Mod_rewrite issuess..

Sep 12.2007

I am using the following code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^booksearch/([0-9A-Za-z]+)$ booksearch/booksearch.php?ISBN=$1
RewriteRule ^booksearch/([0-9A-Za-z]+).php$booksearch/booksearch.php?ISBN=$1

If I remove the second rule, it works and redirects url/booksearch/XXXXXX to booksearch.php?ISBN=XXXXXX.

I however also want url/booksearch/XXXXXX.php to load up booksearch.php?ISBN=XXXXXX

I have tried multiple different ways of writing it, but can’t seem to find the solution.

Any help?

@Kostas_ZotosSep 13.2007 — Hi,

I think is better to combine the 2 rules in one expression. For example to write something like this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^booksearch/([0-9A-Za-z]+)(.php)?$ booksearch/booksearch.php?ISBN=$1

Note: the ? quantifier in regex (.php)? makes the ".php" optional (to exist once or not at all) so both cases normally should fit.

@smartboybyndauthorSep 14.2007 — Nope, still doesn't work.

Here is the code in my .htaccess file:


AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^booksearch/([0-9A-Za-z]+)(.php)?$booksearch/booksearch.php?ISBN=$1

The following code does work, except just for booksearch/ISBN, not Booksearch/isbn.php:



RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^booksearch/([0-9A-Za-z]+)$ booksearch/booksearch.php?ISBN=$1

@Kostas_ZotosSep 16.2007 — Just an assumption: [B]did you leave a space between the 2 parts in your rule?[/B]

(you need this space -between "..$ booksearch.."- to separate the parts: the match pattern and the target)

[B]You wrote the rule without a space:[/B]
RewriteRule ^booksearch/([0-9A-Za-z]+)(.php)?[COLOR="Purple"]$b[/COLOR]ooksearch/booksearch.php?ISBN=$1[/QUOTE]

[B]Try this (Just use a space after the first $ -from left- to separate the 2 rule parts):[/B]

RewriteRule ^booksearch/([0-9A-Za-z]+)(.php)?$ booksearch/booksearch.php?ISBN=$1

[B]Or use more parentesis, [COLOR="Navy"](note the use of $2 back-reference in this case):[/COLOR][/B]

RewriteRule ^booksearch/(([0-9A-Za-z]+)(.php)?)$ booksearch/booksearch.php?ISBN=[B][COLOR="Navy"]$2[/COLOR][/B]

Success!
