I have a simple profile system in place that has a URL re-write that changes URLs like:
www.domain.com/profile.php?id=user
To:
www.domain.com/user
Using:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ profile.php?id=$1 [L]
That being said, how would I change the URL:
www.domain.com/something/index.php
To:
www.domain.com/something
Without disrupting the profile URL setup? Would I just put the rewrite higher up in the .htaccess file? Thank you for helping a rookie out.
If something is not constant it is not possible to do that, you need to use another url pattern like www.domain.com/page/something. However, if the `something constant, you can use;
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond !^something [NC]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ profile.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteCond ^something [NC]
RewriteRule ^something something/index.php [L]
If you use different url pattern like ;
www.domain.com/page/something you can use;
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^page/([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ $1/index.php [L]
You can use this rule to remove /index.php from any where:
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index\.php$ /$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
