Question

Talking about converting ugly URLs to friendly URLs with the .htaccess file:

Do you know how to convert this?

http://www.domainname.com.co/index.php?tpl=contenido&categoria=noticias-afic&id=35&alias=article-title

… into this?

http://www.domainname.com.co/contenido/noticias-afic/35/article-title

The URL changes dynamically.

Thanks for your answers.

Answer 1

Try adding the following to your .htaccess file in the root of your domain

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)$ index.php?tpl=$1&categoria=$2&id=$3&alias=$4 [L]

It should allow you to access http://www.domainname.com.co/index.php?tpl=contenido&categoria=noticias-afic&id=35&alias=article-title using http://www.domainname.com.co/contenido/noticias-afic/35/article-title
