This question already has an answer here:
I have a URL
http://example.com/test/search.php?id=SearchWord
And i want to change this into
http://example.com/test/SearchWord
Now i tried somethings with .htaccess but i couldn't get it work because i need to $_GET['id'].
I have a if function that checks on $_GET['id'].
How do i do this with the new short URL and how to shorten the URL ?
</div>
Try this ...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ search.php?id=$1
You can do this using mod_rewrite in apache.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritebase
This will let you set a RegEx for the requested URL and forward it to a different URL!
In your .htaccess, give this a try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^test/(.*)$ /test/search.php?id=$1 [L]
