使用htaccess清理URL

Question

I am new on this forum, so i need help. I'm working on my website with PHP/MySQL and I stack with .htaccess

So there is my code

<a href="namebook-'.$row['book_name'].'" class="btnmore">Review</a>

And there is my htaccess,

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^book/namebook-([a-zA-Z0-9.\/\-\?\&]+)\.php$ book/namebook.php?name=$1

And with code I get URL like this: mywebsite.com/book/namebook-book1

So I want to get clean URL like this: mywebsite/book/book1

Answer 1

Sounds like you just need to remove namebook from the first part of the URL?

ie change this:

<a href="namebook-'.$row['book_name'].'" class="btnmore">Review</a>

to this:

<a href="'.$row['book_name'].'" class="btnmore">Review</a>

Answer 2

The key here is your last rewrite rule:

RewriteRule ^book/namebook-([a-zA-Z0-9.\/\-\?\&]+)\.php$ book/namebook.php?name=$1

Your rewrite rule is sending your requested value (anything that matches [a-zA-Z0-9.\\/\\-\\?\\&]+ ) to your PHP script but only if your URL matches book/namebook-<variable> - eg mywebsite/book/namebook-book1 .

To allow mywebsite/book/book1 you need to remove namebook- from the start of your rewrite rule:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^book/([a-zA-Z0-9.\/\-\?\&]+)\.php$ book/namebook.php?name=$1
