Question

I have searched for this but nobody have the same issue..

Now I need an code to transform the ugly url (thats what i have) to the nice url:

• Ugly url: domain.com/aanmelden?referral=admin
• Nice url: domain.com/aanmelden/admin

Ik have tried soo many codes, but no one did work for me. ):

suggestions?
Thnx!

(My current htaccess: )

ErrorDocument 401 /errordocs/401.php
ErrorDocument 403 /errordocs/403.php
ErrorDocument 404 /errordocs/404.php
ErrorDocument 500 /errordocs/500.php

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain.nl$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.nl/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$ 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\s.+\.php\sHTTP/.+
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php $1 [R=301,L]

Where and what i need to place?

EDIT:

To be clear:

• If the user goes to the Nice Url, they wil stay on the nice one.
• If the user goes to the Ugly Url, they wil redirect to the Nice url.

Answer 1

This is a trivial rewrite:

If admin can be any lowercase string, use the pattern ([a-z]+)$ to capture one or more lowercase letters after the / and before the end of the request URI.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^aanmelden/([a-z]+)$ aanmelden?referral=$1 [L]

If admin is really only admin, you can hard-code it as

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^aanmelden/admin aanmelden?referral=admin [L]

Update

In context of your existing rewrites just posted, you’ll need to add this rule before the rule that adds .php since that would also match this pattern.

# Do this before the rule that adds .php
# Also added condition so this doesn't apply to real files...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^aanmelden/([a-z]+)$ aanmelden?referral=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$ 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

Update 2

If you want the end user to get the ugly URL and rewrite it to the nice one, use:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_QUERYSTRING} referral=([a-z]+)
RewriteRule ^aanmelden aanmelden/%1 [L]
