Question

I just want to get a quick htaccess redirection. ie:

domain.com/subfolderGreen –> domain.com/index.php?folder=subfolderGreen

(note that the subfolderGreen actually exists)

I’ve been trying but couldn’t get to the regex needed.

thanks.
a.

ADDED:

Sorry, i want this to work for any subfolder, not just “subfolderGreen”
I’m using

RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?folder=$1 [L]

but it’s not working.
any clues?

Answer 1

I would think your example would cause an endless loop since /index.php matches what you are doing. Try this:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?folder=$1 [L]

If you want it to work for all directories that exist, this will probably work as well.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ /index.php?folder=$1 [L]
