.htaccess rewriting

Question

I have this .htaccess that I've been using to rewrite URLs like these:

www.example.com/index.php?page=brand www.example.com/brand www.example.com/index.php?page=contact www.example.com/contact www.example.com/index.php?page=giveaways www.example.com/giveaways

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]

I used a file called index.php to handle the redirects. Code used below:

$page = trim($_GET['page']); if($page == "giveaways") require('pages/giveaways.php');

Now, I would like to add another URL type like these:

www.example.com/index.php?page=products&p=ford-mustang

TO

www.example.com/products/ford-mustang

How will I accomplish this? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

ok, pls edit question for removing downvote

You need to add a second RewriteRule above your current one. Here's an example:

RewriteRule ^/(.*)/(.*)$ index.php?page=$1&p=$2 [L,QSA]

This will rewrite /product/ford-mustang to index.php?page=product&p=ford-mustang

Remember to add it above your current RewriteRule, because it first tries to match the first RewriteRule, when there's no match it will go on with the second RewriteRule and so further.

Thanks for your reply! I used this code: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ index.php?page=$1&p=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA] The result is somehow okay but my CSS is not working. What could be caused this problem?

if your CSS is in a folder, you can add a rule to ignore it... RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/css\.* [NC] would ignore everyting in domain.com/css add this BEFORE the RewriteRule

Ray Over a year ago

That's because the path to your css file is relative, something like this: stylesheets/style.css, then when you have such RewriteRule, the browser tries to include this file: /product/ford-mustang/stylesheets/style.css. That file doesn't exists. Try to use absolute paths (like this: http://website.com/stylesheets/style.css) or make it relative to your domain (like this: /stylesheets/style.css, notice the leading slash).

@Ray I've used absolute path like example.com/css/template.css but the CSS file still won't work.

A URL rewrite for /products/ford-mustang would be:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ index.php?page=$1&p=$2 [L,QSA]
