[SOLVED] Help with Rule

[Warriorpt]

Hi everyone,

 

i have in my htacess this:

 

#Rewrite Rules

RewriteRule ^match/([0-9]+)$ ?k=match&id=$1

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ ?k=about

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ ?k=about

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ ?k=matches

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ ?k=matches

 

but, in my website, when i try to call /matches/ the website open the /about/ page.

 

If i change to:

 

#Rewrite Rules

RewriteRule ^match/([0-9]+)$ ?k=match&id=$1

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ ?k=matches

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ ?k=matches

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ ?k=about

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ ?k=about

 

The /matches/ page open, but when i click in /about/, it opens the matches page.

There are some way to repair that?

Hi there

 

In your first example, if you access "/matches/" the second rule is redirecting you to your about page. This is because ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ is trying to find any combination of letters and numbers and a slash, which includes the string "/matches/". If you want something else to happen when you access "/matches/", create rules like this:

 

RewriteRule ^matches/?$ ?k=matches

RewriteRule ^about/?$ ?k=about

 

The question mark is useful before the slash as it means with or without the preceding character. Hope this helps.
