网址重写无效

Question

On my website I am trying to rewrite a long URL to a SEO friendly one.

I've got the following code, but it doesnt seem to affect anything! However if I type dgadgdfsg into my htaccess, it throws an internal server error. So I am presuming it is something with Rewrite Rule.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /missing-people/user-profile.php?userID=$1&firstName=$2&lastName=$3 [L]

I have confirmed that mod_rewrite is on.

---

This is the current URL

http://mysite.com/missing-people/user-profile.php?userID=1&firstName=Liam&lastName=Gallagher

and this is what I want it too appear like

http://mysite.com/1/Liam/Gallagher

Answer 1

Change your RewriteRule to this (slightly modified from your version)

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ missing-people/user-profile.php?userID=$1&firstName=$2&lastName=$3 [QSA,L]

If that doesn't work try putting a R flag for testing purpose (which will make your browser change the original URI to: /missing-people/user-profile.php?userID=1&firstName=Liam&lastName=Gallagher

Answer 2

Presuming your userID is comprised only of digits and firstName and lastName are only alphanumeric.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /(\d+)/(\w+)/(\w+)/ /missing-people/user-profile.php?userID=$1&firstName=$2&lastName=$3 [L]

A more strict version that does the same thing except it sets boundaries for the beginning and the end of the evaluated regex.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /^(\d+)\/(\w+)\/(\w+)$/ /missing-people/user-profile.php?userID=$1&firstName=$2&lastName=$3 [L]
