htaccess rewrite url redirect php file to folder

Question

I want to redirect this php url to the folder.

I always used the settings below. But since the update of apache to 2.4 it doesnt work anymore.

Goal: example.com/about.php?sub=about or example.com/about.php?sub= should be seen in the browser as example.com/about/

I use the following settings.

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(example.com)(:80)? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1/ [L,R=301] 

RewriteRule ^about/$ about.php$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^about/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ about.php?sub=$1 [L]

This is what I am using now...

@theftprevention Ah! It doesn't in lua and hence, my suggestion. — hjpotter92

I don't see any rule in your code that is making /about.php?sub= to /about.

Try this code:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+(about)\.php(\?sub=[^\s&]*)?\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^about/?$ about.php?sub=about [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^about/([a-z0-9-]+)/?$ about.php?sub=$1 [L,NC,QSA]

# Add trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [L,R]

Is -Multiviews a must have in the .htaccess? Just curious... But I still have the same problem I only get the text in the browser with sub= or sub=about the subpage is a single php file with text only. With the link www.example.com/about/about I see the complete website with the text inside the layout. But www.example.com/about/ gives the text without any body or layout.

/about.php?sub= or /about.php?sub=about to /about/ is the goal.

First thing that you need to explain your problem with more clarity. What exactly is your URL that worked earlier before these rules? Was http://site.com/about.php?sub=about a working URL? If you enter ` /about.php?sub=about` it should become /about but whether correct content is displayed or not depends on image, css, js inclusions.

Yes, now /about.php?sub=about redirects to /about/ and /about.php also to /about/. First it didn't. Before about.php showed the text inside the body and now with the redirect to /about/ it doesn't.

The url that worked before was example.com/about/ and gave the complete website and put the text from the sub=about into the website with a php include function. Since the apache update I only see plain text without layout when I go to example.com/about/ I hope this brings some clarity.
