Generic Rule to Redirect and Rewrite URL using .htaccess
Posted on 2016-09-21
Hi,
I want to redirect and then rewrite my URL (internal forwarding) so that it doesn't show the php extension as well it doesn't show the ?, = and & in the URL.
The solution for that was provided for a single script in the question https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28969579/Redirect-and-Rewrite-URL-using-htaccess.html by Terry Woods.
In this question i want to achieve the same but instead of adding Rewrite Rules for every script individually i just add one generic rule which applies to all the scripts. Below is the example.
The URL http://localhost/portal/SCRIPTNAME.php?var1=val1 be redirected i.e. show in address bar as http://localhost/portal/SCRIPTNAME.php/var1/val1 and internally it is forwarded to the actual URL http://localhost/portal/SCRIPTNAME.php?var1=val1
The SCRIPTNAME.php can be any name for ex. "error.php" or "admin.php" etc. as well as there can be multiple $_GET variables in a single URL for ex: http://localhost/portal/SCRIPTNAME.php?var1=val1&v
Also there is no pattern in the naming of the $_GET variables or values.
Kindly let me know if any more information is required
Thanks in advance

This seems to work for me:
Loading URL:
http://localhost/portal/script.php?error=foo¶m2=blah¶m3=rhubarb
Redirects me to:
http://localhost/portal/script.php/error/foo/param2/blah/param3/rhubarb
And gave this result of $_GET parameters from my portal/script.php ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is output in the first line):
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !redirect=done
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^((?!redirect)\w+)=([^&]+)(?:&(.*))? [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*/\w+\.php)(/[\w/]+)? $1$2/%1/%2?%3 [NC,R=302,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^((?:(?!&?redirect=done).)*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*/\w+\.php)([^?]*/)([^/?]+)/([^/?]+) $1$2?$3=$4&%1&redirect=done [NC,L]
Loading URL:
http://localhost/portal/script.php?error=foo¶m2=blah¶m3=rhubarb
Redirects me to:
http://localhost/portal/script.php/error/foo/param2/blah/param3/rhubarb
And gave this result of $_GET parameters from my portal/script.php ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is output in the first line):
/portal/script.php/
Array
(
[error] => foo
[param2] => blah
[param3] => rhubarb
[redirect] => done
)

I know some of those regex patterns are pretty hairy... explaining them might be worthy of a separate question though!

Which folder are you putting the .htaccess file in? You may need to add the rewritebase option (set to /portal/ ) like you used in the previous question.
In the previous question, we relaxed the pattern for the PHP file. We could try that here too, like this:
