Mod Rewrite Help

Hi,

I am trying to set-up a mod rewrite on my site.

Basically i have a urls which come out like:

recipe-details.php?id=22&title=brie kisses

This is just an example of one of the urls that i have but what i want it to do is:

/recipedetails/brie-kisses.html

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers,
Adam

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^recipedetails/(.*)\.html$ recipe-details.php?title=$1

Code (markup):

If you want to take out the ID you will have to rewrite your PHP script so that it finds the recipe only by the title.

 

Thanks for your reply nico, i have added this but does not seem to work for me.

I have created a .htaccess file and added the code above. I then placed this in the public_html folder but when i go to e.g. foundrecipes.com/recipe-details.php?title=beefy%20cheese%20ball

It does not rewrite anything. Am i doing something wrong at all?

 

Go to:
foundrecipes.com/recipedetails/brie-kisses.html

This should replace the old ugly URL.

 

Ah i think we have crossed wires here.

What i want it to do is auto fix any url when click for example when i search for beef and then the results show i want want the urls to automatically change when pressed to e.g. recipedetails/brie-kisses.html

 

You could try placing something like this in recipe-details.php.

$page_title = /* adjust for your needs */;

if (preg_match('/\.php$/i', basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])))
{
    header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
    header('Location: recipedetails/' . preg_replace(array('/[^\w-]+/', '/-{2,}/'), '-', $page_title) . '.html');
    exit();
}

PHP:

 

I have added the above but did not seem to work

This is what i put, but when i go to the page still comes up with e.g. foundrecipes.com/recipe-details.php?title=rum%20butter%20brie%20with%20fruit

	$page_title = "recipe-details.php?title=$_GET[title]";

	if (preg_match('/\.php$/i', basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])))
	{
    header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
    header('Location: recipedetails/' . preg_replace(array('/[^\w-]+/', '/-{2,}/'), '-', $page_title) . '.html');
    exit();
}

Thank you for your help on this nico.
