URL Rewrite a Query String

Question

I have Google'ed long for this but can't find an answer.

I have this URL:

www.mysite.com/index.php?tip=1 

(respectively www.mysite.com/?tip=1 )

And want it to rewrite to:

www.mysite.com/tip/1

Your help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You will need to enable rewrite module in your apache config and put the following settings on the .htaccess file your base folder

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule   ^tip/(.*)  /index.php?tip=$1  [L,NC,QSA]
