Question

What I want to accomplish:

mysite.com/webdevelopment/ = webdevelopment.php

mysite.com/webdevelopment/websites = websites.php

Also:

mysite.com/internetmarketing/ = internetmarketing.php

mysite.com/internetmarketing/seo = seo.php

My question is: how to do it with .htaccess? I know how to rewrite url’s , but when I use:

internetmarketing/seo$ seo.php , it does not work like it should. Could you explain to me how I can achieve what I want?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Assuming your using Apache you can do something like this in a .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine on

# /%1 -> /%1.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/]+)/$
RewriteRule . /%1.php [L]

# /%1/%2 -> /%2.php but require that %1.php exists
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$
RewriteRule . /%2.php [L]
