Redirect this dynamic URL to html URL with htaccess

Question

I have lot or articles with this URL format:

mydomain/art/details.php?articleid=24463&parentid=1&catid=166

the above is an example.

And i want that redirect these kind of URL to :

mydomain/art/24463.html

Please let me know that how can i do it with .htaccess?

Thanks in advance

Since parentid and catid are not in your new format url and are dynamic parameters, you can't have a generic rule. You must use RewriteMap or write a rule by url. Or you can add thoses params to your new format url and then it will be possible to write a generic rule — Justin Iurman

You could use a new format as /art-166/1-24463.html and then have a generic rule like RewriteRule ^art-(\d+)/(\d)-(\d+)\.html$ /art/details.php?articleid=$3&parentid=$2&catid=$1 [L] — Justin Iurman

Well this is an example like yours: mydomain/art/24463.html. By new format i mean the new accessible url — Justin Iurman

Instead of mydomain/art/24463.html you should choose something like mydomain/art-166/1-24463.html.

This way, you'll include also parentid and catid which are dynamic parameters (and so, needed for rewriting).

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/art/details\.php\?articleid=(\d+)&parentid=(\d+)&catid=(\d+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /art-%3/%2-%1.html? [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^art-(\d+)/(\d+)-(\d+)\.html$ /art/details.php?articleid=$3&parentid=$2&catid=$1 [L]

Static is mainly better for users right now. You can find a note about it: googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/09/…

The problem here is that you have dynamic parameters such as parentid and catid. They can't be defined as static in your rule
