mod_rewrite

TlcAndres · 04-02-2008, 02:54 PM

Well I've worked with it before but this time it's just not cooperating. I need to turn this..

http://domain.com/index.php/member/foo/this

into

http://domain.com/index/member/foo/this

I got the impression it would be something like this
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/

I may be wrong about this, but shouldn't it be the other way around?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/([A-Za-z]+)/ /$1.php

You'll probably want something more along the lines of:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On

	# Redirect all requests to index.php
	# if file doesn't exist
	# and directory doesn't exist
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule ^index/(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

The RewriteCond lines make sure that the rewriting only happens if the URL is not otherwise normally accessible (useful for images, CSS, etc.). The RewriteRule line rewrites URIs starting with index/ as you requested.

Well, do there really have to show that index?

ie.

Code:

http://domain.com/member/foo/this

and we call it like this

Code:

http://domain.com/index.php?mode=member&cat=foo&do=this

We put htaccess like this

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?mode=$1&cat=$2&do=$3 [QSA,L]

I don't know how familiar you are whit mod_rewrite so I try explain something about that.
In the end you find those tags, if I recall correct QSA allows more definitions in url end (domain.com/member/foo/this/?newdef=likethis)
and L says that rule ends there.

If you like, you can do all your files look like "folders".. Well I put some examples bellow:

Code:

http://domain.com/customers.php => http://domain.com/customers/

or

Code:

http://domain.com/folder/mypanel.php => http://domain.com/folder/mypanel/

do

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])/?$ $1.php [L,QSA]

As you can see, the are those tags again so you can add more definitions in urls end if you like or add new rules in htaccess.

Hope these help you and please don't kill me if won't work as it is presented in your system. Those should because I use them ATM! ;)

I never really got mod_rewrite, do those codes work for every variable, or do you need to change it depending on the get variables you want to pass?
