Should be simple

Hi,
How do i re-write my intial URL (index.php) to include a variable -->
'index.php?id=home'

This should happen on the initial page load...

Since its the index page it is hidden at first but it should still be able to carry a variable.


Thanks 8)

Do you want to see that the id=home is added?

Try
Code: Select all
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

# If the query string is empty.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ /index.php?id=home [R=301,L]

Thanks!!

It partially worked:
I had to use the entire URL because i used a folder and not the site ROOT.

RewriteRule ^(http://www.site.com/myproject/index\.php)?$ http://www.site.com/myproject/index.php?id=home

Is that valid?

The RewriteRule matches the part of the URL after the current directory (that the .htaccess file is in) up to the query string.

If the .htaccess file is in /myproject you want
Code: Select all
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ /myproject/index.php?id=home [R=301,L]


If your .htaccess file is in your document root you want
Code: Select all
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^myproject/(index\.php)?$ /myproject/index.php?id=home [R=301,L]
