mod_rewrite for "site.com/foo" and "site.com/foo/bar" ?

I need the RewriteRule for these

www.site.com/foo
must redirect to
www.site.com/index.php?var1=foo

and

www.site.com/foo/bar
must redirect to
www.site.com/index.php?var1=foo&var2=bar

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Hi,

Try this (not tested) :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ /index.php?var1=$1  [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)\/([a-z]+)$ /index.php?var1=$1&var2=$2  [L]

Code (markup):

This assumes that foo and bar can only contain lower case letters.

for lower and upper case.

RewriteEngine on
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([aA-zZ]+)/(aA-zZ]+)$ index.php?var1=$1&var2=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(aA-zZ]+)$ index.php?var1=$1 [L]

Code (markup):

If url will contain upper and lower case.
If problem, server may require leading /

RewriteEngine on
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/([aA-zZ]+)/(aA-zZ]+)$ index.php?var1=$1&var2=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/(aA-zZ]+)$ index.php?var1=$1 [L]

Code (markup):

 

both didn't work

I can redirect www.site.com/foo[I].html[/I] to www.site.com/index.php?var1=foo but I can't redirect without that .html

 

Try to see if this works.

RewriteEngine on
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ index.php?var1=$1&var2=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?var1=$1 [L]

Code (markup):

I had already tried that.

But I have found the way to do this

This has worked like a charm. I have found this via http://wettone.com/code/clean-urls and modified it a little. Thanks all anyway.

 

does anyone know a way to use mod_rewrite to replace spaces (%20) in the url and replace them with a dash (- or ~)?

any help on this would be most appreciated...

 

Here it is:

RewriteRule ^([[:alnum:]]+)[[:space:]]([[:alnum:]]+).([[:alpha:]]+)$ http://www.somedomain.com/$1-$2.$3 [NC,R=301,L]

Code (markup):

more at http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum92/317.htm

Only work with 1 space in url

 

thanks for the heads up...

looks like this one is going to be tricky...

 

Make the script search for spaces and change them in to -. Then you don't need to make mod_rewrite do it. (You would need to know php to edit the script!)
