how to change URL

[rajendernreddy]

Hi All,

I have a question that, I am trying to change my URL structure from http://mysite.com/content/feed?type=22 to http://mysite.com/content/feed/type/22

will you please help me out, what configuration I have to change and how to read that values for example

http://mysite.com/content/feed?type=22 in this case I am reading as $_GET['type'] for value 22, in case this is my url http://mysite.com/content/feed/type/22

then how to get that value.

Thank you
Raj

Usually this is done with
Rewrite inside a .htaccess file in your website root.

I am no good with this. But there are people here around.
Here is a link with some examples of such Rewrite you ask for:

Good Luck.

If you are already reading $GET['type'], cant you just set a header like

header("$FEED/type/$GET['type']");

Otherwise you can apply a rewrite rule to Apache , either through the local .htaccess file or the Apache httpd.conf file as Halojoy suggested.

Note however, if you are using .htaccess files, you have to allow override for rewrite in your httpd.conf for the $FEED directory (or inherited from a parent directory).

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^content/feed/type/(\d+)$ content/feed?type=$1 [L]

That should do it

Hi ,

Thank you for your reply and I was trying to implement on my site but getting 404 error when I am trying to access site.

here is my file :

AuthUserFile /usr/local/www/virtual/www.MYSITE.COM/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Protected Area"
Require valid-user

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

#RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([.]+)/?$ $1.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
#RewriteRule ^{content/feed/feed_name/(\d+)$} content/feed?feed_name=$1 [L]
#RewriteRule ^{content/content/cat/(\d+)$} content/content?cat=$1 [L]
#RewriteRule ^{content/list/page/(\d+)$} content/list?page=$1 [L]

</IfModule>

basically I have following urls
http://www.mysite.com/content/content?cat=Asia
http://www.mysite.com/content/feed?feed_name=All%20Interracial
http://www.mysite.com/content/list?page=studio

I want to convert them to

http://www.mysite.com/content/content/cat/Asia
http://www.mysite.com/content/feed/feed_name/All%20Interracial
http://www.mysite.com/content/list/page/studio

I am new to this and it looks like I messed up my .htaccess file and I kept it under root directory ( same level at public_html) folder

I have my content folder under public_html
/usr/local/www/virtual/www.mysite.com/public_html/.htaccess

All php files are at
/usr/local/www/virtual/www.mysite.com/public_html/content/

Thanks again for your reply
Raj
