Making this same rewrite rule work without the slash at end of URL

[adrianTNT]

Hello.

I have this rule:

 

RewriteRule ^(.*)/ index.php?word=$1

 

Meaning that site/index.php?word=Adrian is also shown at site/adrian/

But how do I make it work without the slash at end too? site/adrian

 

I thing this should be simple but this is my first attempt with URL rewrite.

Thank you.

I assume you had your mod_rewrite working as you want it to be,

to make it optional, simply just put a ?, so it should be this.

RewriteRule ^(.*)/? index.php?word=$1

I tried this just now, It still works with the slash but if I do not enter the slash at end I get:

 

Not Found

The requested document was not found on this server.

Alright, how about this?

RewriteRule ^(.*)(/)? index.php?word=$1

Alright, how about this?

RewriteRule ^(.*)(/)? index.php?word=$1

That line and many other combinations I try makes it print the file name (index.php) because in index.php I only have echo $_GET['word']; so (that I can see if it works), the line you mentioned shows the right word that I type in url, the one without slash prints "index.php".

 

Maybe the problem is in php/apache settings? But in static site urls (without htaccess) if I do not type the slash it redirects me to the same url with slash at end, it does this by default.

 

Any other ideas?

Thank you.

I think I got it, the problem was that I was trying to rewrite in the same directory, it seems to work ok in other directories.

 

Thanks for your help.
