Goal: simplify the url<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A normal url request with parameters looks like this:<\/p>\n

\r\nwww.server.com\/mysite\/index.php?param1=value1\r\n<\/pre>\n
In many cases we need the following form:<\/p>\n
\r\nwww.server.com\/mysite\/value1\r\n<\/pre>\n
how to:<\/strong><\/p>\n
1. we have to accept the invalid<\/span> request as a normal one.<\/p>\n
Let’s create a .htaccess file<\/strong> in the root with the following content:<\/p>\n
\r\n<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>\r\nRewriteEngine On\r\nRewriteBase \/mysite\/\r\nRewriteRule ^index\\.php$ - [L]\r\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f\r\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d\r\nRewriteRule . \/mysite\/index.php [L]\r\n<\/IfModule>\r\n<\/pre>\n
2. receive the parameter in your php code<\/p>\n
\r\n$url = explode('\/',getenv('REQUEST_URI'));\r\n$code = array_pop ($url);\r\n<\/pre>\n
or<\/b><\/p>\n
1. we can transfer the invalid<\/span> request to a normal one.<\/p>\n
\r\nwww.server.com\/value1 -> www.server.com\/?q=value1\r\n<\/pre>\n
Let’s create a .htaccess file<\/strong> in the root with the following content:<\/p>\n
\r\n<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>\r\nRewriteEngine on\r\nRewriteBase \/\r\nRewriteRule ^\/?([-A-Za-z0-9]+)\/?$ ?q=$1 [R=301,L] <-- with redirect\r\nor\r\nRewriteRule ^\/?([-A-Za-z0-9]+)\/?$ ?q=$1 [L]       <-- no redirect\r\n<\/IfModule>\r\n<\/pre>\n
where R=301<\/code> is doing a quick jump with 301 Moved Permanently<\/i> to the converted request string.<\/p>\n
2. receive the parameter in your php code<\/p>\n
\r\n$code = $_GET["q"];\r\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
