Postby mindhunter77 » Mon Oct 13, 2008 4:56 pm

I'm new to this but I can't seem to figure out how to do this


this is the URL structure

Code: Select all
/forum/gallery/browseimages.php?c=38&userid=


Now I would like to remove the

Code: Select all
&userid=


I'm lost lol..

Also, the number (in this case 38 ) will be different most of the time.

Try
Code: Select all
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^((.*&)?c=.+)&userid=$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^userid=&((.*&)?c=.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(forum/gallery/browseimages\.php)$ /$1?%1 [R=301,L]

it didn't work, no error message or anything, just didn't do anything.

I'm not entirely sure your code is wrong though. Going to play with some settings and use this code you gave me as a guide.

Where are you putting the mod_rewrite? It should go in a .htaccess file in your document root (it can be changed to work in sub directories).

Try
Code: Select all
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(?:(.*)&)?userid=&?$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^&?userid=&(.+)$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)&userid=&(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(forum/gallery/browseimages\.php)$ /$1?%1%2 [R=301,L]

Try adding
Code: Select all
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(?:(.*)&)?userid=&?$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^&?userid=&(.+)$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)&userid=&(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(gallery/browseimages\.php)$ /forum/$1?%1%2 [R=301,L]

after
Code: Select all
RewriteEngine On

in /forum/.htaccess.
