I have a url of the form:
www.example.com/r/abc/1234
that I want to rewrite to:
www.example.com/r.php?deb=abc&id=1234
And another url:
www.example.com/r/12bcd-qsqs-343-wdwd/1234
which should be rewritten to:
www.example.com/r.php?abc_id=12bcd-qsqs-343-wdwd&id=1234
Both of these rule should be handled by .htaccess. Any suggestions?
Both the URIs that you want to redirect look similar except that 2nd one has hyphens - in first query parameter.
Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^r/([^-]+)/(.+)/?$ r.php?deb=$1&id=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^r/([a-z0-9-]+)/(.+)/?$ r.php?abc_id=$1&id=$2 [L,QSA,NC]
R flag in above 2 RewriteRule lines to see what is the final URI on server.Try something like :
RewriteRule (.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ path_to_php_files/$1.php?deb=$2&id=$3 [QSA,L,NC]
Unfortunately with this rule, you would have the first $_GET parameter always deb and I hope you have the DirectoryIndex set up corectly. I do not think that for
www.example.com/r/abc/1234
www.example.com/r/12bcd-qsqs-343-wdwd/1234
you can delivrer the abc and 12bcd-qsqs-343-wdwd to 2 different $_GET parameters if you have dynamic links.
