I have a site where I am trying to change the urls using mod_rewrite

  • 0

I have a site where I am trying to change the urls using mod_rewrite from:

/directory/filename.php to directory/filename/

/directory/filename.php?id=7 to directory/filename/7/

/directory/filename.php?id=7&file_id=1 to directory/filename/7/1/

I am not able to work out the regular expressions to use for these pages though. Here is the entire .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On    # Turn on the rewriting engine

RewriteRule  ^(.*)/?$ /directory/$1 [L] #Rewrite a page without $_GET variables
RewriteRule  ^([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /directory/$1?id=$2 [L] #Rewrite a page with 1 $_GET variables
RewriteRule  ^([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /directory/$1?id=$2&file_id=$3 [L] #Rewrite a page with 2 $_GET variables

    If the .htaccess is in the directory folder then the directory/ path prefix will be stripped for you and you do not need to bother about it in the rewrite rules.

    You could use something like:

    RewriteEngine On    # Turn on the rewriting engine

RewriteRule  ^([^/.]+)/?$ $1.php [L] # rewrite without query string parameters
RewriteRule  ^([^/.]+)/(\d+)/?$ $1.php?id=$2 [L] # one parameter
RewriteRule  ^([^/.]+)/(\d+)/(\d+)/?$ $1.php?id=$2&file_id=$3 [L] # two parameters
