I got stuck at this point here, and I'm breaking my head trying to figure out why its not working!
This is want to get the url to look like
example.com/news/top/
from
example.com/index.php?view=news&task=top
but i need it that way that "task" can be something diffrent like
example.com/index.php?view=news&task=newest
example.com/index.php?view=news&task=help
example.com/index.php?view=news&task=write
....
current .htaccess looks like:
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+) index.php?view=$1&task=$2
If I visit www.example.com/news/ -> it only loads the index.php but does not pass ?view=news
If I visit www.example.com/news/top/ -> it works just fine.
But I need them both to work, adding a new line to .htaccess like :
RewriteRule ^news/ index.php?view=news
then visiting www.example.com/news/ works fine, but visiting www.example.com/news/top/ it will not be possible to get the value of task.
Please help me!
Thank you in advance.
Try adding these rules to the htaccess file in your document root:
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect access to index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /index\.php\?view=([^&]+)&task=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2/? [L,R=301]
# rewrite to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?view=$1&task=$2 [L]
The first redirects requests like /index.php?view=news&task=foo to /news/foo/. Then the second rule internally rewrites requests like /news/foo/ back to /index.php?view=news&task=foo.
If all of your links already look like /news/foo/, then you won't need the first rule.
I'm no htaccess veteran, but something like this might work:
RewriteRule /news/(.*) /index.php?view=news&task=$1 [L]
This should rewrite all requests to /news/abc to index.php?task=news&view=abc. The backreference $1 stands for the first pattern in the RegEx that is surrounded by parentheses.
