Question

I have a multilanguage site and I’m trying to rewrite the URL’s with a fake directory something like this:

http://localhost/theSite/page.php?id=param&cat=param?lang=en,fr,es
to http://localhost/theSite/(en|fr|es)/page/param/param

.htaccess
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(fr|en|en)/(.*) $2.php?id=$1&cat=$2&lang=$3 [NL,QSA]

This resolves as a 404 error.

Any help will be apreciate.

Answer 1

RewriteRule ^(en|fr|es)/(.*?)/(.*?)/(.*) $2.php?id=$3&cat=$4&lang=$1 [NC,QSA]

I suppose you meant NC (no case), not NL. You referred to capture groups that didn’t exist and repeated $2.
