Question

Rewriterule end slash

Answer 1

A:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\/]*)\/([^\/]*)\/?$  index.php?band=$1&song=$2 [L]

Note the ending ?

This is working but it broke the access to my CSS files (which are in myhost.com/folder1/folder2/). Any idea why?

Maxime 2010-05-27 15:33:53

Yeah, because this is matching any 2 folder-deep access and passing it to index.php instead. You should add `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f` and `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d` in two different lines right before the RewriteRule, so existing files won't be affected by this rule.

I'm not sure what you mean... with those rules, if the file exists it'll be served as-is. If not, the URL will be rewritten and handed over to index.php. Isn't that what you want?

Seb 2010-05-27 18:15:35

Actually yes. But there's still a problem in that if I type /var1/var2/ (with slash) it'll be interpreted in my script as if I typed /var1var2/ (like they were concatenated). But it must be the question mark's fault.

Maxime 2010-05-27 18:27:12

Ahhh I see... it's because you have `(.*)` and it's matching the inner slash. Replace those occurrences for this: `([^\/]*)`.

Perfect, thanks! Now do you think it's possible to redirect URLs like myhost.com/var1/ to another PHP file? I tried to place this before the RewriteRule with var1 and var2: [code]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^([^\/]*)\/?$ page2.php?var1=$1 [L][/code]But for some reason this page2.php takes ages to load...

Not sure what may be happening. One thing to check would be to remove those `*` and replace them with `+`, so you only redirect if there's actually *something* in between the slashes. But regardless, consider having just one rewrite rule and handling all delegation in a master PHP file. Like rewriting `^(.*)+\/?$` to `index.php?q=$1`, then handling inside that index.php what that string has. This will make things easier for you to maintain in the future, and also gives you greater flexibility.

That's an idea that I may well try. It shouldn't be too complicated to see how the string is built and then to redirect it where I want. I'll try it a bit later today though. Thanks for your fast answers! There's just one last thing I would like to ask you: how do you write code in comments here?

Maxime 2010-05-28 13:51:08

hehe np... to write code, enclose it in backticks `, as when you write inline code in the question. You can also write italics and bold, enclosing with one or two asterisks as well. Oh, and it seems you're new to SO: remember to mark an answer as correct if it fulfilled your question. Good luck!

Seb 2010-05-28 14:40:41

`Thanks`, so far I've only used the four spaces thing.
