MY URL: http://localhost/test.php
I am using:
.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L] PHP:
$url = $_GET['url']; echo var_dump($url); But all I get for $url is:NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL
Edit: adjusted to handle both the redirect and the rewrite.
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / # Redirect .php URLs to rewritten URLs RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ $1 [L,QSA,R=301] # Rewrite URLs for processing by router (index.php) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L,NC] You should exclude the RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d condition, as it will attempt to access a directory if your URL matches it. Probably not desirable when doing url rewriting.
index.php
$url = isset($_GET['url']) ? $_GET['url'] : null; var_dump($url); 
include("/var/modules/{$url}.php"); to load the external moduleI just wanted to leave this somewhere for future users. This removes both HTML and PHP extensions from URLS.
