I have a couple of RewriteRules that I'd like to combine into one. I'm not sure how to do it, though. I think look arounds would need to be used? The difference between the two is the first would match something like:
search/foo or search/foo/
and the second would match
search/foo/10 or search/foo/10/
Rewrites:
RewriteRule ^search/([a-zA-Z]+)/?$ index.php?page=search&query=$1&pn=1 [L]
RewriteRule ^search/([a-zA-Z]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page=search&query=$1&pn=$2 [L]
Without using look arounds, my attempt would be
^search/([a-zA-Z]+)/?([0-9]+)?/?$
But i think that would match something undesirable like this?
search/foo10
edit:
I'm tryin to get the regex to match the following URIs:
search/foo
search/foo/
search/foo/1
search/foo/1/
^search/([a-zA-Z]+)(/)?([0-9]+)?\/?$
will this work? you might have make '/' also as match pattern and ignore $2.Same can be followed for the trailing '/' and ignore $4.

I'm new to regular expressions and need to rewrite an example URL:
http://domain.com/quiz.php?id=1
To the friendly URL,which looks like forum URL, like this:
http://domain.com/1-quiz-title
So 1 is the GET variable. Title must be lowercase only
I tried the following but it seems incorrect:
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\-]+)$ quiz.php?id=$1 [L]
It's picking the GET variable as 1-quiz-title while it should be only 1
Thanks
If the get variable is only numbers, you want the regex to be like this:
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)- quiz.php?id=$1 [L]
So the regex matches some amount of numbers first and groups it (the parentheses), the matches a "-". Note that there isn't a $ for end of match, this is essentially going to ignore the title completely, not even going to try to match it. The title doesn't need to be in the rewritten URL so we don't really care what comes after the -.
I would like to use mod_rewrite to capture a string within brackets in my URL and do a redirect.
My URL:
something?var_a=A&var_b=(B)&var_c=C
my .httaccess file with the regex:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?.+var_b=\((.*)\)$ somedir/$1 [R]
I just would like to capture what's in between the round brackets, so my redirect should look something like this: somedir/B
I test my regex at http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ but I get no match.
I don't know what I am missing here, even if I try much simpler regexes, e.g. .+var_b(.*)$ I get no match. Only if my regex was looking for a pattern at the beginning, I get a match, so for example the regex something(.*)$ works.
What am I missing here?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)var_b=\((.*?)\)(&|$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ somedir/%2? [R]
The reason is that RewriteRule does not receive the ?x=y part of the query. The %2 variable refers to the pattern from the last RewriteCond, while $2 would refer to the pattern from this RewriteRule. The ? at the end prevents the query part ?x=y from being automatically appended at the end of the result.
The (^|&) and (&|$) in the pattern guarantee that var_b=(B) is the complete parameter and not a part of it. Without these, the pattern would also match ?xyzvar_b=(B) or ?var_b=(B)xyz. With these, it will only match ?var_b=(B) or ?a=b&var_b=(B)&x=z etc.
I have done this: http://rubular.com/r/AHI15Tb4ju, and it match the second url (http://gamempire.localhost.it/news/tomb-pc), but I want to exclude that url and match everything that do not have the word "news/" inside (but at the same time end in the way that I have specified).
How to do that?
Basically, i want to match only the third url (http://gamempire.localhost.it/tomb-pc).
Thanks!
You can use a rule like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/news/
RewriteRule -(?:pc|ps2|ps3|ps4|xbox-360|xbox-one|xbox|wii-u|wii|psp|ps-vita|ds|3ds|iphone|ipad|android|playstation)(.*)$ / [L,R]
Since I didn't know any action part I just redirected these matching URI patterns to / that you can change according to your need.
Try using this:
^((?!news).)*-(?:pc|ps2|ps3|ps4|xbox-360|xbox-one|xbox|wii-u|wii|psp|ps-vita|ds|3ds|iphone|ipad|android|playstation)(.*)$
It should be noted that I tried to modify your original pattern as little as possible, assuming you also needed the (.*) at the end even though it appears that this is unnecessary for your purposes, and would match strings such as
"http://gamempire.localhost-pc.it/tomb" and "http://-pcgamempire.localhost.it/tomb".
I am trying to create the following behavior with a rewrite rule.
https://domain.com/admin/user/add => /addedit.php?add=
https://domain.com/admin/user/add/ => /addedit.php?add=
https://domain.com/admin/user/add/123 => /addedit.php?add=123
https://domain.com/admin/user/add/123/ => /addedit.php?add=123
user is variable
add can either be "add" or "edit"
Trailing slashes are always allowed
There can be more after the slash after (add|edit) which is assigned to the variable
I'm fine up until the optional slash after the action word (add|edit). That's where I don't know regex well enough to accomplish my goal.
Something like the following works:
RewriteRule ^admin/(.*)/(add|edit)(/(.*)/?)?$ /admin/$1/addedit.php?$2=$3
However, the URLs end up containing the slashes in the GET variable. I figured I would be able to reference the (.*) in middle of (/(.*)/?)? as $4, but I am not.
I then read about non capturing groups and so added a ?: like so:
RewriteRule ^admin/(.*)/(add|edit)(?:/(.*)/?)?$ /admin/$1/addedit.php?$2=$3
It's probably a relatively simple thing I'm overlooking.
You're almost there, just minor modifications needed:
RewriteRule ^admin/([^/]+)/(add|edit)(?:/([^/]*))?/?$ /admin/$1/addedit.php?$2=$3 [L,NC]
Regex to match: ^(.*\/admin)(\/user)\/((?:add)|(?:edit))\/?(([^/]*)?\/?)$
Regex to replace: /addedit.php?$3=$5

I need help writing a simple regex for RewriteRule for mod_rewrite in htaccess. So, here is what I am trying to accomplish:
books/2010-the-world-by-hopkins-139_PPS-1234567
should go to
index.php?pagename=mypage&PPS=1234567&description=2010-the-world-by-hopkins-139
So, in pseducode, the regex has to split the part after books by _ and I should get it into two parts:
PPS (it is always a numeric with 1+ variable number of digits). This is the part after _PPS-
Description (it is always a string). This is the part containing ANYTHING before the _.
I guess the RewriteRule will be something like:
RewriteRule books/(.*)_(.*) index.php?pagename=mypage&PPS=$2&description=$1
But I need correct regex. Plese help.
something like: but flip the $1 and $2 ;)
^books/(.*)_PPS-([0-9]{1,})$
