Do you have access to the httpd.conf file? If you do not, you cannot do that redirect with mod_rewrite because it cannot find/guess the "florist-in-barnet/debbie-killoran" part of the link on it's own. So you will need to do it with PHP instead.

If you do have access to the httpd.conf file you can use a RewriteMap.

You don't need access to the php.ini file. You either need access to the httpd.conf file or to use PHP (eg. edit view_profile.php or create a new .php file).

You could have a mod_rewrite such as

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^view_profile/([0-9]+)/[^/]+/[^/]+/?$ /view_profile.php?bni_id=$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?bni_id=[0-9]+(&.*)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^view_profile\.php$ /view_profile_redirect.php [QSA,L]

and then in view_profile_redirect.php you would have something like

Code: Select all

<?php

if(isset($_GET['bni_id']) && !empty($_GET['bni_id']))
{
  $user_id = intval($_GET['bni_id']);
  $redirect_url = 'http://' . getenv('HTTP_HOST') . '/view_profile/' . $user_id . '/';

  // Search your database using the user_id variable to get the users information.
  $user_info_1 = ...; // eg. florist-in-barnet
  $user_info_2 = ...; // eg. debbie-killoran

  // Do a 301 redirect.
  header('Location: ' . $redirect_url . $user_info_1 . '/' . $user_info_2 . '/', true, 301);
  exit();
}
else
{
  header('Location: http://' . getenv('HTTP_HOST') . '/', true, 301);
}

There are bits missing in the above. You must make it search your (i presume) database to find the relevant information.
