How to make this

[visi0n]

Hi,

How are the rules used in .htaccess to convert

this: www.example.com/playsong.php?id=1

in this: www.example.com/paysong/1/

Thanks.

[enovar]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^paysong/([^/]*)$ /paysong.php?id=$1 [L]

[visi0n]

not working

[enovar]

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^paysong/([^/]*)$ /paysong.php?id=$1 [L]

Make sure do you have mod_rewrite enable on the apache server
(httpd.conf)

the example is:
www.example.com/paysong/1
(with no slash at the end)

Note: Don´t expect that the url appears like this above, you must enter or create a link,
example:
<a href="www.example.com/paysong/1">paysong</a>

To allow for a trailing slash, only match numbers and not be affected by MultiViews

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^paysong/([0-9]+)/$ /paysong.php?id=$1 [L]

I've been looking for a similar solution, and I happened to come across this thread, which I've found useful.

I'm simply running a test at the moment to see if it's feasible.

I'd like to convert a uri, such as http://www.somedomain.com/accounts/?user=178&x=9, to http://www.somedomain.com/accounts/178/?x=9

I have the following in my .htaccess file, which is in the root dir.

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymlinks All -Indexes -MultiViews
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^accounts/([0-9]+)/\?page=([0-9]+)$ /accounts/?user=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>


Of course it doesn't work. Nothing happens.

I have tried a different solution...

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}%{QUERY_STRING} ^/accounts/?user=([0-9]+)&(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^accounts/.*$ /accounts/%1/?%2 [L]

but this returns the mesage 'The requested URL /accounts/76048/ was not found on this server.' The odd thing about that solution is that I couldn't even get as far as the 404 unless I used %{REQUEST_URI} and %{QUERY_STRING} in the RewriteCon, but if I echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] through PHP, it prints /accounts/?user=178&x=9, which is what you'd expect.

Your help would be appreciated.

I should noted that I've tried the Google test to see if mod_rewrite is actualy working, and it is.

REQUEST_URI in Apache does not include the query string but it does in PHP.

You don't need to match the other (page, x) parameters, the QSA (Query String Append) flag passes them on

Code: Select all

Options  All
Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes -MultiViews

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On

  RewriteRule ^accounts/([0-9]+)/?$ /accounts/?user=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

REQUEST_URI in Apache does not include the query string but it does in PHP.

Ah ok. The reason I thought that Apache REQUEST_URI contained the query string was because I've read that it did on another site, but it obviously doesn't, like you say.

Anyway, I've run the amended RewriteRule that you kindly posted, and it initially didn't work, but I then remembered your previous post to OP about the Uri format in the anchor tag should be written as you intend it to be displayed, so that's what I did and... it works, so thanks very much for you help.
