Need help with htaccess

Hello,

My domain is accessible via 2 ways:
http://www.domain.com/
http://www.domain.com/index.php

The index.php itself has GET form, so sometimes the URL will be like:
http://www.domain.com/?var=12345
http://www.domain.com/index.php?var=12345

What I want to do with htaccess is to block the URL http://www.domain.com/?var=12345 entirely. If someone tries to access this URL, they will encounter an error response code. No redirection.

The blockage should only work for that URL, so if the URL is http://www.domain.com/?var=999 then it should work fine.

I've been trying to search on Google, but I'm out of keywords to find exactly what I want. Thank you in advance.

 

Something like this maybe:

if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],"var=12345") !== false) // looks for var=12345
    {
     // do nothing
    } else {
      header("Location: http://urlToSomeWhere.com"); // send the visitor somewhere 
       exit;
    }

PHP:

 

I'm not sure about this, but can you use PHP code in htaccess?

 

No, you would put this at the top of index.php just after <?php

 

MyVodaFone was suggesting that you add that code to your index.php file, and I think he's right, but his example code isn't really what you asked for. I think what you want is something more like:

  if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],"var=12345") !== false) {
      header("Location: /error_message_page.html", TRUE, 403);
      exit;
  }

Code (markup):

which sends the HTTP error code "403 - Forbidden" and displays the page in the "Location:" area. Be sure to leave that as a relative URL. Don't add the "http://" there. And remember that this code must be inserted before the page outputs anything else. Good luck!

 

I'm unable to edit index.php as the file was encrypted.

Moreover, if I edit index.php it would affect both http://www.domain.com/?var=12345 and http://www.domain.com/index.php?var=12345 -- I only want it to affect the /?var one only.

That's why I think htaccess is most suitable for this. Is it even possible to do this with htaccess?

 

I doesn't matter if its encrypted you can still add your own code on the very first line and the script looks for var=12345 in the url the two urls above are the same, index.php is loading regardless

<?php
code
?>

the rest of your script is below
