Question

I read a lot of Q&As here but failed to find a working solution. I want to change the URL from a flat link syntax to a “regular” query.

How do I get from this:

http://localhost/start/__developer/pages/12016652

to this:

http://localhost/start/__developer/pages/suche.php?objektnr=12016652

by either means of htaccess or PHP? Disregard the curlies please. Thanks in advance for your support!

At this point I’m trying this:

Options        +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine  On
RewriteCond    %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond    %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteBase    /start/__developer/immo-shg-v4/pages/
RewriteRule    ^([0-9]+)$ suche.php?objektnr=$1 [QSA,L,NC]

Solution:

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ suche.php?objektnr=$1 [L,NC,NE,R]

The [R] flag forces a redirect.

Enable .htaccess through your httpd.conf it is not already enabled and put these lines in the .htaccess file in DOCUMENT_ROOT folder:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# If the request is not for a valid file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# If the request is not for a valid directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f    
#This is your redirect rule
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !(?:^|&)objektnr=([^&]*)(?:&|$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(start/__developer/pages/)([^/]*) $1suche.php?objektnr=$2 [L,NC,QSA]

As per your comments below have another RewriteRule like this:

# If the request is not for a valid file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# If the request is not for a valid directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !(?:^|&)objektnr=([^&]*)(?:&|$) [NC]
#This is your modified redirect rule
RewriteRule ^(start/__developer/immo-shg-v4/pages/)([^/]*) $1suche.php?objektnr=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
