How to rewrite a subfolder in the URL to a PHP get parameter

Question

I am making a webpage that uses one template HTML page and uses PHP to fill in the rest from JSON files.

I am trying to find out how I can rewrite a URL from .../project/jsonfilename/ to .../project/index.php?f=jsonfilename .

I have tried to use the following code in a .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^project\/([^\/]+)\/?  /index.php?f=$1

But this passes "index.php" as the argument instead of the subfolder I want.

Answer 1

Check this rule in your .htaccess file (for /project/jsonfilename/ <> /project/index.php?f=jsonfilename)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^project\/(.*)\/$ /project/index.php?f=$1 [L]
