Question

everyone..

I have problem in my URL. I rewrite my URL like this friendly url.

http://www.lankainstitute.com/1289/Mahesh Jayarathna HTTP/1./?1

But end of my url this string “HTTP/1./?1” has added..

can anybody tell me why is this???

this is from my .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /profiles/tutors/index.php\?tutorCode=([0-9]+)&tutorName=([^&]+)&?([^\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^profiles/tutors/index\.php /%1/%2/?%3 [R=301,L,NE]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/(.+)/$ /profiles/tutors/index.php?tutorCode=$1&tutorName=$2 [L,QSA]

any comments are greatly appreciated..

thank you.

You need to tweak your regular expression in the %{THE_REQUEST} match. When there isn’t anything after the tutorName=something query string parameter, the space before the HTTP/1.1 in the request never gets matched so it ends up as part of the ([^&]+) grouping. Try tweaking the regex to look like this (and note in the rule, the backreference needs to be changed to %4):

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /profiles/tutors/index.php\?tutorCode=([0-9]+)&tutorName=([^&\ ]+)(&([^\ ]+))?
RewriteRule ^profiles/tutors/index\.php /%1/%2/?%4 [R=301,L,NE]
