I'm trying to figure out how to disallow any strings in my URL (I had a problem with an old host allowing ?PHPSESSID strings) and want to avoid any pages with a string to get indexed. Here is my current .htaccess. I've tried a few rules in the beginning that didn't work. Any other thoughts that might force strings back to the last segment?
http://pastie.org/pastes/8660658/text
Have it this way:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
## force a trailing slash ##
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ /$1$2/ [L,R=301]
# strip all query strings
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .+
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}? [L,R=301]
## BEGIN Expression Engine Rewrite ##
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
## END Expression Engine Rewrite ##

I'm struggling to solve a redirection but without any success.
I changed the URLs of my site forcing a default language, before it was site.com/help/ and now it's site.com/en/help/. Thanks to help from Stack Overflow I made the redirection, but then I faced a new problem with the AMP pages: site.com/amp/help/ are now redirected to site.com/en/amp/help/ while they are supposed to be site.com/amp/en/help/.
Again, thanks to help on this site, I changed the structure of URLs to site.com/en/help/amp/ (amp always at the end). To achieve this, I had to delete the .php extension I had in some pages and also decided to remove the trailing slash.
I'm now facing two new issues: the 301 redirection to a non .php page and URLs with trailing slashes to a non trailing slash don't work. Below is my htaccess code.
RewriteEngine on
# amp
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?amp/(.+?)/?$ /$1$2/amp [R=301,NC,L]
## redirect to default language (fr)
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} !200
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/inc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ajax/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/img/
RewriteRule ^(?![a-z]{2}(?:[/-]|$))(.*)$ /fr/$1 [R=301,L,NE]
## Unless directory, remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} !200
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !global.js
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ajax/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !results.php
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php(.*)$ /$1$2 [R=301,NC,NE,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)/amp$ /$1?amp=1 [NC,QSA,L]

## hide .php extention
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !global.js
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
Have it this way:
RewriteEngine on

## hide .php extention
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f

RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
Explanation of this trailing slash rule:
## add trailing slash in front of directories after lang rewrite
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1 -d
RewriteRule ^[a-z]{2}(?:-[a-z]{2})?/(.+[^/])$ /$0/ [L]
Take an example URI: /fr/cart.
In a later rule we remove lang component from URL and pass it as lang=<fr|en> query parameter. Part after lang parameter e.g. /cart doesn't have a trailing slash and if it is a real directory then /cart?lang=fr will be redirected to /cart/?lang=fr by Apache's mod_dir module and your internal URL will be exposed in browser.
So in this current rule we capture part after lang component and check if we don't have a trailing slash and it is a directory then this rule internally rewrites to /fr/cart/ with a trailing slash. Later rule then rewrites it to /cart/?lang=fr and mod_dir doesn't redirect anymore.
#anubhava's solution works perfectly well except for one little case: /fr/amp/page.php redirects to /fr/page.php/amp, I had to make some changed to the code and managed to make it work. Below is the updated code with small changes I made:
1- removed some slashes at the end of some rules as I don't need them any more
2- removed this rule RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/amp/$ [NC]
3- to fix the .php problem, I replaced RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ /$1/ [R=301,NC,NE,L] by RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php(.*)$ /$1$2 [R=301,NC,NE,L].
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
In my .htaccess file, I would like to remove the trailing slash from the URL without modifying the current setup for the query string.
I tried this in a two-step fashion, but it's not working as I expect:
# Remove trailing slash
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ $1 [R=301]
# Create query string from canonical URL
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
Cheers
You can use:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /site/dev/
## Unless directory, remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/$ $1 [R=302,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
My goal is to redirect any url such as http://mydomain.com/somename to http://mydomain.com/somename.html except for http://mydomain.com/name1 and http://mydomain.com/name2 For these two, I wish to redirect them to http://mydomain.com/main.php?g1=name1 (or name2, etc). If these later two have two or three more directories in the URL (i.e. http://mydomain.com/name1/val2/val3), I wish to add them as individual GET values such as http://mydomain.com/main.php?g1=name1&g2=val2&g3=val3. I would like the browser to keep showing the directory path, and not something like http://mydomain.com/somename.html.
Below is my unsuccessful attempt. How can I accomplish this? Thank you

You have the right idea in most places, but you need to change the order of your rules to match more specific stuff before less specific stuff. Generally, I'm allowing a trailing / in the rules below via /?. Remove that from the end if you won't permit a trailing / to be matched.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# This should be fine as you have it....
## If the request is for a valid directory, file, or link, don't do anything
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# Reverse your rule order here.
# First match name1|name2 with an optional trailing /
# but nothing else following...
RewriteRule ^(name1|name2)/?$ main.php?g1=$1 [L,QSA]
# Two additional dirs
RewriteRule ^(name1|name2)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ main.php?g1=$1&g2=$2&g3=$3 [L,QSA]
# Three additional dirs
RewriteRule ^(name1|name2)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ main.php?g1=$1&g2=$2&g3=$3&g4=$4 [L,QSA]
# Last, do the generic rule to rewrite to .html
# using [^.]+ to match anything not including a .
# You could be more specific with something like [a-z]+ if that
# corresponds to your expected input
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [L,QSA]
If you wanted to check that the URI is not name1, name2 in a condition, use an [AND] which is implicit:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/name1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/name2
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [L,QSA]
I need to replace '_' to '+' in query string than redirect:
site.com/abc_def/
to
site.com/search.php?q=abc+def
I tried this
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/((.*)\_(.*))?$ /search.php?q=$1+$2 [R=301,L]
These are 2 rules that should work for you:
RewriteEngine On
# first replace _ by + recursively
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^_]*)_(.*)$ /$1+$2 [L]
# once all _s are gone, rewrite to /search.php?q=<search>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^_]+)$ /search.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
I have the following in my htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Check to see if the URL points to a valid file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Trailing slash check
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
# Add slash if missing & redirect
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L,R=301]
# Check to see if the URL points to a valid file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Send to index.php for clean URLs
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
This does work. It hides index.php, and it adds a trailing slash... except when there is a query string.
This URL:
http://example.com/some-page
gets redirected to:
http://example.com/some-page/
but this URL:
http://example.com/some-page?some-var=foo&some-other-var=bar
does not get redirected. I would like for the above to be sent to:
http://example.com/some-page/?some-var=foo&some-other-var=bar
I've reached the limits of my understanding of redirects with this. If you have a working answer, I would really appreciate a walkthrough of what every line is doing and why it works. Double bonus awesomeness for an explanation of why what I have right now doesn't work when there is a query string involved.
Try adding a [QSA] to the end of the last Redirect rule to preserve the original query string as below
# Send to index.php for clean URLs, preserve original query string
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
a walkthrough of what every line is doing and why it works.
See my comments below
#turn mod_rewrite engine on.
RewriteEngine On
#set the base for urls here to /
RewriteBase /
### if the is not a request for an existing file or directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
### and the URI does not end with a /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
### redirect and add the slash.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L,R=301]
### if the is not a request for an existing file or directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# rewrite to index.php passing the URI as a path, QSA will preserve the existing query string
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
I believe that if you change this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L,R=301]
to this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^([^?]*)/($|\?)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) $1/ [L,R=301]
then it should do what you want.
The changes I made are:
In both rewrite-condition and -rule, I changed (.*) and ^(.*) to ^([^?]*), to ensure that, if there's a query-string, then it is not included in either regex. ([^…] means "any character that is not in …", so [^?] means "any character that is not a question mark".)
In the rewrite-condition, I changed $ to ($|\?), so as to match either end-of-URL or end-of-part-before-the-query-string.
In the rewrite-rule, I dropped the $, since it was no longer needed.
