I have a setup that sets variables for the index page, but it also does the same for directories and I don't want it to do that. Here's my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(login|images|favicon\.ico|home|about|sitemap|contactus|termsandconditions|privacypolicy|signup|search|careers|error|css|js) [NC]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ index.php?name=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)/$ index.php?name=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)$ index.php?name=$1&page=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/$ index.php?name=$1&page=$2
RewriteRule ^php/$ error/
Now, with this setup, if I type in mysite.com/login
it will redirect to the index.php
page and set login
as the name
variable. How do I make it to where it ignores the directories? This is frustrating me and I've looked through this site for over an hour for an answer and can't find a similar question (I might suck at that too, though. haha!).
Also, if you look at the last RewriteRule
, you can see that I'm trying to redirect any attempt to access my php/
folder to my error/
folder. This is also not working.
RewriteCond
only applies to the immediately following RewriteRule
. Also, you can combine lines 3&4, and 5&6 respectively, by using /?
on the end, which makes the /
optional (regex).
Your file could be similar to this:
RewriteEngine On
#the following line will not rewrite to anything because of "-", & stop rewiting with [L]
RewriteRule ^(login|images|favicon\.ico|home|about|sitemap|contactus|termsandconditions|privacypolicy|signup|search|careers|error|css|js)/?(.*)$ - [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^php/?(.*)$ error/ [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?name=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?name=$1&page=$2 [L]
