Question

I have a website and I’m trying to rewrite it’s url.

It’s pretty simple, but i’m not understanding how to do it.

The pages are the next ones:

http://localhost/site/index.php?p=home, etc. home is a parameter, and rewrite should be like this: http://localhost/site/home.html

http://localhost/site/section.php?id=someid and i want it to be like http://localhost/site/the-name-of-the-section-from-database-SOMEID

http://localhost/site/product.php?id=someid and i want it to be like http://localhost/site/category-name/product-name-SOMEID

I think it’s simple, but I still don’t understand how to do it. Please, help me.

Thanks!

Put these lines in your ROOT .htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^site/(home)\.html/?$ site/index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

# Assuming hyphen is not in the section name
RewriteRule ^site/.*-(.*)/?$ site/section.php?id=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

# Assuming hyphen is not in the product name
RewriteRule ^site/[^/]*/.*-(.*)/?$ site/product.php?id=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
