Is it possible using htaccess to pass the variables, but strip them from the address bar/URL?

In other words, for a link such as:

http://XYZ.com/projects/project-01.php?tID=1&sID=1

to display as either:

http://XYZ.com/projects/project-01.php

or preferably:

http://XYZ.com/projects/project-01

but still pass through the variables? In this case the variables are passing through info to style the navigation text depending on where the user is in the site. Stripping the query disables this, so I need to pass the query, and then get rid of the ugliness.

Try this out:

RewriteRule ^index.php\?(.*)$ index.php$1 [L]

doesnt work

Without knowing what CMS this is, it would probably be easier to just drop index.php from the URL and send all requests to that. Try one of the following:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule .* index.php?/$0 [PT,L,QSA]

I have a blogger account that tells me I can link my posts to go to my website, but when I put the name of my website in to link so the blog shows up, it tells me something is wrong.
Is this something that should be configured thru the htaccess file?

Good article!
as you’re offering help:
with a vanilla install of magento I run into:
the links of a first install show this:
http://my.site.org/default/customer/account/login/
but they require this:
http://my.site.org/index.php/default/customer/account/login/

if I change this with htaccess do I fix someting which is broken elsware?

HI! By default, the shared hosting servers at Hostgator require that a visitor type in the .html extension to bring up any page other than the default. How could I set that so that it would go to the .html file by default without having to type it in. Thanks!

Good Article… can anyone reply RaMp6 question?? As im waiting for that reply

how to remove the last characters in url?
from /sales/order/view/order_id/1/
to /sales/order/view/order_id/
but yet the correct page still loads.

Or have the /sales/order/view/order_id/1/ show random number or additional numbers within 1

The point is to hide the order_id number from customers who ordered.

Hi, I need to switch caching off for only one file on my site. This file is regularly updated and pulled out to users PCs by our app. But the cache is on and means that the old copies are being received. It’s one file http://www.medistat.net\public_html\newfiles\upgrade.sys that I need to disable the cahe on. How simple is this within .htaccess and what line/s do I need to add to that file??? Help!! Many thanks.

Hi, I have been trying to redirect pages with an url containign special Swedish characters å, ä and ö. I do not get the redirect to work in this case but it works in those cases where the url does not have any of these charachters. I have done the redirects as follows:

Redirect 301 /produkter/Ljuslampett-Prinsessa.html http://www.varunik.se/kategorier/Personliga-presenter/ “THIS WORKS”
Redirect 301 /produkter/Mugg-och-Skål-Flicka.html http://www.varunik.se/designers/ “THIS DOES NOT WORK”

Do you have any suggestions how to do this?

Regards
Johan

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for sharing this information. I wonder do you have any comments about using a caching plugin on Wordpress (self hosted) blog? Specifically W3 Total Cache.

I have a problem while using Firefox and Yslow or Google’s Page Speed add ons. Yslow will not recognize Gzip compression or Expire headers info on my site. They are both configured from within the admin panel for W3 Total Cache. I have used other tools (http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php and others too) and they report Gzip is working and Expires headers are set.

I guess my real question is should I use a caching plugin or do it myself with the htaccess file and other things like you have mentioned in the article?

Thanks for your help,

Trish

Hello Kyle, I am also interested in whether a caching plugin is necessary or whether it’s best (and faster) to make the modifications myself.

The reason, is because at first I was using wp super cache but my pages were still loading slowly and now with w3 total cache there are setup issues.

What do you recommend?

Christine

One of the more comprehensive guides that I’ve ever seen in the internet. I were actually looking for information about the rewrite Engine that I know nothing about and regarding caching pages on a website - I didn’t know that htaccess had so many uses! It helped me a lot, thank you.

I have spent many hours now on trying to remove part of an url,

I need to convert the url from this:

http://www.mydomaine.com/index.php?option=com_ezrealty&task=property&Itemid=54&?no_mls=MTXXXXXX

To this

http://www.mydomaine.com/index.php?option=com_ezrealty&task=property&Itemid=54&no_mls=XXXXXX

The X being the listing number (variable).

I have tried all kind of tricks but can’t do it,

Thanks for help,

Carol,

Thanks. I needed the redirect thing and I really didn’t know to do it. So know my visitors will access the new file I upload. So I just wanted to say it worked like a charm.

I currently have PHP scripts that work properly, being called like this:
http://www.example.com/user.php/paul
http://www.example.com/tag.php/food

I’m having trouble getting .htaccess to rewrite properly. I’m trying to achieve this:

http://www.example.com/user/paul
http://www.example.com/tag/food

So far, I can get it to redirect /user to /user.php, but the /paul is lost; breaking my script.

My current .htaccess looks like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /([^.\ ]+\.)+php(\?[^\ ]*)?\ HTTP
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+/)*index/?$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond $1 !^([^.]+\.)+([a-z0-9]+)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1.php [L]

Please help.
Thanks!
Paul

A good place to know about htaccess and urls is here : http://jannaud.fr/htaccess-clean-url-strip-slash, it gave me a good working solution about clean slug urls.

Hosting uptime refers to the percentage of time the host is accessible via the internet. Many providers state that they aim for at least 99.9% uptime (roughly equivalent to 45 minutes of downtime a month, or less), but there may be server restarts and planned (or unplanned) maintenance in any hosting environment and this may or may not be considered part of the official uptime promise.
