将example.com/dashboard.php更改为example.com/index.php?action=dashboard

Question

I would like to change my site page URLs from the following:

mysite.com/profile.php

to

mysite.com/index.php?action=profile

What language would work for this? I tried a bunch of .htacesss codes but none seem to work! Any .htacess suggestions?

My code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule   ^profile.php(.+)$   /index.php?action=$1   [L]

Answer 1

Why not just put redirect code on index.php so that if a $_GET['action'] variable exists and points to 'profile' you'll be redirected to profile.php?

Otherwise I believe .htaccess is what you're going to have to use to address this redirection/URL rewrite.

Put this at the top of you index.php page...

<?php

    if ($_GET['action'] == "profile") {
        echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0; url=profile.php' />";
    }

?>

Using htaccess redirects is ususaaly used the other way, when we want to have clean URL'S , didnt see much that work the other way but it is of course possible. I agree with @ScottCarmichael that if you are working with querystrings PHP if statement (or switch) is a good solution (but i prefere usin hearder() function rather than refresh ) , then you can have an include on the top with a PHP script with all conditions.

If you still think htaccess is the way for you, try this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^profile.php$ index.php?action=profile [R,L]
