I'm having trouble with my .htaccess file when trying to execute a different file in the same folder based on an extra URL parameter for an automobile website. I'm terrible at regex and really tried to get this working, hope you guys can help.
The directory structure is www.domain.com/car/make/model
My current .htaccess file lives in /car and is the following for the "make":
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !make\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /([^/]+)/([^/]+)
RewriteRule !\.(gif|jpg|png|css)$ make.php?make=%2 [L]
This works fine for say www.domain.com/car/honda
When I try to add a new condition and rule above this one for the automobile "model", the rule doesn't fire for the request_uri (it keeps running make.php instead):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !model.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/])
RewriteRule !\.(gif|jpg|png|css)$ model.php?test=%2&model=%3 [L]
I'm trying to execute a different file (model.php) for, say www.domain.com/car/honda/accord
What am I missing? Hope this makes sense. Thanks much.
Have your rules like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /car/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ make.php?make=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ model.php?test=$1&model=$2 [L,QSA]

Im trying to both remove .php extensions. So for example "http://localhost/timetable/login" instead of "http://localhost/timetable/login.php"
But also have
"http://localhost/timetable/38/" instead of
"http://localhost/timetable/index.php?week=38"
Im able to get one or the other working but not both at the same time. Im assuming its because there is a conflict between them but Im not advanced enough to find it.
Here is my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ index.php?week=$2
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/$ index.php?week=$2
If in the address bar I type "http://localhost/timetable/38" it brings me to "http://localhost/38/" and an Object not Found error.
Does anyone know what the problem is ?
UPDATE: I can now go to the page but
echo $_GET['week'];
Is returning empty result, so its ignroing the 40 in "http://localhost/timetable/40"
Instead of using separate rewrite rule for each input, you should consider routing all of them as a single string to some php file.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
In you php file, you can then separate the string as input and use them as required.
<?php
$inputs = explode('/', $_GET['page']);
You only have one capture group when you try to get the week. So it should be $1 instead of $2.
According to this test tool, the following should work:
RewriteRule ([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?week=$1
I would do something like this:
# rewrite if url ends with a number and possibly a slash
RewriteRule ([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?week=$1 [QSA,L]
# do not append .php if it already ends with .php, other add .php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [QSA,L]
Perhaps a better question would be, is there any way to use server variables in the matching string?
For example, I can't understand why this fails to match:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} %{REQUEST_URI}
First, two points.
I know this condition servers no purpose as is.
I know I have poor knowledge of both htaccess and regex.
What I want is to generically turn this URL www.example.com/dir/path/info into www.example.com/dir?foo=/path/info for bootstrapping.
I tried to accomplish this by removing the extra path info from the deepest actual directory in the URL. I was trying this code to test the premise:
RewriteEngine On
Options -Multiviews -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /
DirectorySlash Off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)%{PATH_INFO}
RewriteRule ^(.+?) index.php?dir=%1&path=%2 [L]
No luck. To troubleshoot I reduced it to this:
RewriteCond %{PATH_INFO} (.+)
RewriteRule ^(.+?) index.php?dir=%1 [L]
As expected the query returned foo='/path/info'
So I tried this which I thought would match no matter what:
RewriteCond %{PATH_INFO} %{PATH_INFO}
That failed so as a last attempt, I tried capturing the string:
RewriteCond %{PATH_INFO} (.+)
RewriteCond %{PATH_INFO} %1
That also failed to find a match which has me baffled. %1 should be the complete %{PATH_INFO} string. How could it not match itself???
I don't think it matters but I'm using XAMPP on Windows7 in FastCGI.
Rewrite pattern params only allow regex (tho Condpattern also has special flags for tests and comparisons):
RewriteCond TestString CondPattern
RewriteRule Pattern Substitution
Server variables like %{REQUEST_URI} can only be used in Teststring and Substitution. The following docs outline this usage:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
If this will go in your main .htaccess, perhaps try:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index\.php$
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.+)$ index.php?dir=/$1&path=/$2 [L]
Two more Example:
Sample1
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?index.php(/.+) index.php?dir=/$1&path=$2 [R,L]
Sample2
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^((.+/)?index.php)(/.+) $1?path=$3 [R,L]
Sample3
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?(.+\.php)(/.+) $1$2?foo=$3 [R,L]
these all do external rewrite so you can see result in the browser address. To revert to internal rewrite, just remove [R] flag
Ok, I found a way to accomplish this goal.
Basically I was trying to compare two server variables. htaccess won't do that. I wanted to extract part of a "pretty" url which points to an actual file or folder. The variable ${SCRIPT_URL} should do that, but it is either depreciated or not reliable. The work around is to put both variables in the test string and use a regex back reference to find the point of duplication.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}%{PATH_INFO} (.*?)(/.+)\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1.php?strappath=%2 [QSA,END]
In the above example %1 will be the uri of the file and %2 will be the remaining path after the URI, duplicating %{PATH_INFO}.
Follow with this rule for when there is no extra path info
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)$ $1.php [QSA,END]
If no .php file is found, I want the index of that directory and add the un-found file name to the pathinfo. This is a bit trickier.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*)(/.+)$
RewriteCond %1 -d
RewriteCond %1/index.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}%{PATH_INFO} ^(.*?)(/.+)\2$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/.+)(/.+)?$
RewriteCond %1 ^(.*)(/.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1/index.php?strappath=%2%{PATH_INFO} [QSA,END]
The above section fails to catch urls that point directly to an existing folder with an index.php, so to catch those:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php -f
RewriteCond ^(.+)$ $1/index.php [QSA,END]
I doubt anyone ever finds this useful but I've seen variations of this question asked over and over with no working solution given.
I'm working on a little custom MVC project in PHP and am having some issues with the htaccess. Originally, my htaccess was routing all traffic to index.php in my root dir, and passing the remaining path as an argument. This was working perfectly with this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
The problem I'm having now is that I need to move the index.php file into a /public directory. I scoured the internet for answers, and found a code snippet that kinda works in that it seems to get there as long as it is just hitting /, but as soon as the url becomes /register/ or anything else it just 404's.
# Get rid of /public/ in the URL, and route all requests through
# the Index.php file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /public/index.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/public/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ public/$1 [L]
I know that last line makes no sense in when there is the rewrite to index.php with ?path that seems proper to me (at least it passes the argument like I want!) but without both these lines it doesn't seem to work, and I've been trial-and-erroring this for hours. Hopefully someone can help out! Cheers!
Keep only this content in your .htaccess:
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?$ public/ [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ public/?path=$1 [L,QSA]
I have been using this following code to rewrite the request variable in a nested directory.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^demos/folder1/page\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^demos/folder1/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ demos/folder1/page.php?slug=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^demos/folder1/([^/]+)$ demos/folder1/page.php?slug=$1 [NC] /* ruins everything, with other links *
This is located in the .htaccess file in the root directory, not /folder1/. Any idea why it would be causing other .php files on the server to not display? I need only requests to /demo/folder1/page.php to be rewritten to /demo/folder1/REQUEST. What am I missing?
Thank you in advance!
Try this code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^demos/folder1/page\.php$ - [L,NC]
# skip all files and directories from rewrite rules below
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^demos/folder1/([^/]+)/?$ demos/folder1/page.php?slug=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
i have a special situation and i can't find a good solution. I've already seen dozens of questions/answers here but none of them seems to solve my problem!
I have an url like this:
https://subdomain.domain.com/{user-name}/{app-name}/
"user-name" and "app-name" can change everytime and i need to redirect it to
index.php?u={user-name}&a={app-name}
But if the url is only https://subdomain.domain.com/{user-name}/ i need to redirect it to
store-list.php?u={user-name} (to show a list of all available apps for that user).
My .htaccess is currently like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /store-list.php?u=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?u=$1&a=$2 [L]
It redirects perfectly on both situations but every call to a "real" file doesn't work (for example a call to a js or css file inside my html).
What am i doing wrong??
Making one RewriteCond Set Apply to Several Rules
Yes, we're really close... but a RewriteCond only applies to one rule. That's what is throwing us off. Let's use some tricky logic and put the conditions in reverse:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L,S=2]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /store-list.php?u=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?u=$1&a=$2 [L]
The conditions say that if the files do exist, leave them unchanged, and to skip the two next rules (S=2).
