Question

I want that when person types:

quizz.pl/emit/myvariable

server will call file emit.php and pass myvariable as the f parameter:

quizz.pl/emit.php?f=myvariable

I need it to work only when person types “emit”.

How to acomplish it using htaccess?

Answer 1

Try this code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^/?emit/(.*)$ emit.php?f=$1
</IfModule>

The IfModule tag will check that the rules are only executed when mod_rewrite is installed. The second line activates the RewriteEngine. The third line will set the base for you. The next two lines check that if there is a directory or a file which has the same name will be returned instead of some url rewriting.

The RewriteRule does the real magic it checks if the url beings with emit and puts everything after as a parameter to your emit.php.
