GET doesn't work with .htaccess clean url

Question

I am making a profile system, and using localhost/profiles?user=ryr11 works, and I tried to use

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

RewriteRule ^profiles/(.+)$ profiles.php?user=$1 [L,QSA]

so that I can use localhost/profiles/ryr11 , but when I do that I no longer get a 404 error, but using $_GET['user'] no longer works.

Answer 1

Try this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^profiles/([a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+)/?$ profiles.php?user=$1 [L,NC,QSA]

Answer 2

Keep your rules like this:

Options  -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^profiles/(.+)$ profiles.php?user=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [NC,L]

Answer 3

You need to decode the url again in order to remove - from it.

Use this

$user = $_GET['user'];
$postTitle = str_replace("-", " ", $user);

This should work again.
