Shorten URL for htaccess

Question

I am editing a code for making my url short but there is a problem with it had to have two variable so that it can be found in server? The code i create is like this:

RewriteRule product/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ product_info.php?ItemName=$1&uid=$2

result:

http://Example.com.my/product/NBR/901003-7

if the uid is being taken out the url will become error and show that file could not be found. is it about the htaccess code or the php code that cause this problem.

the url that i hope to get is this: http://Example.com.my/product/NBR

Answer 1

You can set up 2 different Rewrite rule in the .htacess file

1. Rewrite rule if you have uid in your URL

   RewriteRule product/([^/] )/([^/] )$ product_info.php?ItemName=$1&uid=$2

2. Rewrite rule if you do not have uid in your URL

   RewriteRule product/([^/])$ product_info.php?ItemName=$1

Here is the screenshot:

With UID

Without UID

.htacess code

Hope it works for you.
