I thought that apache mod_rewrite would hide the URL that is being redirected to. i.e. if a user enters http://site.com/iPhone and i’ve set it up to redirect to http://site.com/search.php?search=iPhone I would have expected that http://site.com/iPhone would still be displayed in the address bar?
.htaccess file is:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^search/(.*) search.php?search=$1 [R] </IfModule> Have I got this completely confused?
The
[R]modifier causes the response to be redirected to the new URL, rather than handled in-place. Ditch that, and it ought to work (any other problems notwithstanding).When I’m doing URL rewriting, I like to keep the
mod_rewritecheat sheet from Added Bytes (formerly ILoveJackDaniels) to hand.
