blueman378 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 hi guys, i was wondering how would i go about (basically i have a rewrite rule which turns kidblog/disclaimer into kidblog/index.php?section=disclaimer so if someone types in kidblog/DisClaimEr it would translate that into kidblog/index.php?section=DisClaimEr, so how owuld i make it so even with capitals it still translates it into lowercase, i dont want a redirect or anything like that.

printf Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Just ad * NC * to the condition... kidblog/index.php?section=$1 [L,NC] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/144750-htaccess/#findComment-759563 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gevans Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Just ad * NC * to the condition... kidblog/index.php?section=$1 [L,NC] With A-Za-z as the regex surely the [NC] part is unneseccary?

haku Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I think the problem is when he gets that variable using $_GET. Which means that this should work: $var = strtolower($_GET['section']); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/144750-htaccess/#findComment-759571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, but using a regex makes the point of the rewrite kind of silly, if you're only wanting to rewrite KiDlOg/DisClaimEr, then NC is the best way because what stops someone from doing KiDlOg/monkeys, you lose the restriction on the rewite because your allowing for anything after * / *. Plus it still wont match because kidlog is not in lower case! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/144750-htaccess/#findComment-759574 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it still wont match because kidlog is not in lower case! I see what you're saying, but when I use rewrite on sites it's usually for everypage (maybe not in this case) so I use a regular expression that will allow letters and dashes or whatever's needed. Then the $_GET value is checked in the script as it should be. If it's wrong they go to the home page so people misspelling etc don't get an error but a redirect to the home page of the site.

blueman378 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 cheers guys, i use the regex because i only want letters there, the ht access file is in the kidblog directory so the redirecting wont work anywhere else anyway, and i know im able to do it through php, i was jsut wondering is there anyway to do it jsut through htaccess?
