Question

I’m having some problems in my .htaccess file.

I would like to display the content of this URL:

http://mywebsite.com/admin/payments/invoices/view/index.php?id=123456

When I access this one:

http://mywebsite.com/admin/payments/invoices/view/123456/

Here’s my actual .htaccess

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /admin/payments/invoices/
RewriteRule ^/view/([0-9]+)/(index.php)?$ /view/index.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

Do you have any idea?

Thanks!

If you do have the view directory, then the easiest thing is to put this .htaccess in that directory (i.e. {DOCUMENT_ROOT}/admin/payments/invoices/view/.htaccess):

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /admin/payments/invoices/view
RewriteRule ^(\d+)$  index.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

The index.php in the left side hand of the RewriteRule is not required (actually, I expect it not to work: the DirectoryIndex should not yet have been injected in the URI at this stage – unless some other RewriteRule is in effect?), nor is the / at the end of the RewriteBase.

I tested the above on Apache/2.2.21, but the module rules are the same for later versions.
