htaccess rewriterule regex

Eddie Adams · 03-14-2011, 01:29 PM

anyone can help me with this? i am trying to rewrite the following format:

colors/veveo/7232/

to

veveo/7232/swatch.html

The next rewriterule doesn't:

Code:

RewriteRule colors\/([-_A-Za-z0-9]*)\/([-_A-Za-z0-9]*)\/?$ $1/$2/swatch.html

Also this does not work:

Code:

RewriteRule ^colors/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? $1/$2/swatch.html

Hi,

Try this one:

Code:

Rewriterule ^colors/(.*)/([0-9]+)/$ /$2/$1/swatch.html

Cheers

Does not work either.

Both the segments can be whatever character, so i tried this...

Code:

Rewriterule ^colors/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /$2/$1/swatch.html

which doesn't work either

Are you sure? It's working here.
Clear you browser cache and try again.

I was assuming the url was passed reformatted to php. It is not. I picked up the url in php and reformatted it. Now it is working. Any change to do the redirect in htaccess?

You mean you want to pass the rewritten URI in a php script?
Then add the [R] flag at the RewriteRule:

Code:

Rewriterule ^colors/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /$2/$1/swatch.html [R]
