How do I mod rewrite this link to make it a static url?
I have a site that I am trying to make SEO friendly. Using .htaccess, I want to create a mod_rewrite variable so that my product page urls like are dynamically created like this: www.site.com/details.php?prod=abcd1234 become static pages like this: www.site.com/abcd1234.php instead. I also need help writing the 301 redirect variable for the example above as well.
Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Oh, and yes the server does have mod rewrite enabled through apache.
I didn’t realize yahoo would alter my example link, but it should read prod=abcd1234, not prod=….
All you have to do in order to rewrite links is to create a .htaccess file in the root folder of your site with this content:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)(/)?$ /details.php?prod=$1 [L]
This is the script that will achieve what you asked for and the example is based on my site’s rewrite engine: http://x.excessiveplus.net
As you can see, Apache uses regular expressions, which will easen your work a lot. To learn more about the RegEx, check out this link: http://www.regular-expressions.info/
Good luck!
