ali_kiyani Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi, I have the following .htaccess file: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+) displaypage.php?page=$1 [NC,L] Using it I can read URLs like this: www.mywebsite.com/cats www.mywebsite.com/cars www.mywebsite.com/computers Now I want to modify .htaccess file so it can also read the following: www.mywebsite.com/cars/bmw www.mywebsite.com/computers/pc Think of 'cars' as category and 'bmw' as subcategory. I want to read both but because of my current .htaccess file I can only read categories and nothing after it.

wildteen88 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 You'll have to setup a second rule for this, eg: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d # matchs mysite.com/cars/bmw RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)/([a-z0-9-]+) displaypage.php?page=$1&sub=$2 [NC,L] # matches mysite.com/cars RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+) displaypage.php?page=$1 [NC,L] To retrieve the sub catergory in displaypage.php you'll use $_GET['sub'] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150368-solved-modifying-htaccess-file-to-display-sub-category/#findComment-789697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali_kiyani Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 I tried it but didn't work. It still only prints $_GET["page"] value and when I use print $_GET["sub"] then nothing is printed on screen.

wildteen88 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Change your rewrite rules to # matchs mysite.com/cars/bmw RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)/([a-z0-9-]+)$ displaypage.php?page=$1&sub=$2 [NC,L] # matches mysite.com/cars RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)$ displaypage.php?page=$1 [NC,L] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150368-solved-modifying-htaccess-file-to-display-sub-category/#findComment-790234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
