appending part of REQUEST_URI in redirect url

[basit74 Profile]

Hi,

I am using 301 redirects like this.

Code: Select all

RewriteMap map txt:redirect.txt

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^(?:www\.)?example\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} view/detail/id/(\d+)/(.*)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-F
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) ${map:%1}? [NC,R=301,L]

it's working fine, but what i need is that if the url looks like
www.example.com/view/detail/id/3232/code/A135/anz/5
then the

code/A135/anz/5

part should be appended in redirect URL.

Hello,

Try using:

Code: Select all

RewriteMap map txt:redirect.txt

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^(?:www\.)?example\.com$  [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} view/detail/id/(\d+)/(.+)? [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-F
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) ${map:%1}/?%2%2? [NC,R=301,L]

Hi,

It's working great but unfortunatly could not understand the

Code: Select all

/?%2%2?

in the last line. Can you please explain it a bit

for example what we are writing %2 twice

Thank you in advacne.

Let's break down it "?%2%2?"a little:

"?%2" - if %2 is there. And we've specified that it may not be there by having '?' at the end "(\d+)/(.+)?"
"%2" - inserts the vaule of (.+)
"?" - prevents appending of original querystring
