So I've been asked to clean up the URL's for the web app that we're currently running on apache (version 2.4.9 if so interested), but after messing around with mod re_write commands for a few hours, I think I'm running around in circles. Here's what I'm attempting to do.

If the url is something like this (http://www.foo.bar/admin/index.php ), have it display as http://www.foo.bar/admin

If the url is something like this (http://www.foo.bar/admin/testpage.php ), have it display as http://www.foo.bar/admin/testpage

If the url is something like this (http://www.foo.bar/admin/testpage.php?id=15&foo=www ), have it display as http://www.foo.bar/admin/testpage?id=15&foo=www

So far I have it to where the index.php resolves....mostly.....and the second example resolves....sometimes. Basically the code that I have seems very flaky and only resovles two levels down in the file tree. So I was wondering if anyone here could help me out on this at all? here's what I have in the vhost file (because I didn't want to have to have this in every directory as an .htaccess file)

AllowOverride None
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2/$3.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

Something like this should work :

RewriteRule ([^/]+)/(.*)/?index.php$ $1
RewriteRule \.php $1

Edit : The first rule could be replaced by this one, which is more straight forward :

RewriteRule (.*)/index\.php?$ $1

e.g :

URL = http://www.foo.bar/admin/index.php

Matched rule = RewriteRule ([^/]+)/(.*)/?index.php$ $1

Result : http://www.foo.bar/admin

URL = http://www.foo.bar/admin/testpage.php

Matched rule = RewriteRule \.php $1

Result = http://www.foo.bar/admin/testpage

URL = http://www.foo.bar/admin/testpage.php?id=15&foo=www

Matched rule = RewriteRule \.php $1

Result = http://www.foo.bar/admin/testpage?id=15&foo=www

  • Very nice. The last two seem pretty straight forward, but could you explain the first one? I'm kind of surprised it needs that much compared to the other two's simplicity. – canadiancreed May 03 '15 at 23:08
  • The first one can be "simplified" using this : `RewriteRule (.*)/index\.php?$ $1` Seems more readable this way. – krisFR May 04 '15 at 06:00
