Question

I have a .htaccess file which right now looks like this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*).org$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://foo.com/$2 [R=301,L]

Is it possible to put a variable in for the “foo.com” bit to just redirect to the same domain that was input, but with .com instead of .org?

Answer 1

Reading the documentation usually helps: RewriteRule directive

In addition to plain text, the Substitution string can include

• back-references ($N) to the RewriteRule pattern
• back-references (%N) to the last matched RewriteCond pattern
• server-variables as in rule condition test-strings (%{VARNAME})
• mapping-function calls (${mapname:key|default})
