first, sorry for my bad English.
I try to rewrite url generated from Form Get and redirect that.
my url is like this:
http://www.mysite.com/properties?action=search&agreement=for-rent&category=my-category&type=&zone=my-zone&city=my-city
and I have this .htaccess configured:
11. RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^action=(?:[a-zA-Z\-]*)&(?:.*)=([a-zA-Z\-]*)&(?:.*)=([a-zA-Z\-]*)&(?:.*)=([a-zA-Z\-]*)&(?:.*)=([a-zA-Z\-]*)&(?:.*)=([a-zA-Z\-]*)$
12. RewriteRule (.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/%1/%2/%3/%4/%5/? [R=301,L]
So basically all my request are direct to index.php.
21. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index\.php|resources|hidden
22. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
All works, but the problem is when I have an empty value in query string, the rule add double slash and the above url (for example whit &type=&zone=my-zone... type have empty value) will translate like that:
http://www.mysite.com/for-rent/my-category//my-zone/my-city/
The question is: How can i remove in .htaccess the double slash generated if i have one or more empty value in query string?
Thanks
Easiest is to do another redirect (not real pretty as it requires two 301's).
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} //
RewriteRule .* $0 [R=301,L]
The fun part is that when the url is loaded with a double slash in it, mod_rewrite will automatically remove this. So as you can see above you'll just have to rewrite the url to itself, kind of.

This is so elementary that you have to ask why it is so complex to implement.
Simply need to redirect one url to another on the same domain, the url contains query string aparams though:
I tried:
RewriteRule ^article.php?section=exclusive&id=543 articles/view/4639 [R=301,L]
I get page cannot be found - the redirect is not happening. I have other re-directs in the same htaccess which work. The query string params are causing problems, and escaping them also does not help.
Note the id's of the two urls are not the same and therefore I don't want a clever re-write rule which converts from one url to another with the query strings mapped to new params. I just want a fast and dirty mapping from A to B.
UPDATE
I tried this it redirects but it is adding my old query string to the end of the new url. How can I prevent that?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/article\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^section=exclusive
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.onlinegooner.com/articles/view/3000 [R=301,L]
Input url is: mydomain.com/article.php?section=exclusive
You may use this rule:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^section=exclusive [NC]
RewriteRule ^article\.php$ /articles/view/3000? [R=301,L,NC]
? in the target will strip off previous query string.
I have several URLs with question marks that need to be removed. For example, I need to redirect this URL:
http://example.net/?/services
To this URL:
http://example.net/services
I have many more like this, so I would like something that can catch everything with the question mark and properly redirect it. Many of the answers I found were trying to use QUERY_STRING as the condition for the rewrite, but without parameters this does not help. After some digging I found a RewiteCond that works, but the RewriteRule redirects to the homepage, rather than the URL without the question mark. What I have currently is this:
# Remove question mark from string
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(index\.php)?\?([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [L,R=301]
# Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
# Directs all EE web requests through the site index file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
The first block is the rewrite that I have so far, and the next two are for the CMS url routing. What seems to be happening is that my rewrite in the first block is not keeping the rest of the url. I have tried several combinations and can't seem to figure out how to keep the rest of the url intact.
Many of the answers I found were trying to use QUERY_STRING as the condition for the rewrite, but without parameters this does not help.
Yes, this is exactly what the first URL, with a question mark, contains. So, I'm not sure why "this does not help"? In the URL http://example.net/?/services, /services is the query string. Whether there are key/value pairs (ie. "parameters") is irrelevant.
To redirect URLs of the form http://example.net/?/services, that consist of no URL-path and only a query string, try something like:
# Remove question mark from string
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^/(.+)
RewriteRule ^$ /%1? [R,L]
%1 is a backreference to the captured group in the last matched CondPattern (ie. (.+), which captures services). This assumes that the query string (after the ?) always starts with a slash, as in your example. (Incidentally, this is also what your front controller is doing, in reverse, so I assume it must be correct.)
The trailing ? on the substitution removes the original query string from the request.
Make sure you clear your browser cache, as any earlier/erroneous 301s will have been cached by the browser.
If this is intended to be a permanent (301) redirect then change R to R=301, but only when you are sure it's working OK.
My original url is : www.site.com/report.cgi?d=2012-05
Requested URL: www.site.com/report-2012-05.cgi
My Htaccess Code:*
RewriteRule ^report([^/]*)\.cgi$ /report.php?d=$1 [L]
I want to restrict the request parameter to just XXXX-XX number format in GET url.
How can I do this ?
I didn't really understand your question, except you want to modify the URL format placing the parameter value in a different position.
The best way to do it is by capturing the query string like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} d=(.*)
The value inside the round brackets is the parameter value (2012-05), which can be back referenced with %1. For example:
RewriteRule .* report-%1.cgi [L]
Will rewrite the URL with /report-2012-05.cgi
Hope this helps.
I think you need to remove .cgi from your rewrite rule
For www.site.com/report-xxxx-xx
RewriteRule ^report-([^/]*)$ /report.cgi?d=$1 [L]<br>
For www.site.com/xxxx-xx
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /report.cgi?d=$1 [L]
I'm trying to come up with some mod_rewrite to translate http://example.com/?7gudznrxdnu into http://example.com/view.php?id=7gudznrxdnu
But any other page will function properly such as http://example.com/contact and so on.
I think this will work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^[a-z0-9]+$
RewriteRule ^$ view.php?id=%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
If you want the rewrite to be shown in the browser's address field, you'll have to replace [L] with [L,R=301].
Explanation: The query-string (what's following the question mark) is not part of the URL that RewriteRule sees in its matching-pattern, therefore you can't check for question mark there. In my solution, I run the rule if and only if (RewriteCond) the query string consists solely of a-z and/or 0-9, and my rule only rewrites URLs ending with a slash (except for the query string). I redirect this to view.php?id=, and then append the query string to that.
Edit: Tested on my Apache-server, and I haven't found any bugs (yet).
You should try (in your .htaccess):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\?([^/\.]+)?$ view.php?id=$1 [L]
I need to redirect
/search?keywords=somesearchterm
to
/search/somesearchterm
This seems incredibly basic but I've been pounding my head against it for an hour.
Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
You want to implement what is called a "301 Redirect" with mod_rewrite.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/search\?keywords=somesearchterm$ /search/somesearchterm
adding regular expressions:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/search\?keywords=(.+) /search/$1 [R=301,L]
R=301 means provide a 301 Header redirect so the user's URL changes in the browser, and L means don't process any more rewrite rules if this one matches.
If you want to do the reverse -- in other words, if someone goes to mysite.com/search/asearchterm and you want the URL to stay the same, but "behind the scenes" you want it to load a certain server script, do this:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/search/(.+) /search.php\?keywords=$1 [L]
You can not match aginst Query string in RewriteRule directive. Use %{THE_REQUEST} or %{QUERY_STRING} server variables to match the Query string :
The following rule works fine for this redirection
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/search\?kewords=([^&\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /search/%1? [NE,NC,R,L]
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]+)/?$ /search?keyword=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
