changing link url using .htacces - .htaccess

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)

SEO Friendly URLs & .htaccess

I'm trying to make my URLs SEO friendly but am having issues with my .htaccess
This is how my URL currently looks:
http://www.mysite.com/dns/?domain=stackoverflow.com&submit=Report
But I want it to show like this:
http://www.mysite.com/dns/stackoverflow.com
I've tried so many things I don't know if it's even possible to do so I just wanted to start over with guidance from you guys. The .htaccess I'm working with is in the /dns/ folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Step 1: change all of your links and anchors in all of your pages to look like this: http://www.mysite.com/dns/stackoverflow.com, so when someone clicks a link on your site, they go to a link that looks like http://www.mysite.com/dns/stackoverflow.com instead of http://www.mysite.com/dns/?domain=stackoverflow.com&submit=Report
Step 2: In the htaccess file in your document root, add these rules (above any rules that you may already have):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?dns/(.+)$ /dns/?domain=$1&submit=Report [L,QSA]
Step 3: In the event that a GET method form submission is generating the link, you can add these rules too:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD)\ /dns/\?domain=([^&\ ]+)(&submit=Report)?
RewriteRule ^/?dns/?$ /dns/%2? [L,R=301]
See post url rewritin using .HTACCESS
www.mysite.com/dns/?domain=stackoverflow.com&submit=Report
to
www.mysite.com/dns/stackoverflow.com/Report
Try this
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule \.(js|css|jpe?g|png|gif)$ - [L]
RewriteRule "^dns/([ \w-]+)/([ \w-]+)/?$" dns/?domain=$1&submit=$2 [L,QSA]

how joomla htaccess identifies what is the get method for particular alias?

Im developing a website which supports SEF urls. I use PHP as serverside language. I know htaccess basic codes how works with it. But the problem is if I want to rewrite a php get link I have to put each both links on htaccess like this.
RewriteRule ^sign-in$ index.php?view=signin
RewriteRule ^register$ index.php?view=register
RewriteRule ^jobs$ index.php?id=2
Is there any possible way to automate urls with htaccess and url particular alias instead of adding Rewrite rules manually? something like joomla? I was trying to understand how joomla htaccess connects with particual alias. But I still couldn't understand how it works. I cant uderstand how joomla htaccess makes relationship with article aliases. Please help. Thanks in advance.
If there isn't any difference for how an id looks like compared to how a view looks like (in your example, register is a view and jobs is an id=2), then you have to do one or the other individually:
To "automate" the views you could try just doing this:
RewriteEngine On
# all id's here:
RewriteRule ^jobs$ index.php?id=2 [L]
RewriteRule ^something-else$ index.php?id=3 [L]
RewriteRule ^another$ index.php?id=4 [L]
# this will do all views
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?view=$1 [L]
EDIT: If you need to do these mappings via an external set of aliases, you need to take a look at the RewriteMap directive. You will need to have access to the server or vhost configs in order to setup the map, but your rules can stay in an htaccess file.
Say you have a text file called "joomla_maps.txt" that looks like:
jobs id=2
another id=3
sign-in view=sign-in
register view=register
etc...
You can use that mapping by setting it up in a RewriteMap (in vhost/server config)
RewriteMap joomla txt:/path/to/joomla_maps.txt
And later in your htaccess:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?${joomla:$1} [L]
Take a look through the RewriteMap docs to get some examples of other kinds of maps, including executing a script or using a dbm hash map.

.htaccess 2 Dyanamic Rewrite URL

I have a dynamic url at
http://www.technicae.net/cgi-bin/type/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=2&tag=2%|tag|&limit=20
where the '|tag|' and '20' part change depending on the tag. This is Movable Type blogging platform which is written in perl. The '|tag|' part is a place holder for the tag. For example, if the tag was 'there' the url would be
http://www.technicae.net/cgi-bin/type/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=2&tag=2%there&limit=20
and not
http://www.technicae.net/cgi-bin/type/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=2&tag=2%|tag|&limit=20
I was wondering how to rewrite that in htaccess because everything I try doesn't work. I want it to be
http://www.technicae.net/tag/|tag|
instead of
http://www.technicae.net/cgi-bin/type/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=2&tag=2%|tag|&limit=20
can you please help me?
note
The URLS are not functional.
This is what you're searching for :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^tag/([^/]+)$ cgi-bin/type/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=2&tag=2%$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^tag/([^/]+)/limit/([^/]+)$ cgi-bin/type/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=2&tag=2%$1&limit=$2 [L]
This will allow thos kind of url :
www.domain.com/tag/<myTag>
www.domain.com/tag/<myTag>/limit/<myLimit>
But not :
www.domain.com/limit/<myLimit>
Assuming you are using Apache, make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled.
The .htaccess you should use (this may need tweaked) is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^tag/([^\.]+)$ cgi-bin/type/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=2&tag=2%$1&limit=20 [NC,L]

Changing Link Structure?

what to write in .htacess file so that i can convert the following link
post.php?id=$id
to
$id/something-anything
so that by hitting the link $id/something-anything it will redirect to post.php?id=$id automatic
I've tired this but faild
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.+?)$ post.php?id=$1
Thanks
Why !
i want to change for example post.php?id=4 to 4/hello-world-love-you
then by hitting this link 4/hello-world-love-you it will send to another file called post.php the id as 4/hello-world-love-you and by using $realid = array_shift(explode("/", $id)); then i can get the real id of the post back which is 4 and do anything i want :) that is exactly i'm thinking about.
it will solve your problem!
RewriteRule ^(\d+)/(.*) post.php?id=$1

How to avoid URL and directory match problem when editing .htaccess file?

I have the following lines in the .htaccess file in the site directory:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{1}[a-z0-9_-]{3,20})$ account.php?username=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
If it receives URL for example :
http://localhost/samplesite/johnsmith
it will rewrite it to
http://localhost/samplesite/account.php?username=johnsmith
which is fine.
The problem occurs when there is a directory named johnsmith in the site directory. then the URL is rewritten to and displayed as
http://localhost/samplesite/johnsmith/?username=johnsmith
and that is a problem. I am trying to implement account pages functionality for every user but if a user wants to register a username like some directory in the root the functionality will break? I tried adding rewrite conditions to check if the requested URL stands for an existing directory or a file :
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
but I don't know how to proceed.
If someone knows a better way to do account pages functionality for users I would appreciate to give me a piece of advice on that.
Can anybody help me solve this case? Thank you!
Your RewriteCond will work if it is in the correct place. Your full .htaccess should look like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# ---------------------------------------------------------------See info below--
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{1}[a-z0-9_-]{3,20})$ account.php?username=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
Also, you don't need the %{QUERY_STRING}. Instead you should use the QSA flag to append the rest of the query string...
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{1}[a-z0-9_-]{3,20})$ account.php?username=$1 [L,QSA]
