HI guys.
Im using mod_rewrite to do some redirects on a web site.
I want to be able to do the following
mySite.com/ -> Goto Home
mySite.com/foo -> Goto redirect.php and redirect acordingly.
My redirect rule was
RewriteRule (^\w*$) redirect.php?url=$1 [NC]
But im oviously missing something because when I go tomySite.com/ I get sent to redirect.php
I need a regex that allow lower and upper case letters, as well as underscores but it has to ignore "empty" strings so when I go to mySite.com/ the index file is displayed.
Any help?
Thanks!
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^index.php index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ redirect.php?url=$1 [NC]
This might work. By the way, you don't have to use () in regex to get $1 which returns everything by default.

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]
I have two url's I'm trying to rewrite, for the past... 4-5 hours (headache now).
I am trying to rewrite
/arts/tag/?tag=keyword
to
/search/art?keywords=keyword
Looking at other questions I formulated my rewrite like this
RewriteRule /arts/tag/?tag=([^&]+) search/art?keywords=$1 [L,R=301,NC]
and
RewriteRule ^arts/tag/?tag=$ /search/art\?keywords=%1? [L,R=301,NC]
I tried with backslashes and without, no luck.
Also tried
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} /arts/tag/?tag=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule .* /search/art\?keywords=%1? [L,R=301,NC]
The second one is similar,
/arts/category?id=1&sortby=views&featured=1
to
/art/moved?id=1&rearrange=view
The reason I change the get variable name is for my own learning purpose as I haven't found any tutorials for my purpose. I also changed category to moved since the categories have changed and I have to internally redirect some ID #'s.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([^&]+) [NC] // I need the path in there though, not just query string, since I'll be redirecting /blogs/category and /art/category to different places.
RewriteRule .* /art/moved/id=%1? [L,R=301,NC]
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Assuming the queries in the original URLs have nothing in common with those in the substitution URLs, maybe this will do what you want, using the first keyin the query as a condition and to identify the incoming URL:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# First case
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \btag\b
RewriteRule .* http://example.com/search/art?keywords=keyword? [L]
Will map this:
http://example.com/arts/tag/?tag=keyword
To this:
http://example.com/search/art?keywords=keyword
# Second case
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \bid\b
RewriteRule .* http://example.com/art/moved?id=1&rearrange=view? [L]
Will map this:
http://example.com/arts/category?id=1&sortby=views&featured=1
To this:
http://example.com/art/moved?id=1&rearrange=view
Both are mapped silently. If the new URL is to be shown in the browser's address bar modify the flags like this [R,L]. Replace R with R=301 for a permanent redirect.
I'm trying to redirect old-style links from an old website to new style links in php.
I'm using:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule s\.cfm?id=5$ http://mysite.com/article5.php [B,L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
However, if I use just s.cfm? everything works fine and redirects to article5.php. But if I try to redirect the id=5 part, I get page not found.
I tried just s.cfm?id and it causes the htaccess bug. So anything you put after question mark ?... causes a problem, I don't know why.
You can't match against the query string inside a RewriteRule, only the URI path is sent through the rule itself. If you need to match against the query string, then use the %{QUERY_STRING} var inside a RewriteCond:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=5$
RewriteRule ^/?s\.cfm$ http://mysite.com/article5.php [L,R=301]
Everything else is fine.
I never want index.php to show up in my URL, even if the user inputs it. Is this possible?
This is variation whatever after several tries. I've come close a few times but this is where it's at for now.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /sub-dir/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} index\.php$ //If URL ends in index.php
RewriteRule (.*)index\.php $1 //Somehow remove index.php from the url
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Currently I have permalink set up where if the user enters domain.com/sub-dir/my-perma-lin/ it generates a string on the page based on my-perma-link to look like My Perma Link. What I'd like is if the user submits any URL ending in index.php it just removes that from the URL but leaves everything else as is.
domain.com/sub-dir/index.php --> domain.com/sub-dir/
domain.com/sub-dir/my-perma-link/index.php --> domain.com/sub-dir/my-perma-link
I've written quite a few rules in http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ that work perfectly but when I upload it (to Dreamhost) nothing works.
This for example should work according to the the tester
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /sub-dir/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.php //Not needed but thought it would/should help
RewriteRule (.*)(index\.php)+ $1 [L,R=301,NC]
But it just removes everything after /sub-dir/
I'm either missing something super obvious or it's not possible ...
You need to add some flags to your rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /sub-dir/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)index\.php(\?|\ )
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
You can ditch the RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} index\.php$ condition, as that's being checked by the regex in the RewriteRule. You need to include a $ at the end of the regex, and include the flags L to stop rewriting and R=301 to redirect.
I still have no answer about this so I'm posting it here.
I want to match an url in the form of root/language/sub/.../document in a .htaccess file and then rewrite it as root/sub/.../document.php?lang=language
Im close to hit but it seems my regexp doesn't 'catch' the input url. Here it is :
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond ^[a-z]{2}.*$/%{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/(.*)$ $2.php?lang=$1
Can someone point me out what is wrong here ? I'm no expert in regexp nor apache rewrites.
Tyvm
* EDIT *
root stands for domain ie mydomain.net
Here are a few examples :
mydomain.net/fr/contact
should be rewriten to
mydomain.net/contact.php?lang=fr
and
mydomain.net/en/articles/view
should be rewriten
mydomain.net/articles/view.php?lang=en
etc...
I believe you are looking for this configuration:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*/|)(en|de|fr)/(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1%3.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*/|)(en|de|fr)/(.*)$ $1$3.php?lang=$2 [NC,QSA,L]
Explanation:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
Checks if requested url is not a directory. If yes, no rewriting will be processed.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*/|)(en|de|fr)/(.*)$ [NC]
Checks if url contains /xx/ part inside, where xx is one en, de or fr. Flag [NC] allows uppercase and lowercase charactes, so for example EN or Fr will be accepted. If there is no such "language" part in the url, no rewriting will be processed.
RewriteCond %1%3.php -f
Checks if %1%3.php file exists, where %1 is (.*/|) and %3 is (.*) matches from the previous RewriteCond ^(.*/|)(en|de|fr)/(.*)$. If such php file does not exist, no rewriting will be processed.
RewriteRule ^(.*/|)(en|de|fr)/(.*)$ $1$3.php?lang=$2 [NC,QSA,L]
In the RewriteRule left condition will be matched if it came to this line, as it was already checked with RewriteCond, so now it will process rewriting to php file, adding lang part, but because there is also [QSA] flag, it will keep also other GET parameters, so lang will be added to existing parameters. Flag [L] says it is last rewriting rule that should apply and no more rewriting will be processed with this url.
Well I'm not sure what root is doing in there, have you tried
RewriteRule ^root/([a-z]{2})/(.*)$ root/$2.php?lang=$1
What's wrong is the second RewriteCond. But your question is vague. If you mean you're trying to convert
root/foo/sub/.../something.php
to
root/sub/.../something.php?lang=foo
then start fidgeting with this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^root/([^/]+)/sub/(.*)/%{REQUEST_FILENAME}$ root/sub/$2/%{REQUEST_FILENAME}?lang=$1
