How to do this simple Mod_Rewrite?

Hi, if i have pages as page1.php and page2.php, how can i have them rewrited to /page1 and /page2? I only want the selected pages to, bcz the pages use include function so i dont need that messed up. And i will also make a directory /something and add something else in it so i dont want it to find something.php

Any help is highly appreciated

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^page1$ /page1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^page2$ /page2.php [L]

Code (markup):

Not tested, but should work.

 

Cool, it works... But if i use it, i can still access page1.php and page2.php, possible if anyone access page1.php or page2.php, they are redirected to /page1 and /page2?

Another thing, if i open /page1 it works, but /page1/ doesn't, any fix to this? (i tried adding a slash to the redirect, but then the page isnt reading the css file

 

In the mod_rewrite he provided, if the pattern didn't contain a / at the end then it won't match /page1/ , ideally you might need to do something like /? on the end meaning with or without /

 

Do not delete old lines, just add these lines in your .htaccess file so you pages will work with slash

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^page1/$ /page1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^page2/$ /page2.php [L]

Tested and working Enjoy!!!!

 

Or instead of doubling the lines, just do

RewriteRule ^page([0-9]+)/?$ /page$1.php [L,QSA]

which would pretty much take any page#/ and send it to page#.php
Also the QSA flag automatically forwards any attached querystring on the end.

Basically one line to do the work of 4

 

well thanks for that, and i was indeed going to do that but he did say

so that's why I wrote the two separate lines. However this will help others surely!

 

In his case he'd just need to remember the /? then which would mean may or may not have a trailing slash.

 

yea, i already did that but, after doing that, /page1 doesn't work, only /page1/ works, i want it to work either ways, and also want page1.php (if anyone accesses) to redirect to /page1/ or /page1

 

Read a couple more post and you'll see the /?$ method which tells the interpretor that it may or may not have a trailing slash.

 

I understood that, i need the .php pages to be redirected

 

Couldn't you just use a redirect?

Redirect 301 /page1.php /page1
Redirect 301 /page2.php /page2

It seems like it might work, but then again it might make an infinite loop.

 

First part could be done simpler

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^page([0-9]+)(/?)$ /page$1.php [L]

Code (markup):

 

I take it you didn't read the thread.

 

Hmmm.... I'll have to try this (i have a feeling it will work, but wtf if it just keeps on looping? )

I would have used that, but did you bother reading my reply on that post?

 

My bad.

RewriteRule ^page([0-9]+)\.php$ /page$1 [L,R=301]

or something like that would create an infinite loop with the first rule, so I'm afraid I'm not able to help you with that.

 

Just tried that, and it doesn't work
