Question

I have a .htaccess that sends these urls:

http://example.com/this/is/test/

to index.php that gets the url like this:

index.php?var1=this&var2=is&var3=test

All I want to do is change the / to :means the url will be like this:

http://example.com/this:is:test

that sends the variables to index page just like before. Here’s my .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/]+)?/?([^/]+)?/?([^/]+)?/?   [NC]
RewriteRule .*     index.php?var1=%1&var2=%2&var3=%3   [L]

Answer 1

You shouldn’t use %{REQUEST_URI} to match parts. So, in order to make what you want you have to change your / to :. I’ll also use a better syntax.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/([^:]+):([^:]+):([^/]+)/? index.php?var1=$1&var2=$2&var3=$3 [L]
