Question

How do I use wildcards to reference the same directory in my rule? I need blog_name to be the wild card, so the script checks if there is a file in the old_site directory and if it is, rewrites to it. Currently it works for one directory:

RewriteRule ^blog_name/([^/\.]+) old_site/blog_name/$1.php [NC,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

So I need blog_name to be ANY directory:

RewriteRule ^[*wildcard_dir*]/([^/\.]+) old_site/[*wildcard_dir*]/$1.php [NC,QSA]

Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)/([^/\.]+) old_site/$1/$2.php [NC,QSA]
