mod_rewrite question

Barrucadu · 11-01-2006, 02:52 PM

I want to make all my url's in the form "index.php?p=<name of page>&<additional info>" into "<name of page>.php?<additional info>"

I have figured out the regex to match all my pagess (i think)

Code:

index.php?p=[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,}&[a-zA-Z0-9&=]{1,}

How would I get that into mod_rewrite format?

Erm lemme see if i can remember this right...

Code:

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.php?([a-zA-Z0-9&=]+)$ index.php?p=$1&catid=$1&$2 [L]

Thats how you said you wanted it. Although it might be easier if you just did:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php?(.*)$ index.php?p=$1&$2 [L]

Although then again if you did the & sign for <name of page>&<additional info> you would need a second variable.

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php?(.*)$ index.php?p=$1&additionalinfo=$2 [L]

^^^
That is how i would do it. Be sure to enclose that rule in tags like:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

and then closing tags like:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/253280-mod_rewrite-question.html

Code:

</IfModule>

mod_rewrite enable "path/<name of page>/<additional info>.html" for your better search engine results right?

Yeah that would be better masking it as a html, but if he wants to keep it as a php file then fine

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=253280

For example on one of my gaming sites i use mod_rewrite:

Code:

RewriteRule ^showcat/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.*)\.html$ index.php?action=showcat&catid=$1&parentid=$2 [L]

so if they do games/showcat/(catid)/(gameid)/(gamenamejustfordisplay).html

it will redirect it all to the php file. Very fun to do ^^
