My blog's .htaccess is setup in such a way that one page is accessed through multiple URLs, and displays different content depending on which URL is visited.
http://kn3rdmeister.com/category/blog/
http://kn3rdmeister.com/2012/
http://kn3rdmeister.com/2012/07/
all are actually using http://kn3rdmeister.com/blog.php.
The .htaccess file is very handy in the sense that I only need to redirect to one page (pretty much ever) just with different query strings. After a lot messing around with 'em, all of my rules finally work, and I'm dang glad that they do. Well, almost all of them work. The last one does not.
the .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog\.php$ /category/blog/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^category/blog/?$ blog.php [L]
RewriteRule ^category/blog/page/?$ /category/blog/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^category/blog/page/([0-9]*)/?$ /category/blog/?pagenum=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1&month=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1&month=$2&day=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(^/]+)/?$ /category/blog/?url=http://kn3rdmeister.com/$1/$2/$3/$4/ [L]
The last rule is supposed to redirect to the "permanent link" page for each blog post. Being that each URL is unique, I'm using the post URLs as the unique identifier. Essentially, it is supposed to pass the "url" query string through "blog.php". The PHP script takes over, sees that the "url" query string is set, and then loads the only post with that exact URL in it's row.
The script works, but the redirect doesn't. Going directly to
http://kn3rdmeister.com/blog.php?url=http://kn3rdmeister.com/2012/07/04/amsterdam-ave/
will load the right content. However, going to
http://kn3rdmeister.com/2012/07/04/amsterdam-ave/
doesn't.
Try adding QSA (Query String Append). Also, invert rules so that "deeper" links go on top.
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(^/]+)/?$ /category/blog/?url=http://kn3rdmeister.com/$1/$2/$3/$4/ [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1&month=$2&day=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1&month=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1 [QSA,L]
But, you can't use rewritten links in other rules. So wherever you have category/blog/ replace it with blog.php.
Whilst webarto comments are good advice, your problem is a missing [:
^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([^/]+)/?$
not
^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(^/]+)/?$

i am working on project, which is running XAMPP localhost and PHP MYSQLI,
my question : how i replace "?","=" signs with "/" slash. ?
like, my url is "archive?date=2017-06-02&p=4"
and i want to force it "archive/2017-08-02/4"
i found many codes on stackoverflow and some other sites, but that are not working for me.
if codes are working then, CSS files and GET method doesn't work on my project.
complete code of .htaccess is given below.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^=]*)=([^=]*)=(.*) /$1/$2/$3 [N]
RewriteRule ^([^=]*)=([^=]*)$ $1/$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^home index.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^archive archive.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^about about.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^article article.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^news news.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^video videos.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^video?vid=([0-9]+) videos.php?q=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^article?num=([0-9]+) article.php?num=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^editorial?num=([0-9]+) editorial.php?num=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^news?news=([0-9]+) news.php?news=$1 [NC,L]
You cannot check against the query string in a rewrite rule. You need rewrite conditions for that:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} date=([^&]+)&p=(.+)
RewriteRule ^archive/? /archive/%1/%2?
Demo here: http://htaccess.mwl.be?share=81e85c09-d505-5206-ab14-6c5059107808
If you want to actually redirect just add [R=301,L] to the end of the RewriteRule.
However, looking at the above I suspect you have your script sitting listening at /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar but want URLs to be like /archive/date/p, ie pretty.
This is actually a very common misconception about how htaccess URL rewrites work when you first get into them.
RewriteRules will mask or redirect URLs for you but they cannot change the underlying location a script is located at and thus the address used to pass it information.
In other words - you can mask /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar as /archive/date/p so that requests made to /archive/date/p resolve to /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar, but you cannot make it so that if you enter /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar as URL you have the URL change to /archive/date/p while still serving content from /archive/date/p. It has to be either or.
If this all sounds about right my advice would be as follows:
First, put your code into a different file, say /archive/script.php.
Next add the following to your htaccess:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} date=([^&]+)&p=(.+)
RewriteRule ^archive/? /archive/%1/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^archive/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /archive/script.php?date=$1&p=$2
Note that the first two lines are the same as before, but now there is a new line that looks for the masked URL format of /archive/date/p and sends it off to the actual script, which is handled by the new RewriteRule.
The behaviour of the new rule is demoed here: http://htaccess.mwl.be?share=06751667-f16f-5c13-91eb-dd5cffdc6db3
Hope this makes sense / helps.
I have a website where i have pages like:
domain.com/?p=settings
domain.com/?p=daily
And i am looking for rewrite that ?p= part, so it would be like
domain.com/settings
So far i have tried to add this to htaccess files:
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1?p= [NC,L]
but it did not worked.
Also I have tried look from Google but could not find any.
I have tried other RewriteRule's but they did not work either.
RewriteRule does not include query string. It is available as a separate variable enter link description here
The Pattern will initially be matched against the part of the URL after the hostname and port, and before the query string (e.g. "/app1/index.html"). This is the (%-decoded) URL-path.
So the following won't work.
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1?p= [NC,L]
You need something like
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(\w+)=(\w+)$
RewriteRule ^/ %2?
Checkout Apache Mod ReWrite Wiki and scroll down to "Making the Query String Part of the Path"
You were close with your attempt, you need to use this in your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /?p=$1 [L]
Make sure to clear your cache before testing this.
Alright, title is REALLY sloppy.
Here's my problem: I have a news site and when you go to the main page (domain.com) it redirects you to domain.com/news/top?geography=San_Francisco after it figures out your geography.
How do I use the .htaccess so that it goes from domain.com/news/top?geography=San_Francisco domain.com/San_Francisco/news/top ?
There are some similar questions, but I have not found one similar enough in that you're editing the URL as a furtherback subdirectory.
It should also be noted that I am using the Code Igniter framework for PHP and it normally has it as domain.com/index.php/news/top?geography=San_Francisco but I did a mod_rewrite already to get rid of the index.php. The code is as follows for that:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Code I've tried:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/news/top$ /news/top?geography=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Before the index.php rule that you have, try adding this:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/news/top$ /news/top?geography=$1 [L,QSA]
You'll need to make sure the links you generate are in the form of domain.com/San_Francisco/news/top though.
But to take care of the links in the wild that still look like the old way, you have to match against the actual request:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /news/top\?geography=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^news/top$ /%1/news/top? [L,R=301]
This will 301 redirect the browser if someone goes to the link domain.com/news/top?geography=San_Francisco and make it so the browser's address bar says this: domain.com/San_Francisco/news/top. At which point the browser will send another request for the second URL, and you use the rule above to change it back into the one with a query string.
I have the following code in the my .htaccess file and the top Rewrite works fine the bottem one does not I know why but I dont kno how to fix it.
Its seeing RewriteRule ^([^/]*).html index.php?p=order&course_id=$1 [L] as the top rewrite command becuase of the hightlighed part and i dont want to put it in a dir
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+).html
index.php?p=$1 [L]
index.php?p=about_us
RewriteRule ^([^/]+).html
index.php?p=order&course_id=$1 [L]
index.php?p=order&course_id=5
Thank you,
Can you give example urls that should match the pattern block and what you would like them to be rewritten to? That would be very helpful.
One thing I notice is that your first regexp you test if you match the pattern block with a + which means 1 or more times and the second one you check it with a * which means 0 or more so I don't think the second one will ever be called, although I am very new to regexps but it is just something I noticed.
These are very helpful resources for me:
http://www.webforgers.net/mod-rewrite/mod-rewrite-syntax.php
http://forum.modrewrite.com/
From the example of the urls you would be using, this should work:
# http://website.com/about_us/ rewrites to /index.php?p=about_us
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-z_-]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1 [NC,L]
# http://website.com/order/12/ rewrites to /index.php?p=order&course_id=12
RewriteRule ^order/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?p=order&course_id=$1 [NC,L]
The second Rewrite might be:
# http://website.com/order/12/ rewrites to /index.php?p=order&course_id=12
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-z_-]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&course_id=$2 [NC,L]
Depending on your page structure.
i try to redirect url's like:
example.com/video/1640/video-name
to
example.com/video/1640/video-name/
i've tried with:
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/ [R=301,L]
but it is not working
my currently htaccess file has only the first line:
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
and videos only loads at
example.com/video/1640/video-name/
url type
i want to redirect the non-backslash url type
example.com/video/1640/video-name
to the correct one (the one with the backslash)
How can i do this?
Your second rule should be RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video/$1/$2/ [R=301,L]
Or you could forgo the redirect totally, and just say RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L] which will allow both to view your video.
Update FallingBullets is right (see the comments on this answer), his answer better suites the OP's problem, so please ignore this answer (I am leaving it for reference, though).
Maybe you simply have to prefix your pattern with a /?? E. g.
RewriteRule ^/?video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/?video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/ [R=301,L]
# ^ these ones
instead of
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/ [R=301,L]
since you are anchoring the pattern at the beginning of the path (using ^).
