.htaccess (redirection rule)

[xiaawan]

Hi All,

I am having problems with redirection rules.

 

I have a url for example

www.site.com/index/customMessages/message/inactive

www.site.com/index/customMessages/message/request

etc.

 

I want these urls to be redirected to the following url

www.site.com/message

 

Whatever may be url I want it to redirect to the above url. Is it possible to redirect All urls to one.

But I need the value of message i.e (message/inactive or message/request) because I am making decisions in the php to display a message on the page . But I dont want these variables and their values in the browser.

 

I am using following lines in the .htaccess file

 

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [R]

RewriteRule ^index/([^/]+)/(.*)$ http://www.site.com/index.php?cmd=$1&params=$2/

 

RewriteRule message(.*)$ http://www.site.com/index.php?cmd=customMessages&params=$2

 

but this rule does hide message but not its value

 

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.
