Question

I am facing issues with two similar friendly urls. I have mentioned the following lines in htaccess.

RewriteRule ^user/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+) /sitename/profile.php?id_profile=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^user/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/articles /sitename/articles.php?id_profile=$1 [QSA,N]

When I try to access the second url, it redirects back to the first url. I guess the very first part ‘user’ is causing this issue.

Here id_profile is a string. In the php file, i fetch the corresponding user id (integer) for id_profile and perform the rest of the action.

Here is a similar working example.
https://www.etsy.com/people/vinubhai
https://www.etsy.com/people/vinubhai/favorites

I want to make it work like the etsy one. Please do help.

Thanks and Regards,

Answer 1

first rule gets processed first. chang the order of your rules and your problem should be solved.

first the articles rewrite, then the user general rewrite.
