I have htaccess like this
RewriteRule i_am_(.*)_fan([0-9]).html$ /fans.php?player=$1&page=$2
When i enter url like this http://messi_fans.com/i_am_messi_fan2.html.it redirect to the page http://messi_fans.com/fans.php. But the GET variable is
Array ( [player] => messi_fan2 [page] => )
I want GET like this Array ( [player] => messi [page] =>2 )
How to modify above htaccess?
Start by using at least the basic directives and some condition to prevent a loop, like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !fans\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/i_am_([^_]+)_fan([^.]+)\.html/? [NC]
RewriteRule .* fans.php?player=%1&page=%2 [L]
Map silently
http://messi_fans.com/i_am_messi_fan2.html with or without trailing slash
To:
http://messi_fans.com/fans.php?player=messi&page=2
For permanent and visible redirection, replace [L] with [R=301,L]
You should use a lazy quantifier by appending a question mark to your .*:
i_am_(.*?)_fan([0-9]).html$
it should be
RewriteRule i_am_([a-zA-Z])_fan([0-9]).html$ /fans.php?player=$1&page=$2
