.htaccess中的数值RewriteRule

Question

I've searched a lot, but didn't find anything.

I am using codeigniter. my current url is:
base_url/content_controller/content_download/download_id

but, I need to do it:
base_url/download_id

as download id is numeric, my .htaccess doesn't work.

RewriteRule ^download/content/2$ 2 [L]

Please tell me how to solve that and if there is any way to do it without .htaccess.

Answer 1

Do you mean something like this?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ /download/content/$1 [L]

So if you request http://example.com/123 , the URI will be rewritten to /download/content/123 .

Answer 2

Thanks Jon, I tried several times but multiple rule conflicts. So I do it in another way. when I hit the URL http://www.example.com/2/ it shows Not Found. So, I use 404 controller to handle the numeric value. Finally I have done it.
