URL重写不会自动重写

Question

I have this simple redirection on my website and it does not rewrite my url automatically, I have to type manual other URL to access it, what could be the problem, do I need to have something enabled in php.ini, below is the rewrite rule

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^new-page-([^/]*)\.php$ /mypage.php?name=$1 [L]

Answer 1

If you are doing it in .htaccess you should also specify RewriteBase / . Try

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^new-page-([^/]*)\.php$ mypage.php?name=$1 [L]

This rewrites new-page-something.php to mypage.php?name=something internally.

ADDED:

Perhaps you want this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^new-page-([^/]*)\.php$ mypage.php?name=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|POST|HEAD|TRACE)\ /mypage.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} name=([^\&]*)
RewriteRule ^mypage.php$ new-page-%1.php? [R,L]

The first added RewriteCond checks whether the real request is requesting for /mypage.php to prevent a redirect loop. The second added RewriteCond is used to match the query string for use in RewriteRule.
