Question

I have searched some on this site but couldn’t find a right answer to my question.

I am trying to force a www redirect and forcing an endslash on each url.

I have the following lines in my htaccess:

# enable rewriting
RewriteEngine on

# if not a file or folder, use index.php
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [L]

# force www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www
RewriteRule .? http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

# force endslash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule (.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [L,R=301]

My www redirect is working fine, it will go like:

http://example.com 

to 

http://www.example.com

But now the strange part is, my end slash line is adding the url parameter which I don’t want.

So this will go like:

http://www.example.com/path/without/endlash 

to 

http://www.example.com/index.php/?url=path/without/endslash

Why is it that my defined url parameter is used in this case, and how can I prevent this.

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

thanks to icrew

Only added no-file/no-dir before the endlash entry because otherwise it would redirect my assets.

Final code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www
RewriteRule .? http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.php
RewriteRule (.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

This part of .htaccess

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [L]

is responsible for http://www.example.com/index.php/?url=path/without/endslash redirection. So basicly if you do not want url parameter in query string remove those three lines.

Edit: I figure out what you wanted. Bellow is correct code

# enable rewriting
RewriteEngine on

# force www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www
RewriteRule .? http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

# force endslash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
#next row prevent redirection if final rewriting is done
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.php 
RewriteRule (.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [L,R=301]

# if not a file or folder, use index.php
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
#QSA because I suppose you dont want to discard the existing query string. Remove QSA if you want to discard
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
