pneudralics Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Trying to attempt to mod rewrite but just getting error 500. What I'm trying to get is: backgrounds/Animals/Birdy/29 So will the first set of A-Z replace Animals or category? If it replaces Animals..does it just ignore category? RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^backgrounds/([A-Z]+)/([A-Z]+)/([0-9]+)$ backgroundsimage.php?category=Animals&title=Birdy&id=29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gffg4574fghsDSGDGKJYM Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Options +FollowSymLinks <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^backgrounds/([A-Z]+)/([A-Z]+)/([0-9]+)(/?)$ backgroundsimage.php?category=$1&title=$2&id=$3 [NC,L] </IfModule> This code actually work (tested). I replace the GET value with $var. Added (/?) in the regular expression so you can use both with or without a trailling slash like that : http://www.example.com/backgrounds/animals/birds/70/ http://www.example.com/backgrounds/animals/birds/70 Added a NC flag mean case insensitive (no case) Added L flag mean when it match pattern apply it and stop there (don't read other rules in .htaccess) My best guess is that you are missing the 'Options +FollowSymLinks' needed by mod_rewrite or mod_rewrite isn't installed.

pneudralics Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Where did you test it? I tried WAMPSERVER AND XAMMP and it still doesn't work. I don't get any errors, it just doesn't rewrite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pneudralics Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Where did you test it? I tried WAMPSERVER AND XAMMP and it still doesn't work. I don't get any errors, it just doesn't rewrite. what do you do in order to try it ? Click on the links on the page that are dynamic.. When I type it in the browser it works. Now if I have this: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^backgrounds/$ backgrounds.php [NC,L] </IfModule> and I type http://localhost/backgrounds/ all my links are now under the backgrounds directory so none work anymore. Isn't mod_rewrite suppose to rewrite the url so if I type http://localhost/backgrounds.php it'll change that to http://localhost/backgrounds/ ?

pneudralics Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 and if I hover over links it'll say backgrounds/ instead of backgrounds.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 mod_rewrite will not rewrite urls already within a webpage. You have to modify your urls manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pneudralics Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 mod_rewrite will not rewrite urls already within a webpage. You have to modify your urls manually. .htaccess file now have this in it RewriteRule ^backgrounds/(.*)$ backgroundscategory.php?category=$1 [NC,L] php file with links now have this echo "<a href=\"backgrounds/$categorylink\" class=\"backgroundsfg\">$categorylink</a><br />"; Everytime I click on the link it keeps adding backgrounds/...so my url will eventually look like: http://localhost/backgrounds/backgrounds/backgrounds/backgrounds/category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pneudralics Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Got it. Did this: echo "<a href=\"/backgrounds/$categorylink\" class=\"backgroundsfg\">$categorylink</a><br />"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
