Sep 27.2011

Hello, I want to make redirect from this page [url]http://domain.com/search/?test=blablabla[/url] to [url]http://domain.com/search/blablabla/[/url]
I can’t do this, thats my RewriteRule:

[code=php]RewriteRule ^search/?test=(.+)$ search/$1/ [R] [/code]

but it doesn’t work. I can’t find a mistake, help me please.

@DariaSep 27.2011 — Just some brainstorming here...

are you trying to actually redirect to the different location (i.e. do you actually have the search/blablabla/ folder - probably not ) , or to simply rewrite the url string?


"it does not work" meaning you still see the http://domain.com/search/?test=blablabla in the url bar and page content resolves properly, or is there an error message of any sort?

Do you have your RewriteEngine turned on?
[code=html]RewriteEngine on[/code]
in you .htaccess file?

Does your host allow mod_rewrite?

If yes (and given that there are no file extensions in your sample - if it mimics your actual links - , then probably yes it is), is it the only rewrite pattern that does not rewrite properly?

@DariaSep 27.2011 — I hope I didn't make mistakes here, but I think that's what you need:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^search/([^/.]+)/?$ search/?test=$1 [L]

@ijsauthorSep 27.2011 — Thanks for reply.

I'm trying to rewrite url string.

I'm still see the http://domain.com/search/?test=blablabla in the url bar and page content resolves properly.

Yes, RewriteEngine turned on.

Yes, my host allow mod_rewrite.

That's only one pattern that doesn't work.

no, that is not what i'm looking for
[code=php]RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^search/([^/.]+)/?$ search/?test=$1 [L]
[/code]
that pattern provides that url http://domain.com/search/blablabla/ will actually work as that url http://domain.com/search/?test=blablabla and i need a page redirect (reload) on from this url http://domain.com/search/?test=blablabla to that url http://domain.com/search/blablabla/

@DariaSep 28.2011 — Can you please provide more detail on purpose of this redirect - on what is it you are actually trying to do, in terms of functionality? Are you using a SEARCH FORM to POST the date and then GETTING the value of $_POST['test'], and redirecting to the url that would be derived by this method (which is - or is it not - an actual directory)? Or are you doing something else entirely?

-------------------------------------------------------
in a meanwhile, here are some great resources:

Apache mod_rewrite: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html

When not to use: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.3/rewrite/avoid.html

@ijsauthorSep 28.2011 — I have a form mm like this [code=php]<form action="" method="get">
<input type="search" name="search">
</form>[/code]
after we use this form, to our url will add string like ?search=something

but i don't like url index.php?search=something

i want see this url index/something

i think the problem with "?" symbol, in mod_rewrite,
[code=php]RewriteRule ^index.php?search=(.+)$ index/$1/ [R] [/code]

@DariaOct 04.2011 — Don't take my word for it, but I am not sure that you can do what you want to do via form with get method... Perhaps someone else would be able to answer that better. Sorry! If I come across (an alternative) solution in the meanwhile, I would let you know.

Success!
