Simple redirection
- Edit the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* testing.php
This code redirects each request to the testing.php script.
- or:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule letstest /test_wslash/testing.php
This code redirects each /letstest request to the /test_wslash/testing.php script.
Redirect example.com to www.example.com
- This restricts website access to www.example.com, which is good for SEO:
RewriteEngine on
Rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
Rewriterule ^(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]
Redirect to a particular folder without displaying the folder in question
- If your website is not in the target folder, this will force all requests to use www.example.com, when in reality the page is called: ww.example.com/MySite
RewriteEngine on
Rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
Rewritecond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/MySite
Rewriterule ^(.*)$ /MySite/
URL rewriting
mod_rewrite enables URL rewriting
- .htaccess :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !testing.php
RewriteRule (.*) testing.php?var=$1
These rules run the testing.php script with the GET variable containing the URL.
- php:
<?
print("testing server <br/>\n");
print("var: {$_GET['var']}\n");
?>
Automatically redirect visitors to SSL when they visit the unsecured version of the website
The mod_rewrite module enables you to rewrite URLs.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]
