Perad Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I am redeveloping a site and the client wants to keep the link structure. The link structure is bad and I am strugling to rewrite it. If someone could help me with this first one I should be able to rewrite the rest of them. This is the URL. http://localhost/iraqidinars/iraqidinars/newiraqidinars.html I need the server to redirect requests for this file to... http://localhost/iraqidinars/index.php?page/1 I tried adding this line RewriteRule ^iraqidinars/newiraqidinars\.html$ iraqidinars/index.php?site/show/1 However this generates an error. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POG1 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Why would you want to make a nice URL into a not nice URL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perad Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 To be honest, the url should be like this. sitename.com/pagename/ However, I have been told that I must, MUST keep existing url's. I have no choice on this matter, this is despite my best arguing. All I want to do is this. When someone goes to this page. http://localhost/iraqidinars/iraqidinars/newiraqidinars.html The URL should show the above. However the server needs to show this page. http://localhost/iraqidinars/index.php?page/1 I thought that this was what mod_rewrite was for. To make sitename.com/page into sitename.com/index.php?page=... All I want to do is make a php page display when a html page is called. I hope that makes sense.

POG1 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'm sure you will be doing it with a quite a few URLs do try something like this.. RewriteRule ^/([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z]+)\.html$ /index.php?site=$1&page=$2 [L] I'm not very good with regular expressions but if it works as i think it will then you could have something like; iraqidinars/newiraqidinars.html and it would go to; index.php?site=iraqidinars&page=newiraqidinars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
