have no idea how to use .htaccess. Is there a way to make something like that (I'll write it in php because my English bad so it is easier to me):
<?php
if(ERROR && ONE_NAME){ //There is no page like that, for example: www.example.com/thispageisntexists
//redirect to page /website.php?webname=thispageisntexists
}elseif(ERROR && TWO_OR_MORE){ //for example: www.example.com/thispageisntexists/hi.php
//redirect to page /website.php?webname=thispageisntexists&pagename=hi
//if url is www.example.com/thispageisntexists/hi.php#hi rediract to /website.php?webname=thispageisntexists&pagename=hi#hi
//if url is www.example.com/thispageisntexists/hi.php?name=vlad&last=gincher rediract to /website.php?webname=thispageisntexists&pagename=hi$name=vlad&last=gincher
//and so on...
}
?>
inside website.php I'll check if the page exist and if no it will redirect to 404.php, and if it exist it will show the website.
I find it somewhat unclear what url's should be redirected or rewritten. I am assuming you have (or want) seo urls like this http://example.com/aaa and http://example.com/aaa/bbb and want to internally rewrite that to something that makes sense to the server.
You want it to work if there is already a query string present. This means that you have to concat the two query strings with the [QSA] flag.
"There is no page like that" translates to a condition that checks if the requested filename exists. You can negate that condition with a ! before the second argument. That would be RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f.
#hi is an anchor. It is never sent to the server. Your browser should however automatically keep appending that to the url, even when redirecting the request.
I see that Jon Lin already posted a .htaccess file that should work for you. I will still post this answer to clarify what is used there.
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/website\.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /website.php?webname=$1 [L,R,QSA]
# you can remove the "R" if you don't want to redirect the browser
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/website\.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.*?)(\.php)?$ /website.php?webname=$1&pagename=$2 [L,R,QSA]
# you can remove the "R" if you don't want to redirect the browser
There's nothing with such an explicit IF-THEN-ELSE. .htaccess does have ways of doing conditional URL/URI redirects and rewrites, using RewriteCond and RewriteRule commands. They use "regular expressions" to match patterns, so they aren't as flexible as a real scripting language like PHP, but you can do lots with them.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILE} !-f
RewriteRule /?(.*)$ /website.php?webname=$1 [L]
might be a start for what I understand you're trying to do.
This is the link http://djmobi.in/?dir=/Mobile_Ringtones&p=1&sort=1/Mobile_Ringtones.html
Please tell me how to remove ?dir= from the above link I want to make it look like below link eg.
http://www.finewap.com/Category/9497/Mobile_Ringtones.html
You must not think the way "How to remove ?dir=", but "Which link use instead of this complex one".
This is the kinf of .htaccess you'll need :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)\.html$ index.php?dir=$1 [L]
This .htaccess will redirect each url like http://www.domain.com/foo.html to http://www.domain.com/index.php?dir=foo (this will be transparent)
This is a good start, I let you search for some documentation to add your pages and sort management (we don't have enought datas to give you a working piece of code)
I am in a new project and I'm designing the URL structure,
the thing is I want URLs look like this:
/category-23/keyword/5/
Where the normal page is:
/search.php?q=keyword&cat=23&page=5
So my question is, cat and page fields, must be optional, I mean if I go to /keyword it should be
/search.php?q=keyword (page 1)
and if I go to
/category/keyword should be:
/search.php?q=keyword&cat=category&p=1
and also if I go to
/keyword/5/ it must be: /search.php?q=keyword&p=5
Now I have my .htaccess like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ search.php?q=$2&cat=$1&page=$3 [L]
I cannot make it working and the CSS / image files don't load.
I'd thank a lot who could give me a solution.
You can do this with four rules, one for each case:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ search.php?q=$1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([0-9]+)$ search.php?q=$2&p=$1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ search.php?q=$2&cat=$1&p=1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)$ search.php?q=$2&cat=$1&p=$3
And with this rule in front of the other rules, any request that can be mapped onto existing files will be passed through:
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
Now your last issue, that externally linked resources cannot be found, is due to that you’re probably using relative URL paths like css/style.css or ./css/style.css. These relative references are resolved from the base URL path that is the URL path of the URL of the document the references are used in. So in case /category/keyword is requested, a relative reference like css/style.css is resolved to /category/keyword/css/style.css and not /css/style.css. Using the absolute URL path /css/style.css makes it independent from the actual base URL path
While i know this was answered succinctly by #Gumbo a few months back, I ran into a similar issue recently... and didn't want to include full/absolute paths in my app, to keep it dynamic and not having a bunch APP_PATH (php) vars all over the place... so I just added a base[href] html tag with the
like so...
<base href="http://<?php echo $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST];?><?php echo APP_PATH;?>"/>
Hoping that helps others... and this is not trying to discount #Gumbo's reply in the least... they're right-e-o on :).
Shouldn't it be
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
in #Gumbo's answer above? Works with me like that. If it is a file (like CSS), let it pass through.
