i have this in my htaccess
Options +MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ dash.php?p=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ dash.php?p=$1
and im trying to make this url:
http://mywebdomain.com/dash.php?p=dash&mode=All
look like this:
http://mywebdomain.com/dash/All
Is there a way to do this?
and also if i had for example this:
http://mywebdomain.com/user/manage.php?p=manage&mode=Me
how could i get that to look like this:
http://mywebdomain.com/user/manage/Me
I have successfully managed to get the .php extension removed by the Options +Multiviews command but i am struggling trying to work out why it wont work for the re-write of the extended parts of the url.
Thanks for any help in advance too :)

With MultiViews on, you do not need Rewrite to accomplish this.
since dash.php file exist in document root, Apache will pass requests to /dash/anything to dash.php, and that php script can parse the URI (found in $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]) to check what was the full uri called.
same goes for /user/manage.php ...

I tried following a tutorial on the internet about mod_rewrite but it wasn't really for me. I created a .htaccess file that has the following code for now:
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes
RewriteEngine On
From what I understand this is the basic setup of .htaccess to rewrite urls, followed by the instructions... what and how to change. I tried different exampled but it didn't worked for me. I have a dynamic page with the url localhost/alpha/oferta.php?id=52042156c65d4, where id="..." is the unique id of that offer. I want to change it to localhost/alpha/oferta/id=".."
Can you please show me an example of how can I achieve that? Also if you know any helpful tutorials let me know. Let me know before downrating so I can edit my question. Thanks!
So you want this kind or URL : localhost/alpha/oferta/id=123abc to be redirected to localhost/alpha/oferta.php?id=123abc.
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^alpha/oferta/id=([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ alpha/oferta.php?id=$1 [L]
Remember a few things :
this won't magically change "old" URLs into "new" ones. You must use rewritten ("new") URLs everywhere. Then your htaccess will change this readable URL into a technical one, which can be used by your code.
this redirection is transparent. If you want the URL to change into the browser bar, use [L,R=301] instead of [L].
this will only accept letters (case insensitive) and numbers for your id.
you can find a good cheat sheet about mod_rewrite here.
im new here.
Im trying to rewrite some urls on my site only for some reason no matter what I try I cannot get them to work!
My directory on my server has the following...
index.php
user-profile.php
.htaccess
On my index.php there is a number of users that all have a view more details button that links through to user-profiles and posts an ID using GET method as such...
http://mysite.com/user-profile.php?userID=2&firstName=Martin&lastName=FAM
However Id like to format them as so...
http://mysite.com/people/2/Martin/FAM
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /user-profile.php?userID=$1&firstName=$2&lastName=$3 [L]
Can anybody give me some reason as too why this isnt working?
The regex should be
^people/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$
You need to make sure you have this option set in your document root directory in Apache's httpd.conf file:
AllowOverride All
I'm trying to redirect a series of around 400 urls using .htaccess/Apache containing a given /directory/ anywhere in the url to a specific location.
The problem here is that my site is receiving requests for an old site hosted on our servers ip. I've tried manually redirecting the urls but the volume is simply too great.
I've searched but can only find examples for redirecting query strings or files
Thanks in advance.
Ok, if all links have the same directory in there... example store/funstuff/blahblah.php
and funstuff is the directory you are looking for then you could modify your .htaccess file something linke this
Options +FollowSymlinks
Options -Multiviews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} funstuff
RewriteRule . http://www.gohere.com/
Then if you needed to pass more of the URL info you could do the last line like this:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.gohere.com/1$
That should get you started... you may need to tweak it slightly.
What language are you processing the redirects in?
You probably need to use a regular expression that searches for the given /directory/.
If I understand your question correctly and that you are using Apache; RedirectMatch should do what you want.
It accepts a regexp for matching and can then redirect to the place you choose.
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=$1 [L]
This will rewrite any requests which are for a word string to index.php. You need to be aware that the rewrite engine rescans the .htaccess file if a match has occured so you need to make sure that you don't create a loop. In this case the replacement string has a "." in it and the pattern doesn't, so this won't occur, but for more complex cases you may need to 'guard' the rules with one or more RewriteCond statements. Again, read the Apache documentation.
I want to change my url with only the parameter. As I am passing only one parameter, so I want the sub url should be changed with my parameter name. I want change the url as the following type-
From:
http://www.xyz.com/cat.php?slag=season
to
http://www.xyz.com/season
Can anyone help me to do it. I don't know how to do it. Thanks
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /path/to/your/directory
RewriteRule ^(.*)cat/(.*)$ 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.
