[SOLVED] Mod Rewrite Redirect

[Jagarm]

I was wondering if it's possible to redirect if user enters http://beta.berwari.net/index.php?display=contact to http://beta.berwari.net/contact

 

Thanks

I think you phrased your question incorrectly. Don't you want to rewrite the url http://beta.berwari.net/contact to point to http://beta.berwari.net/index.php?display=contact

 

?

Actually I'm correct, see some of my links are in this format http://beta.berwari.net/index.php?display=contact and when links like those are clicked, I want in the address bar to be http://beta.berwari.net/contact

In the sense that I think you mean, thorpe was correct.

 

 

You probably want something like:

 

RewriteCond

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?display=$1

[Jagarm]

I apologize for the confusion. The following is my .htaccess

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?display=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?display=$1&action=$2 [L]

 

Now let's say I have this link now if you mouse over you will see is in the ugly format, and that is what it will display in the address bar.

 

My question here is, is there any way or flag that can display http://beta.berwari.net/contact instead of http://beta.berwari.net/index.php?display=contact?

 

I am able to convert from http://beta.berwari.net/contact to http://beta.berwari.net/index.php?display=contact but that is not what i want is the other way around.

 

I don't want the user to see http://beta.berwari.net/index.php?display=contact in the address bar, even if a link is in that format I want to convert it into the proper format that is www.domain.com/page_ :police:name

 

Sorry the site is restricted to certain sites only due to work in progress.

 

I hope I have made it clear and if not please let me know.

 

Thanks for your help

You can change what will be in the address bar by using a 301 redirect (or a 302), but you cannot change the content of a page without... changing the content of a page.  In other words, you would have to change all index.php?... links to /.....

 

 

To have your webserver redirect index.php?display=contact to /contact, you could do something like:

 

RewriteRule ^index.php?display=([^&]+)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

Now I get it, really appreciate for the explanation
