    Hello,

    My problem is that when I go to http:\/\/untoldscifi.com it pulls up the other site that I have on the server as well. The http:\/\/www.untoldscifi.com works well.

    I don't want to get banned so you need to manually enter the urls to test.

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.untoldscifi\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://untoldscifi.com/$1 [L,R=301]

    Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

    For BlueEew

    If the php files are like "page-one.php" "page-two.php" "page-google.php"
    (the word "page" always remains the same)

    then try this..

    
    Options +Indexes
    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^/page/(.*)/$ page-$1.php [L]
    
    Code (markup):

    I am currently using two methods for one website to create two different URLs.

    Here are the following:

    # Force search engines to use www.domain.com
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$
    RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]


    # Specify search friendly URLs
    RewriteRule ^category/subject/page-name/?$ /category-subject-page-name.php [L]

    The above to create URLs with more then one / in them, then the following:

    RewriteRule ^page-name/?$ /page-name.php

    The above to take the .php anf make it a pretty URL.

    Remember to always add "/?$" without the quote to the end of all pretty URLs. This will make the page work if someone enters a / or not on the end of a web-page URL for example:

    www.domain.com/page/
    www.domain.com/page

    Both will work as long as it as "/?$" on the rewrite.

    Also the part I have bolded will also make your domain redirect to www. even if you don't add the www. when entering URL. Take the www. off this part to make it just http://.

    Dear Friends,

    How to change this URL:
    detail.php?title=Super Duper Cupcakes: Kids' Creations from the Cupcake Caboose&item=1402721749

    into:
    Super Duper Cupcakes: Kids' Creations from the Cupcake Caboose-dp-1402721749

    My RewriteRule:
    RewriteRule ([^/]+)-dp-([A-Z0-9]+)$ detail.php?item=$2&title=$1 [NC,L]

    The rule works well if the title doesn't have colon ":". But, it fails when there is a colon ":" in the title and returns 403 Forbidden Page.

    I've tried to remove the colon in the title using php so that the requested url look like this :
    Super Duper Cupcakes Kids' Creations from the Cupcake Caboose-dp-1402721749
    but, it still doesn't work. If I change the : to / it works but my page messed up..

    How do I solve this problem ?

    You wanna get it so it's like

    Super-Duper-Cupcakes-Kids-Creations-from-the-Cupcake-Caboose-dp-1402721749

    no spaces or special characters. To get the URL looking nice, use something like...

    $line['title2'] = trim(preg_replace('/[^\w\d]+/', ' ', $line['title']));
    $line['title2'] = str_replace(' ', '-', $line['title2']);

    First line get's rid of all special characters. Second line changes spaces to -.

    Hi all, I am new to mod rewrite,
    I know that it can rewrite the url to a SEF url.
    but do I need to manually change the links?

    for example, my website is:
    http://www.ciel.com.hk/diamond.php

    here, user can search diamond base on some criteria, if i want to use the new rewrite url, how should i go about it? and for the list of items, how do i change the link of it?
    so instead of linking to:/diamond_detail.php?serial=CD1000288
    i want it to link to: /diamond/CD1000288.htm

    manually? does mod rewrite does it?
    i know i can rewrite the url so that the latter links to the previous one if i type it in the url, but i can't figure out HOW to get there automatically.

    Thanks for the help in advance

    A .php file won't even know you have a .htaccess file! All mod_rewrite does is makes the static URL work. You still have to change the link code.
