Rewrite URL using php code

Question

I have experimented a lot already. I have tried every possible combination using .htaccess file however they did not work for me, so i have to put this query for which i need very specific solutions.

No CMS is used. The website is an eCommerce site developed using php. Hosting provider is godaddy.

My site url structure is

• For Product Pages = https://www[dot]sitename.com/product.php?product=productid
• For Category Pages = https://www[dot]sitename.com/category.php?category=category-name
• For SubCat Pages = https://www[dot]sitename.com/category.php?subcategory=sub-category-name

I want

• For Product Pages = https://www[dot]sitename.com/product/productid/
• For Category Pages= https://www[dot]sitename.com/category/category-name
• For SubCat Pages = https://www[dot]sitename.com/category/subcategory/sub-category-name

How can i do this using php code?

Answer 1

Maybe something like this

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

Options -Indexes

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]

RewriteRule ^product/([0-9]+)$ product.php?product=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)$ category.php?category=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/subcategory/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)$ category.php?subcategory=$1 [L]
