I am handling some urls with the htaccess like below
B)https://www.example.com/online/development/id
Rules:
RewriteRule ^online/(.*)/(.*)$ filename.php?key=$2 [L]
But Now I want to use some urls like below:-
https://www.example.com/development/id
How Can I do this?
You can use this rule-
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)$ filename.php?key=$2 [QSA,L]
Your regex matches:
^ - start of the input (the part after HOST)online/ - the literal char sequence online/(.*) - any 0+ chars, as many as possible, up to the last.../ - slash,(.*) - Group 2: any zero or more chars up to the...$ - end of input.So, the regex can have arbitrary number of subparts in the path.
If you need to limit the number of subparts, use a negated character class based regex:
RewriteRule ^[^/]*/([^/]*)$ filename.php?key=$1 [L]
The [^/]+ matches 1+ chars other than /. Since you are not using Group 1, I recommend removing the first set of ( and ) and use $1 in the replacement.
Now, the regex matches:
^ - start of input[^/]* - zero or more chars other than / (the [^...] is called a negated character class)/ - a slash([^/]*) - Group 1: see above$ - end of input.And that means there can be only 1 slash in the path.
