I tried hiding my .php extensions with .htaccess at first.. It did work fine after including this in the file
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
and also including this in my function.php
//==== Strip .php extension from requested URI
function strip_php_extension()
{
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$ext = substr(strrchr($uri, '.'), 1);
if ($ext == 'php')
{
$url = substr($uri, 0, strrpos($uri, '.'));
redirect($url);
}
}
//==== Redirect. Try PHP header redirect, then Java, then http redirect
function redirect($url)
{
if (!headers_sent())
{
/* If headers not yet sent => do php redirect */
header('Location: '.$url);
exit;
}
else
{
/* If headers already sent => do java redirect */
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
echo 'window.location.href="'.$url.'";';
echo '</script>';
/* If java is disabled => do html redirect */
echo '<noscript>';
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url='.$url.'" />';
echo '</noscript>';
exit;
}
}
Thing is the url for dynamic pages did not change.. I still have page.php?p=5 and blog.php?post=5 not changing to page?p=5 and blog?post=5..
I do want to change the above dynamic pages url to something nice like www.yourdomian.com/5 for page.php and www.yourdomain.com/blog/5 for the blog, but this is not reading it from my ReWrite rule in htacces
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ page.php?p=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ page.php?p=$1
Kindly point me in the right direction as to what am doing wrong. and how to fix it.
You can use these rules in /MyApp/.htaccess:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /MyApp/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /page\.php\?([a-z])=([^&\s]+)
RewriteRule ^ %1/%2? [R=302,NE,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /blog\.php\?post=([^&\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ blog/%1? [R=302,NE,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^blog/([^/]+)/?$ blog.php?post=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-z])/([^/.]+)/?$ page.php?$1=$2 [L,QSA]
