Using apache mod_rewrite to redirect to php file

Question

I'd like to redirect the following url:

http://www.example.com/food/?p=11&q=22&r=33

to

http://www.example.com/food/api.php/DBNAME/?p=11&q=22&r=33

As you may have noticed, DBNAME is the name of a database. With the API I'm using it is necessary to include it in the URL.

Here's a brief folder structure of my program:

food/
   ->include/
   ->models/
   ->.htaccess
   ->api.php
   ->config.php
   ->test.php

I tried writing the rules on the .htaccess file but I get an Internal server error.

My .htaccess file looks like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ api.php/DBNAME/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I can get my head around achieving the redirection. I also tried

RewriteRule ^food/(.*)$ api.php/DBNAME/$1 [L]

but this rule just lists the files in the directory food.

Any ideas? Thanks!

PS: The query string is not just p=11&q=22&r=33 it may use any letter or word such as type, quantity and so on. p=11&q=22&r=33 is just an example.

Edit From the link that @sanj provided I changed my .htaccess ffile to this

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/food/?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ api.php/DBNAME/$1
</IfModule>

It works partially. Why partially?

I have two servers, one for testing and one for production. It works well on the testing server but not on the production server. I get an Authorization Required error. I believe it's due to the configuration in my .htaccess because if I remove the mod_rewrite module and access the url directly it works. Any ideas?

Found my mistake. The folder was protected by Basic Authentication. I needed to include login parameters in my code. I can't believe I overlooked that.

I think this will work:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteBase /food
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} /DBNAME/
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*)
    RewriteRule ^$                index.php/DBNAME/?%1 [L]
</IfModule>

I tried your suggestion and I still got the same Internal Server error.

I forget to add [QSA,L], RewriteRule (.*) api.php/DBNAME/$1 [QSA,L] . You can find a complete reference here: RewriteRule

I also forgot this the ?p=, sorry. this works for me: RewriteRule (.*) api.php/DBNAME/?p=$1 [QSA,L]

Tried it but same error. By the way, can you modify your original answer to reflect the changes you just described?

martxalen Over a year ago

The answer has been modified. I realized that [QSA,L] is not necessary. Your .htaccess file is only this: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteBase /food RewriteEngine on RewriteRule (.*) api.php/DBNAME/?p=$1 </IfModule>
